HT Icom IC-M36 VHF Marine Transceiver

VHF Marine Transceiver ICOM IC-M36 Product Details Clear Voice Boost and It Floats! Clear voice + voice boost In marine environments there are many sources of noise that can affect the quality of your communications, such as engine noise, breaking surf and more. The IC-M36 automatically adjusts the outgoing voice and the incoming audio to compensate for the ambient noise level: whether you' re in a loud environment or in a quiet area, the IC-M36 ensures your radio conversation is sent and received as clearly as possible. And yes, it floats Continuing the legacy of the IC-M34, the IC-M36 floats back up to the surface if dropped overboard, even if the optional speaker microphone, HM-165, is attached. AquaQuake draining function The vibrating " buzz " sound clears water away from the speaker grill. LOUD button When you need an instant “ boost” in the volume, a simple push of the “ LOUD” button gives you full volume immediately. In addition, holding the “ LOUD” button mutes the audio output. Noise cancelling microphone The sub-microphone on the rear panel inverts phase and cancels out ambient noise from the main microphone. As a result, the IC-M36 reduces the affect of background noise ( particularly trebly noise) from the transmitted signal and makes it easier to catch voice communication. Automatic volume adjustment When in an engine room or high noise environment, the sub-microphone detects the ambient noise and the IC-M36 automatically increases the volume output to suit the surrounding environment. Low power consumption Although the IC-M36 delivers a high 6W RF output and 700mW audio output, its current saving circuit offers a practical 8 hours* of operating time with the supplied 980mAh Lithium-Ion battery pack. * Typical operation with Tx ( Hi) : Rx: standby= 5: 5: 90 Large buttons and slim dimensions Thanks to the large, easy-to-operate buttons, the IC-M36 provides intuitive operation. A pinched-waist slender body makes it easy to hold and carry the radio, and is surprisingly compact for a floating radio.
