Pasted Graphiclogo_std_millogo_std_submersiblelogo_std_intrinsically


Compact size for commercial or recreational use
Tough and waterproof
The IC-M88 is built tough to withstand hazardous environments. Even if it is dropped into water, its waterproof construction* will protect it from harm.
* Equivalent to IPX7. (1m depth/30min.)
Simple operation
The volume/power knob combines with 6 clearly labeled front panel buttons to maximize simplicity of operation. A large, clear LCD with backlighting and backlit buttons make night time operation easy.
Li-Ion battery for long battery life
With the standard battery pack, the IC-M88 provides up to 15 hours of operating time.* Also, no worries about 'memory effect' of the battery with Li-Ion technology.
* Tx:Rx:Stand-by= 5:5:90 with BP-227.
Intrinsically safe versions
Versions are available that conform to the intrinsically safe rating of the FM Global. See the specification pages for the details.
22 programmable channels
The IC-M88 has 22 programmable channels reserved for land use (146–174MHz).* Wide/narrow channel spacing is programmable for each channel, and CTCSS and DTCS signaling is built-in.
* Appropriate license will be required.
