Key Features:

2-Tone DTMF ANI Built-In
The VX-180E has built-in capability to encode and decode 5, 6 or 7-tone selective codes in 11 different tone formats. It also provides dual 2-tone decode that can be used for two individual pager calls or for a combination of individual and group calling.

High-Speed Scanning Capability
Get unmatched flexibility in scanning features for the price. In addition to basic scan, you also get Priority, Dual Watch and Follow-me scan included.

Solid Audio Output
Designed with 500 mW audio output makes the VX-180E ideal for noisy environments. The high-powered audio is coupled with a large internal speaker, assuring loud and clear audio.

Maximise Battery Life
The VX-180E includes RX/TX (receive and transmit) battery saver capability. During receive, the radio will put itself into saver mode while periodically checking for channel activity. During transmit, the VX-180E will automatically reduce power when the incoming signal is very strong.

Exclusive Auto-Range Transpond System – ARTS™
Only Vertex Standard radios are designed to inform you when you and another ARTS™-equipped station are within communication range. If out of range for more than 2 minutes, your radio senses no signal has been received and beeps to alert you. The base station can then alert the field unit to move back in range. A great solution to keep your workers co-ordinated.

Additional Features
• 16 channel capacity
• 3 Programmable front-panel function keys
• 1 Programmable side button
• 8-Character alphanumeric display
• CTCSS / DCS Encode and Decode
• BCLO
• BTLO
• TOT
• Radio-to-radio cloning
