IC-M85UL Intrinsically Safe, Ultra Compact Handheld VHF Marine Radio with 5W Power Output

The IC-M85 is the smallest, lightest, and toughest radio on the market today!

The IC-M85 can withstand hazardous and inhospitable environments at sea and on land, as it is built to MIL-STD 810. The IP67 waterproof rating protects the radio, even if dropped in the water. Yacht and commercial customers like the IC-M85 because of the 100 programmable land mobile channels, as well as the easy-to-use built-in voice scrambler for private communications. The IC-M85 is full of the features you need, including an automated emergency alarm.

Full-Featured

The IC-M85 user-friendly display includes icons and indicators like transmit power, VOX ON/OFF, battery status, scan, weather channel, and more. These icons and indicators improve the user experience and operation. The IC-M85 also includes a continuous 20-position rotary selector and an ON/OFF volume knob, which is tilted for easy access.

For emergencies, the IC-M85 includes the MOB Alarm, Man Down, and lone worker functions. If one of these functions is activated, the radio automatically makes an emergency alarm.

The IC-M85* built-in voice scrambler provides private communications between stations. The multi-function button on the top of the radio can be assigned to the scrambler function for easy activation. Or use the multi-function button to simply change from marine to land mobile frequencies.

*The IC-M85UL does not include the built-in voice scrambler.
