 |

|
| MIL-STD 810 C/D/E |
|
Built to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S. MIL-STD 810 C/D/E standards, the VX-180 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-180 is your guarantee or 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 circuitry. Built to survive in the real world of factory, construction site, or fleet use, the VX-160 will provide many years of reliable communications.
|
| 8-CHARACTER ALPHANUMERIC DISPLAY |
| |
| Providing indication of either the channel number or an Alphanumeric Channel Label of up to 8 characters, the LCD display also |
provides convenient operation function icons to provide instant recognition of radio status.
|
|
| 3 PROGRAMMABLE OPERATING FUNCTION KEYS |
|
Customization of feature access is easily accomplished at the time of programming. Flexibility in assignment of features ensures compatibility with existing system requirements.
|
| 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.
|
| DTMF ANI |
|
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.
|
| 5-TONE SIGNALLING SYSTEM |
|
The radio has built in capability to encode
and decode 5,6 or 7 tone selective calling
codes in 11 different tone formats.
Features such as Stun/kill/revive and
emergency modes are supported.
|
| DUAL 2-TONE DECODE |
|
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.
|
|
|
| ARTS™ (Auto Range Transponding System) |
|
included in ine VX-160 is Vertex Standard'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.
|
| TX/RX BATTERY SAVER CIRCUIT |
|
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.
|
| PC PROGRAMMING |
|
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.
|
| 500 mW AUDIO OUTPUT |
|
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.
|
| BCLO, BTLO, AND TOT |
|
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.
|
| 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 |
