Page 3: Introduction
The VX-264 is full-featured Hand-Held Analog Transceiver designed for business communications in the VHF/UHF Land Mobile bands. This transceiver is designed for reliable business communications in a wide variety of applications with a wide range of operating capability provided by their leading-edge design, and allows up to 128-channel capacity within a maximum 8 groups. Each channel can be programmed with an 8-character Alpha-Numeric Tag. Important channel frequency data is stored in the flash memory, and is easily programmable by a Vertex Standard licensed dealers using a personal computer with Vertex Standard Programming equipment: FIF-12 USB Programming Interface, and CT-106 Connection cable with CE150 PC Programming Software. Or, once a single radio is programmed, cloning cable CT-27 can be used to program additional radios directly. This manual will describe the details of the many advanced features of the VX-264. After reading this manual, you may wish to consult with your Network Administrator regarding precise details of the configuration of this equipment for use in your application. Important.Notice.for.North.American.Users.Regarding.406.MHz.Guard.Band The U.S. Coast Guard and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration have requested the cooperation of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in preserving the integrity of the protected frequency range 406.0 to 406.1 MHz, which is reserved for use by distress beacons. Do not attempt to program this apparatus, under any circumstances, for operation in the frequency range 406.0 - 406.1 MHz if the apparatus is to be used in or near North America. Warning - Frequency band 406 - 406.1 MHz is reserved for use ONLY as a distress beacon by the US Coast Guard and NOAA. Under no circumstance should this frequency band be part of the pre programmed operating frequencies of this radio.
