CTCSS Encoder/Decoder
Subaudible (CTCSS) 50-tone Encoder and Decoder circuits are built into every
VX-3200, ensuring compatibility with modern repeater requirements.
DCS Encoder/Decoder
For applications requiring Digital Coded Squelch signaling, full-featured DCS
Encoder and Decoder circuits provide leading-edge protection from false decoding.
DTMF ANI Encoder
Automatic Number Identification (ANI) via an automatic DTMF Encoder is also
provided among the VX-3200's versatile signaling capabilities.
DUAL 2-TONE DECODING
For applications where a mobile may be receiving calls from more than one
dispatcher on a particular channel, the VX-3200 includes a built-in Dual Two-Tone
Decoder circuit.
Versatile Scanning
A wide range of set-up options are available during configuration of the VX-3200,
to ensure compatibility with the operating requirements of your system's users.
Programmable Front Panel Keys
Custom assignment of important functions to front panel keys is available at the time of
programming, to provide the most ergonomically-friendly transceiver available today.
Programmable Alert Tones
Among the useful set-up options for the VX-3200 is the capability to customize the
"Alert" tones generated from the transceiver, for ease of recognition by the user.

Rugged, Die-cast Construction
The VX-3200's circuitry is housed within a
die-cast aluminum enclosure, which doubles
as a heat sink. This extraordinarily durable
construction ensures many years of reliable
operation, even in high-vibration installations
.
Emergency Mode
When activated, the "Emergency" feature sends out the DTMF ANI, and cycles
between transmit and receive, to serve as an emergency beacon to alert the
dispatcher as to the need for immediate aid.
Encryption (Optional FVP-25 required)
For applications requiring secure communications, the optional FVP-25 Paging/
Encryption Unit provides scrambling and descrambling functions.
DTMF Paging (Optional FVP-25 required)
For dispatch or network operations where DTMF Paging is required, the optional
FVP-25 Paging/Encryption fulfills this requirement, as well.
ARTSTM Feature (Conventional Mode)
The Auto-Range Transponder System, a Vertex Standard exclusive, alerts the
operator when another ARTSTM-equipped station (for example, a hand-held unit)
moves out of communication range. You can then advise the other user to move
to a better location.
TOT, BCLO, BTLO Features
Among the most useful protection features of the VX-3200 are the transmitter
Time-Out Timer (TOT), Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO), and Busy Tone Lock-Out
(BTLO), to ensure efficient network performance at all times.
MIL-Spec Rated (MIL 810 C/D/E)
The ultra-rugged design of the VX-3200 Series enables it to be fully compliant
with the exacting specifications of MIL 810 C, D, and E, pursuant to the test
procedures documented below.
Compander Included
For narrow-band channel applications, the built-in Audio Companding system
compresses the voice waveform during transmission, and expands it during reception,
allowing full-sounding audio despite the restricted transmission bandwidth.
