a variety of signaling features and improved ergonomics*
that adds up to a better return on your investment.
Improved Portability
A radio that won’t get in the way, the VX-231 is compact and light weight
to easily carry with you on the job.
More Battery Power
Designed to use powerful Li-Ion battery technology for longer battery
life. Includes a 1150 mAh battery providing 9 hours of operation with the
battery saver enabled.
Wide Band Coverage for Added Value
One radio designed to cover VHF and UHF bands, which provides
expanded options in frequencies to use.
More Scanning Options
While many radios provide 1 or 2 scanning options, the VX-231 radio gives
you 4 additional scanning options for greater convenience and exibility for
the way you need your radios to perform. Options include: Priority, Dual
Watch, Follow Me and Talk Around scan.
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
eld unit to move back in range. A great solution to keep your workers
coordinated.
