IC-M85

VHF Radio · GMDSS

Class-certified type (DNV register) · technical data sheet not yet verified

Icom Marine IC-M85 is a marine VHF radio installation. It is normally installed on the bridge, in a radio console or as a portable unit depending on the exact model and approval. Its primary purpose is to provide short-range ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore and distress or safety communications in the marine VHF band. Compared with MF/HF equipment, VHF is intended for line-of-sight communications and uses simpler antenna systems but remains dependent on antenna height, feeder condition and correct channel configuration. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, materials, connection details, and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we can check availability and prices faster; without them we may have to ask first, which can cost a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
