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-600 is designed to survive under difficult operating
conditions of shock, vibration, and driving rain.
WATER SHIELD
MICROPHONE CONNECTION
The multi-pin
accessory connector on the side of the VX-600, 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.
DIE-CAST CHASSIS AND WEATHERPROOF CASE DESIGN
The VX-600�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-600, 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-600�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-600 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-600.
VERSATILITY
48 CHANNEL CAPACITY (Managed in up to 3 Memory Groups)
Huge
48-channel capacity may be partitioned into as many as 3 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-600�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-600 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.
EASY USER INTERFACE
SIXTEEN-POSITION ROTARY CHANNEL SELECTOR
The
top panel�s rugged rotary switch may be used for channel selection, or for
selection of the desired Memory Group.
KEY LOCK
A
soft key may be assigned as a Key Lock control, to prevent inadvertent
frequency change or unwanted activation/de-activation of functions. This
is especially valuable in surveillance operations, where the radio may be
concealed and subject to accidental pressure on its keys.
ERGONOMIC CONSTRUCTION
The
carefully-engineered case construction features a gently rounded shape for
a solid grip, whether the radio is wet or dry. Its oversized front panel
keys are easy to activate, even for users with large fingers.
SECURITY
EMERGENCY FUNCTIONS
The
VX-600 may be programmed to transmit an emergency DTMF ENI burst, with or
without a live microphone engaged, to alert the dispatcher to an emergency
situation requiring assistance to the officer.
ENCRYPTION
The
FVP-25 Encryption Unit provides security for your important public safety
and private security communications, and it also includes a DTMF Paging
function for selective calling.
INTRINSICALLY SAFE VERSION AVAILABLE
Included in the VX-600 Intrinsically Safe version�s certification is
approval for use in the hazardous Hydrogen and Acetylene environments.
RADIO-TO-RADIO CLONE FEATURE
For
quick programming of VX-600 radios for an emergency task force, the Clone
feature allows copying of all channel and other configuration data from
one VX-600 to another, using the optional CT-72 Cloning Cable. |
Engineered
to make its advanced features easy to use, and providing the ruggedness
demanded by public safety users, the VX-600 utilizes a large-capacity
Lithium-Ion battery, which typically provides 14 hours of operating time
(VX-600U w/FNB-V69LI). With improved scan speeds, Emergency Alert, and
User Selectable Tones / Codes, 48 Channel Capacity, and a host of
easily-programmable customization features, the VX-600 is ideal for a wide
variety of public safety and commercial applications.
