Icom HM167 Speaker Microphone

The IPX8 rating means this microphone is fully waterproof and can withstand continuous immersion in water under specific conditions. It is designed to remain operational even if you are working in heavy rain or accidentally drop it in shallow water.

The HM167 is designed for specific Icom radio models that utilize the standard multi-pin connector. You should verify your specific radio model's accessory port compatibility before purchasing to ensure a secure fit.

The larger form factor is intentional, making it easier to grip and operate while wearing gloves. It provides a more tactile experience compared to compact microphones, which is helpful in high-stress environments where you need to locate the push-to-talk button quickly.

Icom has engineered the HM167 to maintain clear audio transmission despite the waterproof housing. While the sound profile may differ slightly from an open-air microphone, it is optimized to ensure your voice remains intelligible in noisy or wet conditions.

This model features a coiled cable, which provides the necessary flexibility to move your head and radio freely without the cord getting tangled or snagged on gear.
