Description
Icom Earphone w/Throat Mic Headset f/M72, M88 & GM1600 (Model HS-97) is a hands-free communication accessory designed for specific handheld marine VHF transceivers. It picks up speech vibrations directly from your neck, making it ideal for high-wind or high-noise boating environments.
Key Features & Capabilities
- Throat Microphone: It wraps comfortably around your neck to detect vocal cord vibrations. This completely eliminates surrounding wind and engine noise.
- Discreet Design: Features an inconspicuous, lightweight single ear-bud monaural style for all-day comfort.
- VOX Capable: Supports Voice Operated Transmit (VOX) for complete hands-free operation.
Critical Compatibility & Adapter Requirements
The headset uses Ω 2.5 mm stereo plug and cannot plug directly into your handheld radio without an inline adapter cable or PTT/VOX unit. Depending on your exact radio, you must pair it with one of the following:
- Icom IC-M72 / IC-M71 / IC-GM1600E: Requires the Icom OPC-1392 Adapter Cable or the Icom VS-1L / VS-1 VOX Unit.
- Icom IC-M85 / IC-M85E: Requires the Icom VS-5MC VOX/PTT Case with a 14-pin connector.
- Icom IC-M88: Requires the appropriate waterproof connector adapter (like the OPC-2004 or OPC-2006 depending on your setup).
