TRUNKING OPERATION
When the radio is connected to a trunking mobile you wish to access the system from your
handheld radio, key the handheld briefly then
release the PTT key. The radio will attempt to
acquire a voice channel on the trunking system
by keying the mobile for 200 mS and monitoring the “on-air detect” line from the mobile. If
the VXR-1000 does not see the radio transmit at
all (system is busy), it will send a low tone to the
handheld to alert you that the system is busy.
The radio will automatically retry every 5 seconds and send a “busy” tone to the handheld
with each unsuccessful attempt, to indicate
progress of the call attempt. If unsuccessful after 30 seconds, the radio will transmit an “intercept” tone to alert the handheld that the call attempt failed.
The VXR-1000 has a fixed 3 minute time-out timer for base to handheld transmissions. If the
mobile COR is active for more than 3 minutes it
will send a error blip and cease transmission
until the mobile COR is inactive.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
When the user leaves the vehicle, they activate
their mobile radio via its front panel or a separate switch. When the mobile radio is receiving
a signal, the VXR-1000 will begin transmitting
on the hand-held’s receive frequency. The user
is able to hear and respond to all radio traffic,
including other hand-helds on the same frequency. The repeater jumpers and potentiometers are
custom-configured for use with the particular
mobile radio to which it will be connected. The
CE-22 software is used to program the repeater
for the required operating parameters.
When the VXR-1000 detects that the mobile is
transmitting, it will continue to monitor the “onair detect” line until the transmitter remains
keyed for at least 250 mS to determine if the radio is merely handshaking or retrying. After
successful acquisition of a voice channel, it will
continue to hold the mobile’s PTT active for 2
seconds and transmit a “go-ahead” blip to the
handheld. You may then key their handheld to
speak on the voice channel. If you do not key
up within the 2-second period, the radio will unkey the mobile and send the “intercept” tone, as
before.

Installations
The VXR-1000 must only be installed in vehicles having a negative ground electrical system.
Mount the transceiver where the Indicators, controls, and microphone are easily accessible, using the supplied mounting bracket. The VXR1000 may be installed in any position, but should
not be positioned near a heating vent nor anywhere where it might interfere with driving (either visually or mechanically).
VXR-1000 Installation
Choose a mounting location with sufficient
clearance for the VXR-1000, plus space for
ventilation around the cooling fan and above
and below the VXR-1000. Using the mounting bracket as a template for the mounting
holes, use a 4.8 mm (3/16") bit to drill the
mounting holes, and secure the mounting
bracket with the supplied screws, washers,
and nuts (see diagram).
Position the VXR-1000 in the bracket so that
the holes in the side are aligned with those in
the bracket, and bolt the VXR-1000 into place
using the supplied short screws and flat
washers.
VXR-1000 Connections
The VXR-1000 provides a convenient rear-panel Accessory Connector for easy connections to
your transceiver. The connections to this jack are
in accordance with a standard adopted by many
commercial radio. However, we recommend
that you verify the connections to any cable you
already own by comparison to the pictorial below.

Pin 7: Mobile COR Detect
Squelch control input (including the effect of a CTCSS
or DCS detected tone) or audio mute line, also known
as a “BUSY” line.
When this pin is at “high” level (mobile radio Squelch open),
the VXR-1000 is commanded into the T
RANSMIT
mode.
Squelch open: 3 V, Squelch closed: 0 V.
Squelch open: >3 V, Squelch closed: 0 V.
This input level can be switched between “Squelch
open” and “Squelch closed” when this pin is at “high”
level via CE-22.
Impedance: 1 MΩ.
The Squelch Threshold level can be changed by adjustment of VR1003.
Pin 8: Mobile Microphone Audio
Mobile microphone audio input. This is the same audio which is being sent to the mobile radio’s Mic Amp
circuit (i.e. the microphone’s audio is “split” between
the mobile radio and the VXR-1000)
Input impedance: 100 kΩ
The input level to the mobile transceiver can be
changed via CE-22 (range) and VR1001 (value).
CE-22 EXT MIC level “HIGH”: –18 dBm ~ 0 dBm
CE-22 EXT MIC level “LOW”: –44 dBm ~ –18 dBm
Pin 9: Mobile TX detect/Mobile Microphone PTT
Mobile Tx/Rx control input.
This input function can be switched between “Mobile MIC
PTT” input and “Mobile Tx Detect” line input via CE-22.
This input level can be switched between “Tx” and
“Rx” when this pin is at “high” level via CE-22.
Input impedance: 10 kΩ.
Note:, When the VXR-1000 is used in a Trunking system, the “Mobile TX Detect” input signal must be received from the mobile transceiver when connected to
the Trunking system (the VXR-1000 checks this pin’s
level to confirm successful connection to the trunking
system). When this pin is at “high” level (>3 V), the
VXR-1000 is commanded into the TRANSMIT mode.
When a successful “handshake” occurs with the Trunking system, this line goes “low” and the VXR-1000 is
released into the RECEIVE mode.

