MIL-STD 810 C/D/E
Built to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S. MIL-STD 810 C/D/E standard. 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 of its design quality.

SUPER RUGGED CONSTRUCTION
Housed inside a high-impact case, the diecast chassis of the VX-180 provides a solid, rugged foundation for the VX-180s circuitry. Built to survive in the real world of factory, construction site, or fleet use, the VX-180 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 DECODE
The VX-180 includes a DTMF Automatic Number Identifier (ANI) circuit, which will respond to an incoming ANI burst for selective paging of an individual portable.

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-180 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 the VX-180 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.

BCLO, BTLO, AND TOT
To facilitate efficient channel management, the VX-180 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.

TX/RX BATTERY SAVER CIRCUIT
To maximize battery life, the VX-180 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- 2A Programming Cable and CE44 Programming Software.

RADIO TO RADIO CLONE FEATURE
For quick programming of VX-180 radios for fleet use, the Clone feature allows copying of all channel and other configuration data from one VX-180 to another, using the optional CT-27 Cloning Cable.

500 mW AUDIO OUTPUT
Ideal for reception in noisy environments, the VX-180s high�powered audio is coupled to a large internal speaker, assuring solid copy throughout difficult construction site or field operations.
