Product Description

The VX160 is simple to use making it suitable for inexperienced users; turn it on, adjust the volume, press to talk and away you go. If you have more than one channel all you need to do is rotate the channel knob to the correct position first, it could not be simpler.

Overview

• MIL-STD-810C,D,E construction
• DTMF

Features:

MIL-STD 810 C/D/E
Built to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S. MIL-STD 810 C/D/E standards, the VX-160 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-160 is your guarantee or 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
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.

5-TONE SIGNALLING SYSTEM
The radio has built in capability to encode and decode 5,6 or 7 tone selective calling codes in 11 different tone formats. Features such as Stun/kill/revive and emergency modes are supported.

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.

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.

Key Benefits:

With licensed two-way radio:

• There are no call charges no matter how many calls you make!
• You get your own exclusive channel to avoid interference from other radio users
• Instant communication at the touch of a button
• Hand portables will give you typical ranges of 5-6Km, less in built-up areas but greater ranges are also possible*
• You may add a base station to more than double the range of a hand portable radio

* range is mainly dependant on terrain, for example one clients mobile radio system provides 3 miles range in one direction (due to hills) and 40 miles range in another. Careful equipment selection and system engineering will significantly improve your range, please ask us for advice.

Typical Applications (include but are not limited to):

Hotel & Hospitality
A PMR radio helps the medium to large establishment to improve communications, allowing you to respond faster to client’s requests and problems.

Garden Centres / Nurseries
Improve your customer services at the press of a button. Extended range for larger sites.

Visitor Attractions
Keep in touch with your staff at the push of a button. Respond to technical and administrative issues efficiently. Increased range and security when compared to PMR446 radios.

Retail
At the touch of a button, you can check prices, find out if an item is in stock and locate a manager for assistance. Using licensed radios ensures you do not get interference from the shop next door or Johnny with his new walkie-talkie toy.

Education
In today's active learning establishments, playground supervisors, teachers, coaches and other administrators can stay connected with instant push-of-a-button communications. Due to their increased range PMR radios are particularly suited to larger establishments.

Sport / Event Management / Swimming Pools
Suitable for smaller events including Motorsport. A PMR radio is an extremely cost effective and secure way to communicate.

Security
When an alarm signals, you don't have a moment to lose. PMR radios give you the up-to-the-minute and secure (using voice encryption equipped radios) communication you need to alert co-workers or request backup at the touch of a button.

Construction
A PMR radio is suited to larger sites that require a robust radio with a high volume output.

Manufacturing
A heavy duty radio makes it easier for manufacturing workers and management to communicate often significantly reducing “down time” and improving efficiency.

Agriculture
Ideal for heavy duty, high noise applications including automated packing shed, in field machinery etc. Extended range to cover larger sites or difficult terrain.

Local Government
Ideal for long range communications for managers on the road etc.
