Vertex Standard's VX-410 and VX-420 Series Rugged with Built-In Features

Vertex Standard announces the addition of two new VHF/UHF portables to its already impressive portfolio of VX Series radios.
CYPRESS, CA (PR WEB) April 29 2004 -- Vertex Standard announces the addition of two new VHF/UHF portables to its already impressive portfolio of VX series radios. “Our VX Series has proven itself to be not only exceptionally reliable but easy to use, regardless of the application. The addition of the VX-410 and the VX-420 gives our product line a distinct competitive advantage in not only standard features, but compact size as well,” states Scott Henderson, Vertex Standard’s Executive Vice President.

Both radios offer up to 5W RF output (selectable by channel), 32 channel capability with versatile, user-friendly scanning features, including Dual Watch, Priority, Group and Follow-Me. Also included in each model are built-in Voice Encryption and numerous over-the-air functions such as stun / kill / revive, which make it an ideal portable for demanding public safety applications.

In spite of their compact size and light weight, both the VX-410 and VX-420 series offer 500 mW audio output, insuring reception in noisy environments. Their rugged construction meets Mil Std 810 D / E / F and makes them well suited for tough industrial and commercial applications. This series will soon be available with an Intrinsically Safe option.

“We listened to our customers and provided an unmatched list of features including DTMF ANI, Over-the-air functions and Audio Companding per channel that they requested for more effective operation,” says Richard Galvan, Product Development Manager for the Land Mobile Division of Vertex Standard. “We also included Dual 2 Tone Encode and Decode as well as an optional Voice Storage Board. So, with either the VX-410 or the VX-420, the user has a 2 Tone pager in addition to a user-friendly and reliable portable, making it the ideal all-in-one communications device for first responders.”

While both radios offer two programmable side function buttons, the VX-420 provides the user additional flexibility and features with a full keypad that includes four more programmable function buttons on the front of the unit. It also has an 8-character, alphanumeric display that shows multiple radio status function icons. Customization of feature access is easily accomplished at the time of programming.
A full line of accessories complements these new portables, including a choice of rechargeable Ni-Cd battery packs, high-capacity Lithium-Ion battery packs, chargers (wall, desktop rapid and 6-unit multi), speaker microphone, earpiece microphone, VOX headset and choice of leather cases. The radios are compatible with all VX-160 and VX-180 Series accessories. As with all Vertex Standard land mobile products, the VX-410 and the VX-420 models are backed with a full 3-year warranty.
