VHF Radio · GMDSS
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.
What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Check antenna and feeder condition, channel operation, audio quality, power supply and emergency or portable battery arrangements where applicable. Test DSC functions only with the approved test method on DSC-equipped radios. Verify programmed identity and position input. RF output and sensitivity measurements should follow manufacturer and GMDSS service procedures.
Carry fuses, microphones or handsets, battery packs or chargers for portable sets, antenna connectors, power leads and selected approved control accessories.
