VX-900 
VHF/UHF Portable Radios

Engineered to make its advanced features easy to use, and providing the ruggedness demanded by public safety users, the VX-900 utilizes a large-capacity Lithium-Ion battery, which typically provides 14 hours of operating time (VX-900U w/FNB-V69LI). With improved scan speeds, Emergency Alert, and Invertible 8-Character LCD Display, User Selectable Tones / Codes, 512 Channel Capacity, and a host of easily-programmable customization features, the VX-900 is ideal for a wide variety of public safety and commercial applications.

The VX-900 gives you the reliability and dependability you require, built to meet the punishing test procedures of MIL-STD 810 C, D, & E, as well as the highest-level Intrinsically Safe rating. With a Weather Sealed mic connector, built-in Noise Canceling Microphone, and a loud 700 mW audio output stage, this very capable and rugged package is ready to serve your communications needs.

DURABLE CONSTRUCTION
MIL-SPEC CONSTRUCTION 
Built to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S. MIL-STD 810 C/D/E standards, the VX-900 is designed to survive under difficult operating conditions of shock, vibration, and driving rain. 
DIE-CAST CHASSIS AND WEATHERPROOF CASE DESIGN 
The VX-900's ruggedness begins with its one-piece die-cast aluminum chassis, which provides high strength and durability along with light weight. Surrounding the portable's circuitry is a one-piece high-impact case, sealed against water ingress by a robust O-ring. 
WATER SHIELD MICROPHONE CONNECTION
The multi-pin accessory connector on the side of the VX-900, sealed for protection against weather, provides a convenient connection point for the MH-50A7A Speaker/Microphone or other accessories. Its gold-plated contacts ensure many years of reliable service. 
NON-WIRE MAIN BOARD CONSTRUCTION 
Advanced non-wire construction improves reliability over the life of the radio. Non-wire construction eliminates the durability concern of pinched wires and broken wire connection at solder points. The construction is neat and well protected against the rigors of daily, heavy use. 
HIGH PERFORMANCE
LOUD 700 mW AUDIO OUTPUT
Ideal for reception in noisy environments, the VX-900's high-powered audio is coupled to a large internal speaker, assuring solid copy throughout difficult crowd control, fire, or sporting-event operations.
NOISE CANCELING MICROPHONE 
Providing a significant reduction in transmitted background noise, the built-in Noise Canceling Microphone helps push your critical messages through, even in very noisy environments. 
MIL-SPEC SPEAKER/MIC AVAILABLE 
Built to survive under difficult field conditions, the optional MH-50A7A Speaker/Mic includes a Noise Canceling microphone design. 
12.5/25 kHz BANDWIDTH PROGRAMMABLE PER CHANNEL
The VX-900 may be programmed with Wide or Narrow operating bandwidths, channel by channel, to conform to your local channel environment. Ideal for multi-jurisdiction operations. 
LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES PROVIDE EXTENDED
OPERATING TIMES 
The 1800 mAh Lithium-Ion Battery Pack typically provides 11 hours of operation, while the long life 2400 mAh Battery Pack yields up to 14 hours on the UHF Version.
OPTIONAL ALKALINE BATTERY CASE 
For situations where recharging of battery packs is not available, the optional FBA-27 Alkaline Battery Pack allows the use of six "AA" Alkaline batteries to power the VX-900. 
VERSATILITY
512 CHANNEL CAPACITY
(Managed in up to 20 Memory Groups) Huge 512-channel capacity may be partitioned into as many as 20 Memory Groups, with no limit on the number of channels in each Group. A single radio may therefore be programmed with channel sets for a number of different jurisdictions or organizations. 
WIDE-BAND COVERAGE 
Coverage beyond typical limits allows programming in "guard band" channel allocations, and ensures compatibility for programming in a wide variety of locations. 
SINGLE/DUAL PRIORITY SCAN MODES
Monitor one or two important channels on a "Priority" basis. Flexible Revert and Talk-Back functions ensure compatibility with existing user operating knowledge, thus minimizing training time in new installations.
HIGH-SPEED SCAN 
The lightning-fast scanning capability allows rapid coverage of the VX-900's huge memory bank. Nuisance channels may temporarily be deleted, and single-group and multiple-group scanning are available. 
PROGRAMMABLE SOFT KEYS (4- and 8-Key Models Available) AND 3-POSITION TOGGLE SWITCH 
Customization of feature access is easily accomplished at the time of programming. Complete flexibility in assignment of features ensures compatibility with existing-system requirements. 
DTMF SIGNALING & DIALING FEATURES 
The 16-Key versions of the VX-900 provide both manual and Speed Dial DTMF calling. All versions provide programmable PTT ANI for business or fleet applications. 
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.
USER-SELECTABLE TONES/CODES
Field programming of the CTCSS tones or DCS codes is available, allowing access to multiple systems. 

 
 
EASY USER INTERFACE
8-CHARACTER ALPHANUMERIC, INVERTIBLE LCD DISPLAY
Providing indication of either the channel number or an Alphanumeric Channel Label of up to 8 characters, the LCD display may be inverted when the radio is worn on the body. Convenient operation function icons provide instant recognition of radio status. And the display is canted forward 15°K from horizontal to ensure easy visibility over a wide range of viewing angles, especially from the front. 
SIXTEEN-POSITION ROTARY CHANNEL SELECTOR
The top panel's rugged rotary switch may be used for channel selection, or for selection of the desired Memory Group. 
KEY LOCK
A soft key may be assigned as a "Key Lock" control, to prevent inadvertent frequency change or unwanted activation/de-activation 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. 
SECURITY
EMERGENCY FUNCTIONS 
The VX-900 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. 
INTRINSICALLY SAFE VERSION AVAILABLE 
Included in the VX-900 Intrinsically Safe version's certification is approval for use in the hazardous Hydrogen and Acetylene environments. 
RADIO-TO-RADIO CLONE FEATURE 
For quick programming of VX-900 radios for an emergency task force, the "Clone" feature allows copying of all channel and other configuration data from one VX-900 to another, using the optional CT-72 Cloning Cable.
