+Durable Construction

Rugged, Submersible Design
The VX-920 Series portables are housed in an ultra-rugged, impact-resistant case that is designed to exceed U.S. MIL-STD 810C/D/E/F standards for shock, vibration, and driving rain; it also meets international waterproofing standard IP55 (water jets) and IP57 (submersion in water to a depth of 1 m for up to 30 minutes).


Submersible External Speaker/Microphone MH-66 Series (optional)
When operating in an emergency situation where immersion of the radio and/or its accessories could occur, the optional MH-66 Series Speaker/Microphone is rated to the same submersibility specifications as the portable itself, ensuring that your essential communications won't be interrupted if the microphone gets dropped into the water

+High Performance

Power Output: 5 Watts
The VX-920 Series provides up to five solid Watts of transmitter power, for extended communications range. For more localized applications, the power output may be reduced to 2.5 Watts, 1 Watt, or 1/4 Watt, for enhanced battery life.


Wide/Narrow (12.5/20/25 kHz) Programmable per Channel
When programming radios for use in different jurisdictions, the VX-920 Series portables may be set up, channel by channel, for use in 12.5 kHz, 20 kHz, or 25 kHz channel spacing environments. Deviation and bandwidth are automatically set according to the configuration you choose.


Built-in 5-Tone Signaling
For advanced network or fleet operations, a 5-Tone Encoder-Decoder circuit is included in the VX-920 Series. An expensive option on many competing brands, this included feature enhances operation without impacting your budget.


Loud 700 mW Audio Output
Ideal for reception in noisy environments, high-powered audio of the VX-920 Series is coupled to a large internal speaker, assuring solid copy throughout difficult crowd control, fire, or sporting-event operations.


Clear Voice (Improves TX Audio in Noisy Environments)
The unique Clear Voice feature provides a specialized form of audio processing that helps the user's voice stand out more clearly when he or she is operating in a very noisy environment.


Speed Dial (16-key Version only)
An easy-to-use DTMF Speed Dialer feature is included in the VX-929, for specialized selective calling, telephone interconnect, or other applications.


Voice Storage (optional DVS-5 required)
The optional DVS-5 Digital Voice Storage Unit allows you to store and play back up to 120 seconds of incoming received audio, so you can archive an important incoming message.

+ Easy User Interface

7-Color LED for Incoming Call Alert
The front panel of the VX-920 Series includes an
ultra-bright LED that can display up to seven different
colors, with a variable flash pattern, to alert the
operator when a 2-Tone or 5-Tone call has come
in, and during Emergency mode operation

Top

+Security

BCLO/BTLO and TOT
To prevent interference to other users on busy channels, the Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO) and Busy Tone Lock-Out (BTLO) features prevent transmission by the portable if the channel is occupied. And the Time-Out Timer (TOT) feature will automatically cut of transmission if the programmed maximum transmit time is exceeded.


Remote Radio Stun/Kill/Revive (5-Tone)
To prevent use of the portable by an unauthorized operator (in case of theft, non-payment of subscription, etc.), a dispatch center can send a 5-Tone command to "Stun" (temporary disabling) or "Kill" (permanent disabling) a unit. If the "Stun" command has been sent, another 5-Tone "Revive" command may also be sent, re-enabling operation of the portable.


Encryption (Optional FVP-35 or FVP-36 required)
The FVP-35 (Rolling Code) and FVP-36 (Inversion) Encryption Units provide security for your important public safety and security communications.

+Versatility

VX-929 / 924 with LCD: Maximum 512 Channels/32 Groups VX-921 w/o LCD: Maximum 48 Channels/3 Groups

The LCD-equipped version provides massive channel storage capability: up to 512 channels may be programmed into as many as 32 groups. A single radio may therefore be programmed with channel sets for a number of different jurisdictions or organizations, ensuring seamless interoperability. The VX-920 Series without the LCD can accommodate up to 48 channels in up to three groups.

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 the squelch.

DTMF ANI/DTMF Paging
Fleet and network operation are enhanced by the built-in DTMF ANI/Paging circuit.

2-Tone Encode and Multiple 2-Tone Decode
The VX-920 Series can transmit a 2-Tone paging call, and can receive 2-Tone calls using different tone combinations

User Selectable Tone
One of the front panel's "programmable" keys may be designated so as to allow the user to select a CTCSS or DCS tone from a pre-defined Tone Table.

Scan: Channel Scan, Priority Scan, Dual Watch, Follow-me Scan,Follow-me Dual Watch, and TA Scan

The VX-920 Series provides unmatched flexibility in its scanning features. Designed to optimize operation in a wide variety of system environments, these scanning capabilities ensure that you never miss an important call!

Compander (Wide and Narrow Band)
For operation in systems requiring Companding, the VX-920 Series portables include both Wide- and Narrow-band Companding circuitry, programmable channel by channel.

Lone Worker
The Lone Worker feature is designed to emit an alarm for 30 seconds when the Lone Worker Timer (programmed by the dealer) has expired. If the user does not reset the timer by pressing the PTT switch, the radio switches to the Emergency mode.

RX/TX Battery Saver
When engaged, the Receive-mode Battery Saver rapidly pulses the portable on and off, reducing current consumption and extending battery life. If a call is received, the Battery Saver is disengaged, and normal operation resumes. On transmit, the Battery Saver will reduce transmitter power, thus extending operating time, when you are within close range of a strong repeater or dispatch center.

Programmable Function Keys
Customization of feature access is easily accomplished at the time of programming, thanks to the "programmable" keys that may be assigned functions needed most in your operating environment.

PC Programmable
All channel and other configuration data may be uploaded to the portable by the dealer in a matter of minutes, allowing efficient setup of a fleet of radios when rapid deployment is required.

ANI Encoding and Decoding (MDC-1200®, GE-Star®, and DTMF (Encode): optional VME-100 or VMDE-200 required)
Automatic Number Identification, triggered by the pressing of the PTT key, is available in the most popular industry-standard formats, via the optional VME-100 (for Encoding only) or VMDE200 (for Encoding and Decoding) module.
