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-180's
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
|
|
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 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. |
|
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 transmitter's 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-42A
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-180's
high-powered audio is coupled to a large internal speaker,
assuring solid copy throughout difficult construction site or
field operations. |
