- Compact body: While the IC-V85 provides a full 7 watts of output power, its 110mm body height is compact enough to allow for easy carrying.
- 7W of high output power: With its large capacity Lithium-Ion battery pack, BP-227, the IC-V85/E provides a practical 7 hours of operating time. Reduced power (4W/0.5W) settings are also available for even longer operating time.
- External DC power jack: Allows operation with an external DC power supply (11.0V DC). The IC-V85/E can transmit and receive while charging.
- Water resistant construction: Equivalent to IPX4 rating for reliable operation in wet conditions.
- 107 memory channels and 10 memory banks: Store up to 107 memory channels with 5-character display capabilities and assign custom names. Use the DMS (Dynamic Memory Scan) system to scan selected memory banks.
- Built-in CTCSS/DTCS: Provides quiet stand-by, tone-access repeater use, pocket beep alerts, and tone scan detection.
- DTMF memory and optional DTMF decoder: Includes 16 DTMF memory channels for remote control operation. Optional UT-108 decoder unit adds code squelch and pager functions.
