VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER
(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 too!
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.

Please note : The noise cancellation can produce little or no effect in some conditions depending on type of noise, or the position and distance between the noise source and the microphone, etc.
              The noise cancellation does not work when an optional external speaker-microphone is connected.
