Many thanks to Kellie Hewitt from ICOM Australia for providing me an ICOM M88 Marine handheld VHF radio for my Race around Australia!

I already used a similar (borrowed) model around New Zealand, and Greg used one around Iceland.

So I’m just glad to have an own one now!

It comes with the following features:

- Waterproof, not just water resistant (JIS 7)

- Li-Ion battery for extra long battery life

- 55 Marine Channels and 22 free channels for Land use

- Suitable for use with VHF LMR band private frequencies

- Large Backlit LCD display

- Normal, Priority "TAG" scanning

-  Intrinsically Safe version available (with scrambler capability)

-  Waterproof speaker Mic, battery case & antenna
