DIE-CAST CHASSIS AND WEATHERPROOF CASE DESIGN

The VX-900s ruggedness begins with its one-piece die-cast aluminum chassis, which provides high strength and durability along with light weight. Surrounding the portables circuitry is a onepiece
high-impact case

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-900s high—powered audio is coupled to a large internal speaker, assuring solid copy throughout difficult crowd control, fire, or sporting-event operations.

SIXTEEN-POSITION ROTARY CHANNEL SELECTOR

The top panel is 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.
