Cloaning
|
| 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-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 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. | | 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.
| | 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. | | | | 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.
