VXA-150

RUGGED AIR BAND TRANSCEIVER

Direct Frequency Entry via Back-Lit Keypad

Simply enter the desired channel frequency directly from the 16-button keypad, then press the PTT (Push to Talk) switch to transmit. There's no need to store frequencies into memory before you can operate on them.

NiCD Battery and Charger Included

Every VX-150 is supplied with the FNB-64 rechargable NiCD Battery and battery charger, providing greater convenience and lower long-term operating cost compared to radios requiring "AA" cells. And the extended-life FNB-V57 NiCD Battery provides 50% more capacity, for operation over long periods of time.

150 Memory Channels

50 Regular Memory channels and 100 "Book" Memory channels can store just about any commonly used operating frequencies. Convenient Alpha-Numeric display titling makes recalling information stored in the memory channels quick and easy.

One Touch Squelch Control

Breaking the squelch threshold has never been easier. Press the monitor (MON) button for 2 seconds and the Pro V's squelch remains opened for monitoring weak and distant signals. Pressing MON again restores squelch settings. This is TRUE one-handed operation. No need to fumble with thightly spaced concentric knobs.

Receive Battery Saver

This feature is designed to maximize the life of the supplied NiCD battery. When the Pro V is in the standby mode the battery saver de-energizes the transceiver's circuitry, waking it up at user-selected intervals to sample for radio activity. If no activity is detected the Pro V goes back into it's sleep mode. Current consumption is minimized while battery life is maximized. This feature is only found in Vertex/Standard airband transceivers.

NOAA Weather Channels (USA Version only)

The Pro V can receive all 10 NOAA weather broadcast frequencies. Automatic Active Weather Channel Locator (A Vertex/Standard Exclusive) automatically scans for active NOAA weather stations in your area when WX band is selected.

Menu Mode

The Pro V allows easy access to the Menu ("Set") mode. The "Set" mode is a straightforward and intuitive feature for changing the operating parameters of the Pro V. This allows easy user access to squelch settings, clearing memory information, scanning, scan lamp, keypad beep, battery saver settings, display/keypad backlighting, and priority channel check time.

3-Way Display Tilting

Only Vertex/Standard Airband transceivers offer you one0stroke access to three different methods of displaying memory channel information: Frequency, Channel Number, or Alpha-Numeric title.

Headset Adapter Included

The CT-60 headset adapter is a convenient way to operate the Pro V with your favorite aviation headset, intercom, and external push-to-talk switch. The internal Monitor feature will allow you to monitor your transmitted audio through your headset in noisy cockpit environments.
