VX-600 Series

Engineered to make it's 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.

The VX-600 gives you the reliability and dependability you require, built to meet the punishing test procedures of MIL-STD 810 C, D, & E, as well as the highest-level Intrinsically Safe rating. With a Weather Sealed microphone connector, built-in Noise Canceling Microphone, and a loud 700 mW audio output stage, this very capable and rugged package is ready to serve your communications needs.

FEATURES

DURABLE 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.

The VX-600's ruggedness begins with it's one-piece die-cast aluminum chassis, which provides high strength and durability along with light weight. Surrounding the portables circuitry is a one-piece nigh-impact case, sealed against water ingress by a robust O-ring.

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-50A&A Speaker/Microphone or other accessories. It's gold-plated contacts ensure many years of reliable service.

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

        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.

        Providing a significant reduction in transmitted background noise, the built-in Noise Canceling Microphone helps push your critical messages through, even in noisy environments.

        Built to survive under difficult field conditions, the optional MH-50A&A Speaker/Microphone includes a Noise canceling microphone design.

        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.

        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.

        For situations where recharging of battery packs is not available, the optional FBA-27 Alkaline Battery Pack allows the use of s "AA" Alkaline batteries to power the VX-600.

VERSATILITY

        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.

        Coverage beyond typical limits allows programming in "guard band" channel allocations, and ensures compatibility for programming in a wide variety of locations.

        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.

        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.

        Customization of feature access is easily accomplished at the time of programming. Complete flexibility is assignment of features ensures compatibility with existing-system requirements.

        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.

        High-performance Encoder/Decoder circuits for both CTCSS and Digital Code Squelch are provided, for access to tone/code controlled systems.

EASY USER INTERFACE

        The top panel's rugged rotary switch may be used for channel selection or for selection of the desired memory group.

        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 it's keys.

        The carefully-engineered case construction features a gently rounded shape for a solid grip, whether the radio is wet or dry. It's over-sized front panel keys are easy to activate, even for users with large fingers.

SECURITY

The VX-600 may be programmed to transmit on an emergency DTMF ANI burst, with or without a "live microphone" engaged, to alert the dispatcher to an emergency situation requiring assistance to the officer.

The FVP25 Encryption Unit provides security for your important public safety and private security communications, and it also includes a DTMF Paging function for selective calling.

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.

        5 Watts Power Output, (Selectable to 2.5, 1.0, 0.25 Watts), Talk Around, BCLO, BTLO, TOT functions, & Programmable Minimum Volume.
