VX-160
SERIES
MIL-STD 810 C/D/E
Built
to
meet
or
exceed
requirements of the U.S. MIL-STD 810
C/D/E
standards,
the
VX-160
designed to survive under difficult
operating conditions of shock, vibration,
and driving rain. Cost-performance
begins with durability, and the Mil-Spec
toughness of the VX-160 is your
guarantee of its design quality.
SUPER RUGGED CONSTRUCTION
Housed inside a high-impact case, the diecast chassis of the VX-160
provides a solid, rugged foundation for the VX-160 s circuitry. Built to
survive in the real world of factory, construction site, or fleet use, the
VX-160 will provide many years of reliable communications.
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 DECODE
The VX-160 includes a DTMF Automatic Number Identifier (ANI) circuit,
which will respond to an incoming ANI burst for selective paging of an
individual portable.
VERSATILE SCANNING FEATURES
The high-speed scanning capability of the VX-160 includes All-Channel
scanning, plus Dual Watch and Priority Channel capability. And with
Follow-Me
scanning, a designated channel may be watched during
scanning of other channels.
DUAL 2-TONE DECODE
This built in feature allows you to decode up to two, 2-tone pairs per
channel. These can be used for two individual pager calls, or one for
Individual and one for Group call.
BCLO, BTLO, AND TOT
To facilitate efficient channel management, the VX-160 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.

ARTS" (Auto Range Transponding System)
Included in the VX-160 is Vertex
Standard s
exclusive
feature, which can be critically
important
in
search-and-rescue
applications. ARTS" provides a
hand-shake
with other ARTS"-
equipped transceivers, and the
display indicates if an
Range
condition exists. The base
station can then alert the field unit to
move to a better location.
TX/RX BATTERY SAVER CIRCUIT
To maximize battery life, the VX-160 includes both transmit- and
receive-mode battery savers. On transmit, the portable will reduce
power when the incoming signal is very strong. On receive, the radio
will put itself into a pulsing
channel activity.
PC PROGRAMMING
The channel and feature configurations are easily programmed in
minutes by the dealer, using the optional CT-42A Programming Cable
and CE44 Programming Software.
RADIO TO RADIO CLONE FEATURE
For quick programming of VX-160 radios for fleet use, the
feature allows copying of all channel and other configuration data from
one VX-160 to another, using the optional CT-27 Cloning Cable.
500 mW AUDIO OUTPUT
Ideal for reception in noisy environments, the VX-160 s high—powered
audio is coupled to a large internal speaker, assuring solid copy
throughout difficult construction site or field operations.
