Vertex standard vx-160 uhf 450-490MHZ portable radio
Lithium-ion Battery (FNB-83LI, 7.2V, 1400mah)
Rapid Charger VAC-10G (CD-30 + PA-38B/C/U*)
* Free programming cable & software for 3 sets of radios (or more) in one time. (Unit price = USD25)
Built to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S. MIL-STD 810 C/D/E standards, the VX-160 is designed to survive under difficult operating conditions of shock, vibration, and driving rain. Cost-performance begins with durability, and the Mil-Spec toughness of the VX- 160 is your guarantee of its design quality.
* SUPER RUGGED CONSTRUCTION
Housed inside a high-impact case, the diecast chassis of the VX-160 provides a solid, rugged foundation for the VX-160's cicultry. Built to survive in the real world of factory, construction site, or fleet use, the VX-160 will provide many years of reliable communications.
* CTCSS / DCS ENCODE + DECODE
High-performance Encoder/Decoder circuits for both CTCSS and Digital Code Squelch are provided, for access to tone/code controlled systems. DCS is ideal for crowded RF environments, providing superior immunity from false opening of squelch.
The VX-160 includes a DTMF Automatic Number Identifier (ANI) circuit, which will respond to an incoming ANI burst for selective paging of an individual portable.
* VERSATILE SCANNING FEATURES
The high-speed scanning capability of the VX-160 includes "All channel scanning, plus Dual Watch and Priority Channel capability. And with "Follow-Me" scanning, a designated channel may be watched during scanning of other channels.
This built in feature allows you to decode up to two, 2-tone pairs per channel. These can be used for two individual pager calls, or one for
Individual and one for Group call.
To facilitate efficient channel management, the VX-160 provides Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO) and Busy Tone Lock-Out (BTLO) features. What's more, the transmitter's Time-Out Timer (TOT) function prevents a "stuck microphone" condition from jamming a channel for an extended period of time.
* ARTS (Auto Range Transponding System)
Included in the VX-160 is Vertex Stanard's exclusive ARTS" feature, which can be critically important in search-and-rescue applications. ARTS provides a "hand-shake" with other ARTS - equipped transceivers, and the display indicates if an "Out of Range" condition exists. The base station can then alert the field unit to move to a better location.
To maximize battery life, the VX-160 includes both transmit- and receive-mode battery savers. On transmit, the portable will reduce power when the incoming signal is very strong. On receive, the radio will put itself into a pulsing "sleep" mode, periodically checking for channel activity.
The channel and feature configurations are easily programmed in minutes by the dealer, using the optional CT-42A Programming Cable
and CE44 Programming Software.
* RADIO TO RADIO CLONE FEATURE
For quick programming of VX-160 radios for fleet use, the "Clone" feature allows copying of all channel and other configuration data from one VX-160 to another, using the optional CT-27 Cloning Cable.
Ideal for reception in noisy environments, the VX-160's high-powered audio is coupled to a large internal speaker, assuring solid copy
throughout difficult construction site or field operations.
