VX-800
SERIES
5 WATTS POWER OUTPUT (Selectable to 2.5, 1.0, 0.25 Watt)
The VX-800 is designed to produce up to five solid Watts of
power output, for extended communications range. For more
localized applications, the power output may be reduced to
2.5 Watts, 1 Watt, or 1/2 Watt, for enhanced battery life.
VERSATILITY
HIGH PERFORMANCE
SECURITY
EASY USER INTERFACE
Public safety officers demand and require ruggedness, reliability, and versatility, and
the Vertex Standard VX-800 excels in every respect. With its invertible Alphanumeric
display, super-long-life battery, and unmatched versatility in programming flexibility,
the VX-800 series is a public safety user’s ideal communications partner.
12.5/25 kHz BANDWIDTH PROGRAMMABLE BY CHANNEL
When programming radios for use in different jurisdictions,
the VX-800 portables may be set up, by channel, for use either
in 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz environments, with deviation and
bandwidth automatically set when this selection is made.
LONG LIFE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY (1600 mAh)
The FNB-V62LI Lithium-Ion Battery Pack, holding 1600 mAh of
capacity, is capable of providing up to 16 hours of operation
(VX-800V, Battery Saver on), even when using 5 Watts of
transmitter power (5-5-90 duty cycle). The FNB-V62LI is ideal for
long public-safety or surveillance operations.
200 CHANNEL CAPACITY
The huge 200-channel capacity may be partitioned into as
many as 10 Memory Groups, with no limit on the number of
channels in each Group. A single radio may therefore be
programmed with channels sets for a number of different
jurisdictions or organizations.
2 PROGRAMMABLE SOFT KEYS + 1 MULTI-POSITION
PROGRAMMABLE TOGGLE SWITCH
CTCSS / DCS 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 opening of squelch.
PC PROGRAMMING
The channel and feature configurations are easily programmed
in minutes by the dealer, using the optional CT-42A
Programming Cable and CE31 Programming Software.
PROGRAMMABLE/USER DEFINABLE SCAN MODES
Scanning of a single Memory Group or multiple Groups is
provided, along with Priority Scan, Follow-Me Scan, and
Follow-Me Dual Watch. The scan list may be locked in during
programming, or the user may be allowed to edit the scan list.
ADVANCED 8 CHARACTER INVERTIBLE ALPHANUMERIC DISPLAY
Providing indication of either the channel number or an
Alphanumeric Channel Label of up to 8 characters, the LCD
display also provides convenient operation function icons to
provide instant recognition of radio status.
BCLO, BTLO AND TOT FUNCTIONS
To facilitate efficient channel management, the VX-800 provides
Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO) and Busy Tone Lock-Out (BTLO)
features. What’s more, the transmitter’s Time-Out Timer (TOT)
function prevents a "stuck microphone" condition from jamming a
channel for an extended period of time.
RADIO TO RADIO CLONE FEATURE
For quick programming of VX-800 radios for an emergency
task force, the Clone feature allows copying of all channel and
configuration data from one VX-800 to another, using the
optional CT-72 Cloning Cable.
Customization of feature access is easily
accomplished at the time of programming.
Flexibility in assignment of features ensures
compatibility with existing-system requirements.
LOUD 500 mW AUDIO OUTPUT
Ideal for reception in noisy environments, the VX-800’s
high—powered audio is coupled to a large internal speaker,
assuring solid copy throughout difficult crowd control, fire, or
sporting-event operations.
KEY LOCK
A soft key may be assigned as a "Key Lock" control, to prevent
inadvertent frequency change or unwanted activation/de-
activation of functions. This is especially valuable in
surveillance operations, where the radio may be concealed
and subject to accidental pressure on its keys.
ERGONOMIC CONSTRUCTION
The carefully-engineered case construction features a gently
rounded shape for a solid grip, whether the radio is wet or dry.
Its over-sized front panel keys are easy to activate, even for
users with large fingers.
EMERGENCY FUNCTIONS
The VX-800 may be programmed to transmit
an emergency DTMF ANI burst, with or
without a "live microphone" engaged, to alert
the dispatcher to an emergency situation
requiring assistance to the officer.
ENCRYPTION
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.
EMBEDDED MESSAGE
At the time of programming, an I.D. number may be imbedded
in the radio’s memory, allowing identification of a stolen radio if
its serial number or other external identification tags have
been removed.
