VX-160 
VHF/UHF Portable Radios 

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 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 
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 ARTS™ 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 "Out of 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 "sleep" mode, periodically checking for 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 "Clone" 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.
