Compact Size and Light Weight
The high performance of the VX-131/132 is packed into a compact
(2.3" x 4.7" x 1.2" WHD) case, yielding a package that is small
enough to be unobtrusive yet large enough to provide a large
speaker and easy access to controls and switches. And the light
weight (less than 0.18 lb) of the VX-131/132 ensures that this
radio won’t weigh the user down!
2 Watts Power Output
Ideal for local-area communications, the 2-Watt power of the VX-
131/132
ensures long battery life, while providing outstanding
communications
range. Combined with Vertex’s legendary audio
quality, the robust power
output will get your message through!
One and Two Channel Versions Available
Choose the ultimate simplicity of the single-channel VX-131, or
the added flexibility of the two-channel VX-132, to meet your
custom communication needs.
157 Programmable Private Codes per Channel
Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System (CTCSS) and
Digital Code Squelch (DCS) for Silent Monitoring in crowded RF
environments.
Battery Saver Circuit for Extended Operation
The VX-131 and VX-132 provide an innovative battery saver
feature that requires no user action to activate, yet it yields a
significant extension of operating time. The battery saver, after
a short period of not receiving signals, will periodically shut itself
down for short time intervals, while "polling" itself rapidly so as not
to miss incoming calls. The result is greatly reduced battery drain,
for more hours of operating between battery charges.
•Low Battery Indication •Durable and Flexible Antenna
Loud, Clear Receiver Audio
Providing up to a half Watt of crisp, clear audio from its receiver
section, the VX-131/132 is ideal for use in real-world working
environments. The careful design and large speaker ensure very
low distortion of received audio, for great user satisfaction.
Rugged and Durable, with Superb Ergonomics
Built to exceed the exacting ruggedness specifications of the U.S.
military, the VX-131/132 are constructed using a die-cast aluminum
chassis, along with an impact-resistant composite plastic case
to ensure years of reliable operation. Knobs and switches are
crafted for easy access, yet immunity from accidental bumping
of critical controls.
ARTS™(Auto Range Transponding System)
Included in the VX-131/132 is Vertex Standard’s exclusive ARTS™
feature,
which can be critically important in search-and-rescue
applications.
ARTS™provides a "hand-shake" with other ARTS™-
equipped transceivers,
and the display indicates if an "Out of
Range" condition exists. The base station can then alert the field
unit to move to a better location.
