Wide band coverage and high-power performance
With 25W power output for effective communications transmission, the VX-2100/2200 Series provides reliability, extensive signaling features and enhanced channel capacity for maximum return on your investment. Die-cast aluminum construction helps dissipate heat and absorbs vibration for durability.
Key Features:
Light Weight, High-Capacity Lithium Ion Battery
The VX-1210 includes a 14.8 V Lithium-Ion battery with RX/TX battery saver option that lasts up to 24 hours in receive mode and up to 10 hours in standard SSB operation.
Memory for Large Group Communications
Get 500 channels and alphanumeric labels for each channel for quick and easy call management.
Easy Paging and Calling Options
Using the optional SEL-1200 unit, the VX-1210 supports paging, SELCALL and TELCALL options for fast and flexible communications. Options can be pre-programmed or manually entered for temporary calling requirements.
Integral Noise Blanker
The VX-1210 has a built-in noise blanker capability to improve operation in high noise and areas with significant interference. The noise blanker enhances intelligibility in the presence of vehicular ignition noise and other sources of RF generated impulse noise.
Automatic Antenna Tuning
With the optional ATU-1210 unit installed, simply press and hold the assigned toggle switch to initiate automatic antenna tuning for whip antennas.