5-1: VXR-1000 Deviation Setting
On the connected mobile transceiver, receive a signal from an external signal source
with 1 kHz modulation frequency and deviation level of ±3.0 kHz (±1.5 kHz for the
“Narrow” mode).
This signal, when passed from the connected mobile transceiver to the VXR-1000,
should produced a transmitted signal from
the VXR-1000 with 1 kHz deviation at not
less than ±3.0 kHz (±1.5 kHz for the “Narrow” mode).
If the deviation level from the VXR-1000 is
not correct, adjust VR1002 (inside the VXR-
1000) for an output deviation of ±3.0 kHz
(±1.5 kHz in the “Narrow” mode).
5-2: VXR-1000 Receiver Output Level Setting
When the VXR-1000 receives a signal from
an external signal source (on the uplink frequency used by the portable transceiver)
modulated at 1 kHz at a level of ±3.0 kHz
(±1.5 kHz in the “Narrow” mode”), the output passed to the connected mobile transceiver should produce a transmitted output
signal from the mobile at a level of ±3.0 kHz
(±1.5 kHz in the “Narrow” mode”).
If the output level to the mobile does not
produce correct deviation from the mobile,
adjust VR1007 (inside the VXR-1000) so that
the transmitted output from the mobile is
modulated at a level of ±3.0 kHz (±1.5 kHz
in the “Narrow” mode”).
6. Trunking System configuration
All trunking parameters depend on the configuration of the individual trunking system
in which the connected mobile transceiver
is used. Please consult the CE22 programming instructions, and the separate “VX1000R Trunking Interface Manual,” for information about the software and other settings for the VXR-1000 when integrated into
a trunking environment.
7. Miscellaneous
In order to improve the audio muting performance of the VX-3000, a minor circuit
change was adopted from Production Lot
#03 (VX-3000L/U) and 04 (VX-3000V), and
this change was reflected in CE-19 software
version 1.16. This change affects the connection point for the Squelch (Mobile COR Detect) line, and the connection point is identified as “AF MUTE• in the various documentation for the VX-3000.
The configuration version can be identified
by looking for the presence of a jumper connection at jumper pad JP1002 in the VX3000U, or JP1016 in the VX-3000L. The connections for the Mobile COR Detect line
should be made as follows:

If JP1002 is not jumpered, connect this
line to Pin 8 of Q1043.
If JP1002 is jumpered, connect the
Mobile COR Detect line to JP1002.
VX-3000L
If JP1016 is not jumpered, connect this

3. VXR-1000 CONFIGURATION
For operation in a VX-Trunk II environment,
note the following setup tips regarding the
VXR-1000 (set via the CE-22 software):
The VXR-1000's "Pri Timer" option must be
set to a non-zero value by CE-22).
In CE-22, set the TRUNKING mode to OFF (for
VX-Trunk II only; for other Trunking systems
like LTR, this parameter must be set to ON).
Set PTT1 to HIGH.
Other parameters such as Master/Slave and
Sub_Audio may be set via CE-22 per the customer's operating requirements.

