The
EVX-5400
is a full-featured Digital/Analog transceiver designed for flexible
mobile and base station business communications in the VHF/UHF Land Mobile
bands. This transceiver is designed for reliable business communications in a wide
variety of applications for a wide range of operating capabilities.
The
EVX-5400
operates using the TDMA protocol for spectrum and power ef-
ficiency resulting in lower total equipment cost compared to FDMA. Digital
eliminates noise and static from voice transmit to deliver only the intended voice
message crisply and clearly.
EVX-5400
features the AMBE+2™ vocoder for en-
hanced voice quality.
This transceiver allows up to 512-channel capacity and 32 groups which can each
be programmed with an 8-character Alpha-Numeric Tag. Important channel fre-
quency data is stored in the flash memory, and is easily programmable by a Vertex
Standard licensed dealer using a personal computer with Vertex Standard Program-
ming equipment:
FIF-12
USB Programming Interface,
CT-104A
(or
CT-171
)
Connection Cable with

Software. Or, once a single radio is programmed,
cloning cable
CT-4
can be used to program additional radios directly.
