Tough, waterproof construction
The IC-M87 is built tough to withstand hazardous and unhospitable environments at sea and on land. Even if the IC-M87 is dropped into water, complete waterproof will protect it from harm. The compact and durable body also has been tested to military specifications (MIL-STD).
* Equivalent to JIS Grade 7 or IPX7 of the corresponding International Standard IEC 529 (1989). (1m depth for 30 minutes)
Simple operation
6 clearly labelled buttons on the front panel and the volume/power knob maximize simplicity of operation. Even when wearing gloves, the large buttons are easy to operate. A large, clear LCD with backlighting and backlit buttons make night time operation simple.
Li-Ion battery for extra long battery life
With the standard 1700mAh Li-Ion battery pack, BP-227, you can get up to 15 hours of operating time* without worrying about ‘memory effect’ of the battery. An optional AA alkaline battery case, BP-226, provides a convenient back up and great reassurance in an emergency.
* Typical operation; Tx:Rx:Stand-by duty ratio = 5:5:90
Waterproof speaker-microphone, HM-138
An optional waterproof speaker-microphone, HM-138, provides reliable operation, allowing you to wear the IC-M87 on your belt for added portable convenience.
22 programmable channels for PMR use
The IC-M87 has 22 free channels reserved for PMR 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.
