VX-2500E SERIES
The 32-channel VX-2500E Series mobile transceivers are ideal for business and public safety applications. With 25 Watts of
power output, an easy-to-read 8-character invertible alpha-numeric display, seven programmable keys, and a host of
signaling
Alpha-numeric Display (14 Segments x 8 Digits)
The 8-digit Alpha-numeric display allows quick channel identification by the
user, and is easy to read from a wide range of viewing angles.
CTCSS Encoder/Decoder
Subaudible (CTCSS) 50-tone Encoder and Decoder circuits are built into
every VX-2500E, ensuring compatibility with modern repeater requirements.
DCS Encoder/Decoder
For applications requiring Digital Coded Squelch signaling, full-featured DCS
Encoder and Decoder circuits provide leading-edge protection from false decoding.
5-TONE ENCODE/DECODE
The VX-2500E also has a 5 Tone Encoder and Decoder built-in. The radio
can respond to an individual or group call 5 tone sequence, and can
generate 5 Tone calling sequences for individual or group call facilities.
DTMF ANI Encoder
Automatic Number Identification (ANI) via an automatic DTMF Encoder is
also provided among the VX-2500E’s versatile signaling capabilities.
Versatile Scanning
A wide range of set-up options are available during configuration of the VX-2500E,
to ensure compatibility with the operating requirements of your system’s users.
Compander Included
For narrow-band channel applications, the built-in Audio Companding system
compresses the voice waveform during transmission, and expands it during
reception, allowing full-sounding audio despite the restricted transmission bandwidth.
Emergency Mode
When activated, the "Emergency" feature sends out the 5-Tone or DTMF
ANI, and cycles between transmit and receive, to serve as an emergency
beacon to alert the dispatcher as to the need for immediate aid.
ARTS™ Feature
The Auto-Range Transponder System, a Vertex Standard exclusive, alerts the
operator when another ARTS™-equipped station (for example, a hand-held unit)
moves out of communication range. You can then advise the other user to move
to a better location.

formats, the VX-2500E will get your message through under the toughest conditions.
TOT, BCLO, BTLO Features
Among the most useful protection features of the VX-2500E are the
transmitter Time-Out Timer (TOT), Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO), and
Busy Tone Lock-Out (BTLO), to ensure efficient network performance at all times.
Programmable Front Panel Keys
Custom assignment of important functions to front panel keys is available at
the time of programming, to provide the most ergonomically-friendly
transceiver available today.
Programmable Alert Tones
Among the useful set-up options for the VX-2500E is the capability to
customize the "Alert" tones generated from the transceiver, for ease of
recognition by the user.
Rugged, Die-cast Construction
The VX-2500E’s circuitry is housed within
a die-cast aluminum enclosure, which doubles
as a heat sink. This extraordinarily durable
construction ensures many years of reliable
operation, even in high-vibration installations.
MIL-Spec Rated (MIL 810 C/D/E)
The ultra-rugged design of the VX-2500E Series enables it to be fully
compliant with the exacting specifications of MIL 810 C, D, and E, pursuant
to the test procedures documented below.
