The Vertex Standard VX-1700 is a low-cost, integrated
HF communications transceiver designed for the Land
Mobile market.
The VX-1700 includes 200 memory channels (arranged
in five banks) with Alpha-Numeric labeling of Memory
channels. And the Selcall feature allows paging of a
single transceiver or groups of transceivers by a
dispatch center.
Available options include the VL-1000/VP-1000 1 kW Linear
Amplifier/Power Supply, FP-1030A AC Power Supply,
FC-30 Automatic External Antenna Tuner (for 50 Ohm
unbalanced antenna feedlines), FC-40 Automatic
External Antenna Tuner (for an end-fed random-length
wire or long whip antenna), YA-30 Broadband Dipole
Antenna, YA-007FG Mobile Antenna, MD-200A8X
Desktop
Microphone, MLS-100 External Speaker, and
the ALE-1
Automatic Link Establishment Unit which
automatically selects the channel with the best LQA
(Link Quality Analysis) score from the programmed
channels.
