Compact and Lightweight

  • The IC-M85E is the most compact (W×H×D: 56 × 92 × 29 mm) and lightweight (weight: 246 g (with BP-290, FA-SC58V and MBB-3)) 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.

700mW Powerful Audio

  • Despite its compact body, the IC-M85E delivers 700mW 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-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 1 m submersion for 30 minutes and dust-tight protection. The radio also passes MIL-STD-810 specifications
