Description
Genuine OEM IPX7 Waterproof Marine Hand Speaker Microphone
Original equipment replacement palm microphone featuring channel controls, durable coiled cable, and Molex connection for Icom IC-M324 fixed-mount VHF transceivers.
The Icom HM-200B (catalog part HM-200B / HM200) is an authentic original equipment manufacturer (OEM) marine hand speaker microphone designed specifically for Icom fixed-mount VHF maritime transceivers. Engineered as the direct factory replacement for the microphone originally supplied with the IC-M324 and IC-M324G radios, this palm mic restores crystal-clear voice modulation and dependable Push-To-Talk (PTT) operation. Whether replacing a unit worn by salt spray, damaged by severe offshore weather, or lost during vessel refits, the HM-200B delivers factory-grade acoustic clarity and instant channel navigation from the helm.
Built to withstand demanding nautical environments, the Icom HM-200B features an IPX7 submersible waterproof rating, capable of surviving temporary submersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes without seal failure or audio distortion. The ergonomic housing incorporates tactile channel UP and DOWN buttons alongside high/low transmit power and emergency Channel 16/9 access controls, allowing captains and crew to manage radio functions without reaching for the main radio console. Terminating in a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant Molex connector with an industrial-grade coiled lead, the HM-200B operates in full compliance with maritime FCC Licensing standards to keep vessel communications dependable offshore.

The HM-200B is engineered specifically for the Icom IC-M324 and IC-M324G (GPS-integrated) fixed-mount VHF maritime transceivers.
Is the Icom HM-200B waterproof?
Yes. The HM-200B carries an IPX7 waterproof rating, allowing it to withstand complete submersion in up to one meter of fresh or saltwater for 30 minutes without leaking.
Can I change VHF channels directly from the microphone?
Yes. The HM-200B features integrated Channel UP and Channel DOWN navigation buttons on the housing, allowing you to cycle through operational marine channels without having to touch the radio dial.
What type of connector does this microphone use?
This microphone uses an authentic internal multi-pin Molex plug designed to mate directly with the dedicated wiring harness of the IC-M324 and IC-M324G radio chassis.
