SERIES

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.

VERSATILITY

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

Customization of feature access is easily
accomplished at the time of programming.
Flexibility in assignment of features ensures
compatibility with existing-system requirements.

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.

PROGRAMMABLE/USER DEFINABLE SCAN MODES

Scanning of a single Memory Group or multiple Groups is
provided, along
Follow-Me Dual Watch. The scan list may be locked in during
programming, or the user may be allowed to edit the scan list.

PC PROGRAMMING

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

with Priority Scan, Follow-Me Scan, and

Cable and CE31 Programming Software.

EASY USER INTERFACE

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.

KEY LOCK

A soft key may be assigned as a "Key Lock" control, to prevent
inadvertent frequency change or unwanted activation/de­activation 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.

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.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

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.

12.5/25 kHz BANDWIDTH PROGRAMMABLE BY CHANNEL

SECURITY

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.
