| 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.
|
| 8-CHARACTER
ALPHANUMERIC DISPLAY |
 Providing
indication of either the channel number or an Alphanumeric
Channel Label of up to 8 characters, the LCD display
alsoprovides
convenient operation function icons to provide instant
recognition of radio status.

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. |
| 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. |
