VX-210A Series

RUGGED, LIGHTWEIGHT, AND AFFORDABLE PORTABLE RADIOS WITH UNMATCHED COST/PERFORMANCE AND VERSATILITY

LIGHT WEIGHT AND COMPACT SIZE

Weighing just 3/4 of a pound and measuring just 4.21" x 2.28" x 1.0" (WHD) the VX-210A is ideal for business, industry, and public safety applications where light weight and compact size are important.

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 operating of squelch.

DTMF ANI

A DTMF Automatic Number Identification string may be programmed into the VX-210A, providing the dispatcher with a multiple-digit confirmation of the transmitting portable's identity.

DUAL 2-TONE DECODE

For applications where a portable may be receiving calls from more than one dispatcher on a particular channel, the VX-210A includes a built-in Dual Two-Tone Decoder circuit.

ARTS™ (AUTO RANGE TRANSPONDING SYSTEM)

Included in the VX-210A is Vertex Standard's exclusive ARTS™ feature, which provides a "hand shake" with other ARTS™-equipped radios. An audible "Beep" advises if an "Out-of-Range" condition exists, so the dispatcher can instruct the portable's user to move to a better location.

POSITIVE LOCK CHANNEL SELECTOR

The channel selector of the VX-210A is a "Lift and Turn" knob, which virtually eliminates the possibility of accidental channel change.

BCLO, BTLO, AND TOT FUNCTIONS

To facilitate efficient channel management, the VX-210A provides Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO) and Busy Tone Lock0Out (BTLO) features. What's more, the transmitters 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 conserve battery capacity, both Transmit and Receive Battery Saver functions may be engaged on the VX-210A. On Receive, the radio is set to a "sleep" mode, in which it periodically checks for channel activity. On Transmit, the power level is reduced if the incoming (received) signal strength is very high, indicating that only short-distance communication is required.

VOICE INVERSION ENCRYPTION AVAILABLE

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.

SUPER RUGGED CONSTRUCTION

The VX-210A utilizes a high-impact plastic case, designed for years of use under difficult conditions. It's controls, switches, and antenna are all ruggedized to stand up to real-world operating environments.

MULTI-MODE SCAN

Maximum channel coverage and operating flexibility are provided by the multiple scanning modes. These include two-channel Dual Watch, Priority Channel Scanning, and "Follow-Me" Scanning.

PC PROGRAMMING

The channel and feature configurations are easily programmed in minutes by the dealer, using the optional CT-42A Programming Cable and CE45 Programming Software.

APPLICABLE MIL-STD

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-210A is designed to survive under difficult operating conditions of shock and vibration. Cost-performance begins with durability, and the MIL-SPEC toughness of the VX-210A is your guarantee of it's design quality.
