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

Full-Featured
The IC-M85 user-friendly display includes icons and indicators like transmit power, VOX ON/OFF, battery status, scan, weather channel, and more. These icons and indicators improve the user experience and operation. The IC-M85 also includes a continuous 20-position rotary selector and an ON/OFF volume knob, which is tilted for easy access.
For emergencies, the IC-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 IC-M85 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 IC-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 tones. Proper licensing is required to operate within the above land mobile frequencies.

What a great little piece of tech - I don't know how we got by without it in the past. No more guessing how full the holding tank is or having to clean icky tank senders. This little bluetooth RADAR sending unit mounts on top of the tank and connects wirelessly to our Victron Cerbo.
Setup is super easy, push the button on the unit so it can calibrate to the tank then enable bluetooth and set up your rank dimensions on your Cerbo. It's as easy as that.
We've had it installed and running for about two weeks now and couldn't be more pleased (We like it enough that I ordered a second one for our water tank.)
Lots of wiring - no leaks! Be sure to run ALL the wires through BEFORE completing the run!

"Currently" super happy.
Installed on Yanmar 4JH57 engines with Zeus Controllers - HOLY WOW power. Losing some power at top end but overall very satisfied. Will do a long term review later. Talk about power - hope to never need my generator again!
