The M85 is the smallest, lightest and toughest radio on the market today!
The 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
M85 because of the 100 programmable land mobile channels, as well as the easy
to use built-in voice scrambler for private communications. The M85 is full of
the features you need including an automated emergency alarm.

Full Featured
The M85 user-friendly display includes icons and indicators like transmit
power, VOX ON/OFF, battery status, scan, weather channel and more. These icons
and indictors improve the user-experience and operation. The M85 also includes
a continuous 20-position rotary selector and ON/OFF volume knob, which is
tilted for easy access.
For emergency situations the 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 M85’s 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.
Land Mobile Use
In addition to VHF marine channels, the M85 covers 136–174MHz land mobile
frequencies. Up to 100 programmable channels are available for land mobile use
at 2W output power. Each channel is programmable with CTCSS and DTCS tone.
