PC PROGRAMMABLE (MICROSOFT WINDOWS) |
Vertex/Standard's VX-2500 is the reliable, durable choice for LTR® or conventional mode communications in a wide variety of applications. Built into an extremely rugged, die-cast aluminum chassis, the VX-2500 Series radios are the performance and durability standard in the land mobile industry.
|
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 |
Subaudible (CTCSS) 50-tone Encoder and Decoder circuits are built into every VX-2500 ensuring compatibility with modern repeater requirements.
|
DTMF ANI ENCODER |
Automatic Number Identification (ANI) via an automatic DTMF Encoder is also provided among the VX-2500's versatile signaling capabilities.
|
VERSATILE SCANNING |
A wide range of set-up options are available during configuration of the VX-2500 to ensure compatibility with the operating requirements of your system's users.
|
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.
|
PC PROGRAMMABLE |
All frequencies and configuration data may be programmed directly from a PC using the optional VPL-1 Programming kit and the CE47 Programming Software. (Microsoft Windows)
|
PROGRAMMABLE ALERT TONES |
Among the useful set-up options for the VX-2500 is the capability to customize the "Alert" tones generated from the transceiver for ease of recognition by the user.
|
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 serve 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 fulfills this requirement also.
|
ARTS™ FEATURE (CONVENTIONAL MODE) |
The Auto-Range Transponder System, a Vertex/Standard exclusive, alerts the operator when another ARTS™-equipped station (for example a handheld portable) moves out of communication range. You can then advise the other unit to move to a better location.
|
TOT, BCLO, BTLO FEATURES |
Among the most useful protection features of the VX-2500 are the transmitter Time-Out timer (TOT), Busy Channel Lockout (BCLO), and Busy Tone Lockout (BTLO), to insure efficient network performance at all times.
|
RUGGED DIE-CAST CONSTRUCTION |
The VX-2500'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 Vertex/Standard VX-2500 Series enables it to be fully compliant with the exacting specifications of MIL 810 C, D, and E, persuant to the test procedures documented below:
