About this brochure: We have made this brochure as comprehensive and factual as possible. We reserve the right, however, to make changes at any time in equipment, optional
accessories, specifications, model numbers, and availability. Precise frequency range may be different in some countries. Some accessories shown herein may not be available in
some countries. Some information may have been updated since the time of printing; please check with your Authorized
Vertex Standard
Dealer for complete details.
DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY VIA EASY-
TO-READ BACK-LIT KEYPAD
For quick access to operating
frequencies, simply enter the
frequency information directly
from the 16 button keypad, then
press the "Push To Talk" (PTT)
button to transmit. There's no need
to store frequencies in memory
before you can operate on them.
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
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
Pilot
'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
transceiver's battery. When the
Pilot
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
Pilot
goes back into its sleep mode. Current consumption is
minimized, thereby maximizing battery life. This feature
is only found on
Vertex Standard
Airband transceivers.
NOAA WEATHER CHANNELS (U.S.A. Only)
The
Pilot
can receive all 10 NOAA weather broadcast
frequencies. The 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
Pilot
allows easy access to the Menu ("Set") mode.
The "Set" mode is a straightforward and intuitive
feature for changing the operating parameters of the
Pilot
. This allows easy user access to squelch settings,
clearing memory information, scanning, scan lamp,
keypad beep, battery saver settings, display backlighting,
and priority channel check time.
3-WAY DISPLAY TITLINGAND BACK-LIT DISPLAY
Easy to use, versatile access to channel information is
critical to successful transceiver operation. 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
Pilot
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.
PC PROGRAMMABLE
The channel configurations can be easily re-programmed
in minutes using the optional PC Programming cable
(CT-42), software (CE41A) and your PC. As your
operating needs change, you can quickly re-program
your Pilot with the important frequency data you
need.

SPECIFICATIONS
VXA-210
RUGGED MIL-STD CONSTRUCTION AND
ULTRA COMPACT SIZE
The Pilot meets the demanding ruggedness requirements
of MIL-STD 810. The durable high impact housing
and die-cast chassis assure reliable performance
even under the most adverse operating conditions.
And Vertex Standard's exclusive rubber gasketing
system around the housing seams, keypad, knobs,
microphone jacks, and speaker grille enures that the
Vertex Standard
"Pilot" sets a new
standard for water
resistance among
airband transceivers
today, with its JIS-4
level of protection.

TEMPERATURE MEASURING FEATURE INCLUDED
The Pilot includes a temperature-sensing device,
which is used to provide a read out of the ambient
temperature. The temperature
sensor readout may be activated
even when the unit is turned off
.
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, ALTITUDE AND DENSITY
ALTITUDE MEASURING CAPABILITY (Option)
Adding the optional SU-1 sensor unit will activate
many useful features on the Pilot. With the SU-1
installed the Pilot will monitor barometric pressure
and altitude (not intended for primary navigation
purposes) and provide the current density altitude
calculations with a simple keystroke. There is also
an easy-to-follow calibration procedure to aid in the
accuracy of this feature. These parameters may also be
monitored while
the radio is
turned off.
