The Polmar Kayak is a rugged PMR446 handheld transceiver designed for use in harsh conditions, including water-based activities. Its IP67 rating means it can withstand immersion in water, and the cast aluminium body provides durability while aiding heat dissipation. It operates on 16+16 PMR446 channels with CTCSS tones, reaching up to 4 km in open terrain and 400 m in obstacle-rich environments.

The Kayak includes NCR active noise reduction for clearer audio in windy or noisy surroundings, three call ring tones, power saving, and a backlit display with seven selectable colours. The rechargeable Li-Ion 7.4 V / 1800 mAh battery provides extended operational time, and the unit ships with a belt clip, charger, and user manual.

Key Features

• 32 PMR446 channels (16+16) with CTCSS tones

Product Benefits

• IP67 certification permits temporary immersion — making this the appropriate choice for kayaking, sailing, and other water activities where splash protection alone is insufficient
• NCR active noise reduction improves speech clarity in wind, engine noise, or crowd environments, reducing the need to repeat messages
• The 7.4 V / 1800 mAh battery offers greater capacity than standard PMR units, extending communication time between charges
• Dual Watch mode monitors two channels simultaneously, so no incoming call on a secondary channel is missed
• Power save function conserves battery life during periods of low activity without powering the unit down completely
