FEATURES:

ALPHA-NUMERIC DISPLAY (14 SEGMENTS x 8 DIGITS)

The 8-digit Alpha-numeric display allows quick channel identification by the user, and is easy to read from a wide range of viewing angles.

CTCSS ENCODER/DECODER

Subaudable (CTCSS) 50-tone Encoder and Decoder circuits are built into every VX-3000, ensuring compatibility with modern repeater requirements.

DCS ENCODER/DECODER

For applications requiring Digital Coded Squelch signaling, full-featured DCS Encoder/Decoder circuits provide leading-edge protection from false decoding.

DUAL 2-TONE DECODING

For applications where a mobile may be receiving call from more than one dispatcher on a patticular channel, the VX-3200 includes a built-in Dual Two-Tone Decoder circuit.

DTMF ANI ENCODER

Automatic Number Identification (ANI) via an automatic DTMF Encoder is also provided among the VX-3200's versatile signaling capabilities.

VERSATILE SCANNING

A wide range of set up options are available during configuration of the VX-3200 to insure compatibility with the operating requirements of your systems users.

COMPANDER INCLUDED

For narrow-band channel applications, the built-in Audio Companding system compresses the voice waveform during transmission, and expands it during reception, allowing full-sounding audio despite the restricted transmission bandwidth.

EMERGENCY MODE

When activated, the "Emergency" feature sends out the DTMF ANI, and cycles between transmit and receive, to send as an emergency beacon to alert the dispatcher as to the need for immediate aid.

ENCRYPTION (OPTIONAL FVP-25 REQUIRED)

For applications requiring secure communications, the optional FVP-25 Paging/Encryption Unit provides scrambling and descrambling functions.

DTMF PAGING (OPTIONAL FVP-25 REQUIRED)

For dispatch or network operations where DTMF Paging is required, the optional FVP-25 Paging/Encryption fullfills this requirement as well.

ARTS™ FEATURE (CONVENTIONAL MODE)

The Auto-Range Transponder System, a Vertex Standard exclusive, alerts the operator when another ARTS™-equipped station (for example, a hand-held unit) moves out of communications range. You can then advise the other user to move to a better location.

TOT, BCLO, BTLO FEATURES

Among the most useful protection features of the VX-3200 are the transmitter Time-Out Timer (TOT), Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO), and Busy Tone Lock-Out (BTLO), to ensure efficent network performance at all times.

PROGRAMMABLE FRONT PANEL KEYS

Custom assignment of important functions to front panel keys is available at the time of programming, to provide the most ergonomically-friendly transceiver available today.

PROGRAMMABLE ALERT TONES

Among the useful set-up options for the VX-3200 is the capability to customize the "Alert" tones generated from the transceiver, for ease of recognition by the user.

RUGGED, DIE-CAST CONSTRUCTION

The VX-3200's circuitry is housed within a die-cast aluminum enclosure, which doubles as a heat sink. This extraordinarily durable construction ensures many years of reliable operation, even in high-vibration installations.

MIL-SPEC RATED (MIL 810 C/D/E)

The ultra-rugged design of the VX-3200 Series enables it to be fully compliant with the exacting specifications of MIL 810 C, D, and E, persuant to the Government test.
