Icom IC-M85 EURO Handheld VHF Radio

Marine and PMR Hybrid for professional use

The Icom IC-M85 EURO Handheld VHF Radio is the hybrid model in the model range. In addition to the existing marine radio channels, the device can also be programmed by the specialist dealer with the company radio channels assigned to your company or your organisation.

Compact and Lightweight
The IC-M85E is the most compact and lightweight commercial grade marine and land mobile hybrid radio in the world (As of November 2017, researched by Icom)

Covering 136–174 MHz PMR Frequency
In addition to VHF marine channels, the IC-M85E covers 136–174 MHz PMR channels. Up to 100 programmable channels are available for PMR use. Each channel is programmable with CTCSS and DTCS tone.

700 mW Powerful Audio
Despite its compact body, the IC-M85E delivers 700 mW of loud audio. Clear communications is vital in noisy environments.

Automated Emergency Alarm
The IC-M85E 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 - PMR) 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-M85E is built durable to endure 1m submersion for 30 minutes and dust-tight protection. The radio also passes MIL-STD-810 specifications.
