A model for large yachts and organizations, but not only...
For large yachts, sailors need to communicate with the port on VHF or with each other on a private channel. The M85 is perfect for this. In addition, it is equipped with an accessory plug to connect a microphone or headset.
Port personnel will also be very fond of this model since they can benefit from a marine and land VHF in the same model.
This miniature VHF will also meet the needs of boaters looking for a discreet but effective VHF.
Terrestrial channels by programming
In addition to the VHF channels, the IC-M85E covers the 136 to 174 MHz band, on the Professional Land Band (PMR). This VHF has 100 programmable private land channels. It allows, if necessary, to have an encryption of the conversations for even more confidentiality compatible with devices equipped with a compatible card. Switching from marine to terrestrial VHF mode is done with the programmable multifunction button on top of the VHF, which is always accessible.
Tiny, discreet and very complete
This ultra light (246 g) and compact (56 x 92 x 29 mm) model will be forgotten on your belt because it is so discreet. The VHF is not floating, but waterproof IP67 (immersion to 1 m depth for 30 minutes). The technical functions developed by Icom are also present as the AquaQuake (water ejection of the speaker by infrasound). Its speaker is powerful (700 mW) to remain audible in all situations.
This VHF comes with a Li-Ion battery of 2010 mAh which gives it an autonomy of about 14h.
