| | DURABLE CONSTRUCTION | | MIL-SPEC CONSTRUCTION
Built to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S. MIL-STD 810 C/D/E standards, the VX-900 is designed to survive under difficult operating conditions of shock, vibration, and driving rain. 
| DIE-CAST CHASSIS AND WEATHERPROOF CASE DESIGN
The VX-900's ruggedness begins with its one-piece die-cast  aluminum chassis, which provides high strength and durability along with light weight. Surrounding the portable's circuitry is a one-piece high-impact case, sealed against water ingress by a robust O-ring. | | WATER SHIELD MICROPHONE CONNECTION
The multi-pin accessory connector on the side of the VX-900, sealed for protection against weather, provides a convenient connection point for the MH-50A7A Speaker/Microphone or other accessories. Its gold-plated contacts ensure many years of reliable service. | | NON-WIRE MAIN BOARD CONSTRUCTION 
Advanced non-wire construction improves reliability over the life of the radio. Non-wire construction eliminates the durability concern of pinched wires and broken wire connection at solder points. The construction is neat and well protected against the rigors of daily, heavy use. | | HIGH PERFORMANCE | | LOUD 700 mW AUDIO OUTPUT
Ideal for reception in noisy environments, the VX-900's high-powered audio is coupled to a large internal speaker, assuring solid copy throughout difficult crowd control, fire, or sporting-event operations. | | NOISE CANCELING MICROPHONE
Providing a significant reduction in transmitted background noise, the built-in Noise Canceling Microphone helps push your critical messages through, even in very noisy environments. | MIL-SPEC SPEAKER/MIC AVAILABLE
Built to survive under difficult field conditions, the optional MH-50A7A Speaker/Mic includes a Noise Canceling microphone design. |
| 12.5/25 kHz BANDWIDTH PROGRAMMABLE PER CHANNEL
The VX-900 may be programmed with Wide or Narrow operating bandwidths, channel by channel, to conform to your local channel environment. Ideal for multi-jurisdiction operations. | LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES PROVIDE EXTENDED OPERATING TIMES
The 1800 mAh Lithium-Ion Battery Pack typically provides 11 hours of operation, while the long life 2400 mAh Battery Pack yields up to 14 hours on the UHF Version. | OPTIONAL ALKALINE BATTERY CASE
For situations where recharging of battery packs is not available, the optional FBA-27 Alkaline Battery Pack allows the use of six "AA" Alkaline batteries to power the VX-900. | | VERSATILITY | 512 CHANNEL CAPACITY
(Managed in up to 20 Memory Groups) Huge 512-channel capacity may be partitioned into as many as 20 Memory Groups, with no limit on the number of channels in each Group. A single radio may therefore be programmed with channel sets for a number of different jurisdictions or organizations. | WIDE-BAND COVERAGE
Coverage beyond typical limits allows programming in "guard band" channel allocations, and ensures compatibility for programming in a wide variety of locations. | | SINGLE/DUAL PRIORITY SCAN MODES
Monitor one or two important channels on a "Priority" basis. Flexible Revert and Talk-Back functions ensure compatibility with existing user operating knowledge, thus minimizing training time in new installations. | | HIGH-SPEED SCAN
The lightning-fast scanning capability allows rapid coverage of the VX-900's huge memory bank. Nuisance channels may temporarily be deleted, and single-group and multiple-group scanning are available. | | PROGRAMMABLE SOFT KEYS (4- and 8-Key Models Available) AND 3-POSITION TOGGLE SWITCH
Customization of feature access is easily accomplished at the time of programming. Complete flexibility in assignment of features ensures compatibility with existing-system requirements. | | DTMF SIGNALING & DIALING FEATURES
The 16-Key versions of the VX-900 provide both manual and Speed Dial DTMF calling. All versions provide programmable PTT ANI for business or fleet applications. | | 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. | | USER-SELECTABLE TONES/CODES
Field programming of the CTCSS tones or DCS codes is available, allowing access to multiple systems. |
