Icom HM-183LS Waterproof Compact Speaker Microphone for IP100H / ID-52A / IC-F200
The HM-183LS is the OEM waterproof compact speaker microphone for Icom IP-series, D-STAR, and LMR portable radios using the 2-pin Slim L type connector. It carries an IP67 waterproof rating and weighs 130 g with a 500 mm coiled cable. The 8-position rotatable tie clip keeps the microphone positioned correctly whether clipped to a shirt collar, vest strap, or jacket lapel across a full shift.
Why Professionals Choose the Icom Speaker Mic HM-183LS
A field technician, security officer, or warehouse supervisor running an IP100H or IC-F200 needs PTT access without reaching into a pocket. The HM-183LS clips to the chest or shoulder with an 8-position rotating clip, so the operator can key up and monitor audio without breaking task focus. The 500 mm coiled cable gives enough reach from belt or chest clip to the mouth without slack bunching up in gear or catching on equipment.
The 2-pin Slim L type connector sits at a right angle to the radio jack, which reduces strain on the connector port during movement — a straight connector on an active user fatigues the jack socket over weeks of shift use. The IP67 rating holds when the HM-183LS is connected to a compatible radio, meaning the full assembly withstands rain, splashing, and brief submersion without requiring the operator to disconnect the mic before entering wet environments.
The HM-183LS covers a wide range of current Icom platforms: IP-series WLAN and LTE/PoC handsets (IP100H, IP501H, IP503H, IP504H), D-STAR handhelds (ID-52A, ID-50A, ID-52A PLUS), and LMR portables (IC-F200). A single SKU covers mixed-fleet operations where different radio models share the same connector standard — a meaningful advantage for facility managers sourcing accessories across departments.
Third-party speaker mics for the 2-pin Slim L connector exist, but connector fit tolerances and clip mechanism durability vary. The HM-183LS is the original Icom part, built to the same specification as the radios it connects to.

FAQ
Is the HM-183LS compatible with the Icom IC-705?
The IC-705 uses a different connector configuration and is not listed in the official Icom HM-183LS compatible products page on icomamerica.com. The HM-183LS uses the 2-pin Slim L type connector, which is specific to IP-series, D-STAR ID-series, and select LMR portables. Contact our team to confirm the correct speaker mic for your IC-705 setup before ordering.
What is the difference between the HM-183LS and the HM-186LS?
Both are compact waterproof speaker mics using the same 2-pin Slim L connector. The HM-186LS is a smaller and lighter form factor designed for users who need a lower-profile mic. The HM-183LS is 130 g with a 500 mm cable; the HM-186LS is lighter and shorter. Compatibility varies by radio model — verify your specific radio against each model's official list before ordering.