4. VX-TRUNK SYSTEM OPERATING
EXAMPLE
4-1: Making a Call from the Portable
1. Press the portable's PTT key for longer than
the "Sampling Time" of the VXR-1000, so as
to ensure that the VXR-1000 receives the portable's signal, then press "3 *" while transmitting to connect to the VX-Trunk II system.
2. When the "3 *" is completed, immediately release the portable's PTT key, so as to return
the portable to the receive mode.
3. If the VX-Trunk system receives the connection command, a double "beep" will be heard
from the portable's speaker.
4. Press the portable's PTT key for longer than
the "Sampling Time" of the VXR-1000, so as
to ensure that the VXR-1000 receives the portable's signal, and enter the other unit's 5-digit
subscriber number via the portable's DTMF
pad. Now release the portable's PTT key to
return the portable to the receive mode.
5. When the subscriber number is successfully
received by the VX-Trunk II system, and a
connection thereby initiated, the VX-Trunk II
system will respond, and a double "beep" will
be heard from the speaker of the portable.
4-2: Receiving a Call at the Portable
1. When the mobile connected to the VXR-1000
receives a connection request from the VXTrunk II system, it relays a "connection tone"
to the portable. When this happens, press the
PTT key on the portable.
2. Hold in the PTT key on the portable longer
than the "Sampling Time" programmed for
the VXR-1000, then press the DTMF "*" key.
After pressing the "*" key, release the PTT key
on the portable.
3. When the VX-Trunk II system receives the "*"
response from the portable, it will respond,
and a double "beep" will be heard from the
speaker of the portable.
4-3: Terminating a Call from the Portable
1. Press the portable's PTT key.
2. Hold the portable's PTT key for longer than the
"Sampling Time" of the VXR-1000, then press
the "#" key. The call will now be terminated, and
you may release the portable's PTT key.
VXR-1000 Trunking Interface Manual
5. NOTES RE TRUNKING OPERATION
5-1:
The VX-Trunk II system operates in a full duplex mode.
In this environment, while a call is in progress,
the connected mobile passes the received audio through to the VXR-1000 for re-transmission to the portable. In order for the portable
to be able to "capture" the VXR-1000 to make
a transmission back to the other party, the
VXR-1000 must be set, via the CE-22 software,
for a "Priority Timer" setting (Pri Timer) which
is not zero. A very short time will allow quick
interruption, but the incoming message from
the VXR-1000 to the portable may sound
"choppy" due to the frequent interrupts.
When the portable transmits longer than the
"Priority Timer" setting, the VXR-1000 will interrupt its transmission, and the VXR-1000
will instantly switch to the "receive" mode on
the portable's transmitting frequency.
5-2: VXR-1000 Local Microphone
In order to facilitate the above sampling feature, it is not possible to use a "Local" mic (a
DTMF microphone attached to the VXR-1000)
for access to the VX-Trunk II system.

