The Icom HM-236 is a professional-grade, handheld speaker-microphone designed specifically to meet the demanding requirements of marine communication environments. Engineered with a robust, waterproof housing that complies with the stringent IP67 dust and water protection standards, this micro-loudspeaker can withstand submersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. It is the ideal heavy-duty accessory for crew members, port authorities, and offshore teams utilizing the Icom IC-M85E marine handheld transceiver.
This compact speaker-mic features an ergonomic talk-listen Push-to-Talk (PTT) key that is easy to operate even while wearing thick work gloves. To ensure complete durability and neat cable management, the unit is equipped with a high-resiliency coiled curly cable with a relaxed length of 490mm, minimizing the risk of snagging on onboard machinery. The cable terminates in a secure, multi-pin 14-pin connector designed to create an airtight, threaded seal when attached to the transceiver body, preventing moisture and fine salt spray from compromising the electrical contact points.
