A Marine and Land Mobile Radio Combined in One
Compact and Lightweight
The IC-M85 is the most compact (W×H×D: 56 × 92 × 29 mm; 2.2 × 3.6 × 1.1 in) and lightweight (weight: 246 g; 8.7 oz (with BP-290, FA-SC58V and MBB-3)) commercial grade marine and land mobile hybrid radio in the world*.
Covering 136–174 MHz Land Mobile Frequency
In addition to VHF marine channels, the IC-M85 covers 136–174 MHz land mobile channels. Up to 100 programmable channels are available for land mobile use. Each channel is programmable with CTCSS and DTCS tone.
700 mW Powerful Audio
Despite its compact body, the IC-M85 delivers 700 mW of loud audio. Clear communications is vital in noisy environments.
Private Conversation
The radio has a built-in Voice Scrambler and provides private communication between stations (32-code, compatible with UT-112 voice scrambler unit).
Automated Emergency Alarm
The IC-M85 has three emergency related functions: the MOB Alarm, Man Down and Lone Worker functions. If one of these functions are activated, the radio automatically makes an emergency alarm.
Instant Operation with Multi-Function Button
Channel group changing (marine ⇔ land mobile) or the scrambler function ON/OFF can be assigned in the multi-function button on the top panel*. The Key lock function can be activated by holding the button.
IP67 and MIL-STD Rugged Construction
The IC-M85 is built durable to endure 1 m submersion for 30 minutes and dust-tight protection. The radio also passes MIL-STD-810 specifications.
