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.

About this catalogue: Specifications are subject to change, in the interest of technical improvement, without notice or obligation. Some products or optional accessories may not be available in a 
particular country, or may be slightly different in your country. Because of printing process tolerances, the actual color hue or color density of product images shown in this catalog may be slightly 
different from that of the manufactured product. Performance measurements are per TIA/EIA standards, unless noted otherwise. Comparative performance and other statements are based on market

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

One Touch Squelch Control

Breaking the squelch threshold has never been 
easier. Press the monitor (MON) button for 
two 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 tightly spaced concentric knobs.

Receive Battery Saver

This feature is designed to maximize the life 
of the supplied Ni-Cd 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 its sleep mode. Current 
consumption is minimized while battery life 
is maximized. This feature is only found on 
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 Titling

Only Vertex Standard Airband transceivers 
offer you one-keystroke 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.
