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 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-160s 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 DECODE
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.
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.
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 transmitters
Time-Out Timer (TOT) function prevents a stuck microphone condition from
jamming a channel for an extended period of time.
ARST (Auto
Range Transponding System)
Included in the
VX-160 is Vertex Standards 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-160s high�powered audio is coupled to a
large internal speaker, assuring solid copy throughout difficult
construction site or field operations. |
