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 with Priority Scan, Follow-Me Scan, and 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 Programming Cable and CE31 Programming Software.

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.

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

When programming radios for use in different jurisdictions, the VX-800 portables may be set up, by channel, for use either in 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz environments, with deviation and bandwidth automatically set when this selection is made.

LONG LIFE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY (1600 mAh)

The FNB-V62LI Lithium-Ion Battery Pack, holding 1600 mAh of capacity, is capable of providing up to 16 hours of operation (VX-800V, Battery Saver on), even when using 5 Watts of transmitter power (5-5-90 duty cycle). The FNB-V62LI is ideal for long public-safety or surveillance operations.

LOUD 500 mW AUDIO OUTPUT

Ideal for reception in noisy environments, the VX-800’s high—powered audio is coupled to a large internal speaker, assuring solid copy throughout difficult crowd control, fire, or sporting-event operations.

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.

EMERGENCY FUNCTIONS

The VX-800 may be programmed to transmit an emergency DTMF ANI burst, with or without a "live microphone" engaged, to alert the dispatcher to an emergency situation requiring assistance to the officer.

ENCRYPTION

The FVP-25 Encryption Unit provides security for your important public safety and private security communications, and it also includes a DTMF Paging function for selective calling.

EMBEDDED MESSAGE

At the time of programming, an I.D. number may be imbedded in the radio’s memory, allowing identification of a stolen radio if its serial number or other external identification tags have been removed.

MIL-STD 810 C/D/E

Built to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S. MILSTD 810 C/D/E standard, the VX-800 is 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-800 is your guarantee of its design quality.

Frequency Range: 134-160 MHz (A) 148-174 MHz (C), 400-430 MHz (AS1)

Memory Channels: 200 channels
