Actual Size

VX-210A SERIES

LIGHT WEIGHT AND COMPACT SIZE

Weighing just 3/4 of a pound and measuring just 4.21" x 2.28" x 1.0"
(WHD) the VX-210A is ideal for business, industry, and public safety
applications where light weight and compact size are important.

CTCSS / DCS ENCODE + 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.

DTMF ANI

A DTMF Automatic Number Identification string may be programmed
into the VX-210A, providing the dispatcher with a multiple-digit
confirmation of the transmitting portable’s identity.

DUAL 2-TONE DECODE

For applications where a portable may be receiving calls from more
than one dispatcher on a particular channel, the VX-210A includes a
built-in Dual Two-Tone Decoder circuit.

ARTSTM (Auto Range Transponding System)

Included in the VX-210A is Vertex
Standard’s exclusive ARTSTM feature,
which provides a "hand-shake" with
other ARTSTM-equipped radios. An
audible "Beep" advises if an "Out of
Range" condition exists, so the
dispatcher can instruct the portable
user to move to a better location.

POSITIVE LOCK CHANNEL SELECTOR

The channel selector of the VX-210A is a "Lift and Turn" knob, which
virtually eliminates the possibility of accidental channel change.

BCLO, BTLO, AND TOT FUNCTIONS

To facilitate efficient channel management, the VX-210A 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.

TX/RX BATTERY SAVER CIRCUIT

To conserve battery capacity, both Transmit and Receive Battery Saver
functions may be engaged on the VX-210A. On Receive, the radio is set to
a "sleep" mode, in which it periodically checks for channel activity. On
Transmit, the power level is reduced if the incoming (received) signal strength
is very high, indicating that only short-distance communication is required.

Accessories & Options

VOICE INVERSION ENCRYPTION AVAILABLE

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.

SUPER RUGGED CONSTRUCTION

The VX-210A utilizes a high-impact plastic case, designed for years of
use under difficult conditions. Its controls, switches, and antenna are all
ruggedized to stand up to real-world operating environments.

MULTI-MODE SCAN

Maximum channel coverage and operating flexibility are provided by the
multiple Scanning modes. These include two-channel Dual Watch,

Priority Channel Scanning, and "Follow-Me" Scanning.

PC PROGRAMMING

The channel and feature configurations are easily programmed in
minutes by the dealer, using the optional CT-42A Programming Cable

and CE45 Programming Software.

Applicable MIL-STD

MIL-STD 810 C/D/E

Built to meet or exceed the requirements
of the U.S. MIL-STD 810 C/D/E standard,
the VX-210A is designed to survive
under difficult operating conditions of
shock and vibration. Cost-performance
begins with durability, and the Mil-Spec
toughness of the VX-210A is your
guarantee of its design quality.