CE-22 Program Software
The Vertex CE-22 program is a software package which controls the VXR-1000's "Clone Edit" feature.
This manual outlines the installation and use of the CE-22 software when used with the VXR-1000.
1. CE-22 Installation
and Operating Modes
The Vertex CE-22 program is an integrated
software package designed to work with
IBM PC, XT, AT, or compatible computers.
In order for CE-22 to run properly, your
computer must run DOS v3.0 (or a later version).
1-1: CE-22 Installation
There is no installation software included
with your distribution diskette.
Use standard DOS procedures to install the
software on your hard drive.
For example, let us create a directory named
"Vertex" into which we shall install the CE22 software. First, make a copy of the distribution diskette, then use the archive copy
for the installation from (floppy) Drive A:
c:\ mkdir vertex [ENTER]
c:\ cd\vertex [ENTER]
c:\vertex copy a:*.* [ENTER]
The files on the archive floppy disk will now
be copied to your hard drive into the new
"vertex" directory.
1-2: Starting CE-22
Before starting the CE-22 program, connect
the VPL-1 Cloning Cable between your
computer's COM port and the VXR-1000's
MIC jack.
Connecting the VPL-1 cable automatically
initiates the "CLONE" (programming)
mode, and the PWR LED will blink while
the CLONE mode is active.
If your computer has more than one COM
port, you may select the COM port to be
used via the "Common Data" window (accessed by pressing F2 after CE-22 is started). Either COM1 or COM2 may be utilized.
The CE-22 program will now start. After five
seconds in an initial Program Identification
screen, the software will automatically
switch to the main Channel Editing Screen.
1-3: Startup Options
Two mode options for CE-22 are available.
The standard ce22 command allows all normally-required channel data entry parameters to be entered and/or edited. Additionally, the COM port line in the "Common
Data" window may also be changed. However, other "Common Data" parameters cannot be changed, although they are visible in
the window.
The alternative ce22 /p option allows editing of the other parameters in the "Common
Data" window. While changes to these parameters are not normally required, major
system changes may necessitate modification of one or more "Common Data" items.
If this is the case, type ce22 /p [ENTER] instead of (only) ce22 [ENTER] when starting
the program.
2. Sending/Downloading Data
from the VXR-1000
2-1: Reading Data from VXR-1000
When you start up CE-22, it is often useful to
download the current channel information
from the VXR-1000 for archive purposes.
To do this, press F5. The current data will
be read by the computer, and the data will
appear on the screen. If you wish to save
this data to disk, press F4 and assign a file
name into which the archive data will be
saved.
2-2: Loading Data to VXR-1000
When all channel data has been successfully set up, press F6 to send the channel data
to the VXR-1000.
To start CE-22, be sure your computer
screen is displaying the DOS prompt. The
procedure thereafter is: c:\ ce22 [ENTER]
14
2-3: Saving Data to Disk
Channel programming data may be saved
to your computer's hard drive, or to a flop-
CE-22 Program Software
py diskette, by use of the F4 command. You
will be prompted to define a file name to be
used. Standard DOS file name specifications
should be used (e.g. no more than eight
characters in the file name).
If you wish to create a separate sub-directory (so as to store files for different customers in different sub-directories, for example),
press [Tab], then press [F3], to activate the
[Mk Dir] (Make Directory) function. You can
then type in the name you wish to use for
this sub-directory, then continue with the
file storage process.
2-4: Printing Hard Copy
To print a copy of the currently-displayed
channel data file, press [F7] when all programming steps have been completed. This
allows you to attach a copy of the programming information to the programming work
order, for the convenience of the customer.
3. Programming Navigation/
Use of SPACE Key
When CE-22 is initially started with a new
VXR-1000, only CHANNEL 1 will be showing.
Use the UP and DOWN keys to navigate to
different channel numbers. Use the LEFT
and RIGHT keys to navigate between the
various columns of a particular channel programming line. Beginning in Section 4 of this
manual, we will only discuss a single line
of channel programming data, as each line
of channel programming data is identical
(except for the fact that CHANNEL 1's data
cannot be hidden).
3-1: Hiding/Un-hiding Channel Data using
SPACE Bar
The SPACE bar is used in many programming steps to activate or de-activate a particular function.
If the cursor is on the channel number column, however, pressing the SPACE bar will
toggle between hiding of that channel number's data and re-activating that channel
number's data. CHANNEL 1's data, however, cannot be hidden.
A channel number on which data has been
hidden will display "-- --" in place of the field
entries. On the VXR-1000, if you select a
"hidden" channel, three indicators will blink
to alert you to this fact.
If you make a change to the programming
of a "hidden" channel at a later time, the
channel will automatically be re-activated
(removed from "hidden" status). You will
need to return to the Rx Freq field in order
to re-hide it.
3-2: Primary Use for SPACE Bar
In many programming steps, such as CTCSS or DCS tone/code entry, an initial press
of the SPACE bar will activate the parameter (turn it on) or de-activate the parameter
(turn it off). In each such step, you will be
prompted in the upper-right-hand window
as to additional steps to be taken to secure
the final value for the parameter you are
currently setting.
In programming steps where a numerical
value is required, press the [Space] bar to
increase the value, or [Back Space] to decrease the value.
4. Channel Frequency Programming
4-1: Rx Freq.
(Edit Receive (or Simplex) Frequency)
Use the 0 - 9 keys to enter the desired channel frequency directly, and press [ENTER].
The frequency entered will be adjusted automatically if it does not conform to the
"CHANNEL STEP" parameter, and will be
adjusted to the nearest "valid" step; the frequency will also appear in the Tx Freq. field
(next step) automatically, to simplify entry
if the current channel is to be used on Simplex. You do not need to enter all eight digits of the frequency; empty digits to the right
will be set to "0" when you press [ENTER].
Pressing [.] ("period") after several digits
forces those digits to be "MHz" digits. If you
press [.] before entering any digits, only the
"kHz" digits will be changed.
Pressing only the SPACE bar, without entering any frequency digits, toggles the data
for the entire channel between "hidden" and
