VERSATILITY
HIGH PERFORMANCE CONSERVATIVE DESIGN FOR HIGH RELIABILITY
The large-diameter cooling fan (8 cm) is thermostatically
controlled, ensuring a stable temperature environment for
the VXR-9000. Fan operation may be programmed via
software (Off, Continuous, or Temperature-Controlled),
and a "Malfunction" alarm is provided.
READY FOR RACK MOUNTING
For easy integration into existing repeater sites, the VXR-
9000 is shipped ready for mounting in a standard 19" rack.
32 CHANNEL CAPACITY
The VXR-9000 may be dealer-programmed with up to 32
channels over a wide frequency range, and may be
operated either in a "Repeater" or "Base Station" mode,
depending on your application.
SIX DUAL-FUNCTION PROGRAMMABLE KEYS ON
FRONT PANEL
Over twenty different functions are available for selection
and assignment to any of the six dual-function programmable
keys on the front panel of the VXR-9000. These functions
include Channel Up/Down, High/Low Power, Repeater/Base
mode, Encryption On/Off, Transmit/Receive, Panel Lights
On/Off, and many more!
EXCELLENT RECEIVER PERFORMANCE
The VXR-9000 is crafted to survive in the most difficult RF
environments. Outstanding selectivity, intermodulation
rejection, and spurious and image rejection performance
ensure reliable service during peak spectrum congestion times.
AUDIO COMPANDING PER CHANNEL
The VXR-9000’s versatile configuration capability permits
inclusion of narrow-band, compandered channels among
wide-band, non-compandered channels.
DC BACKUP WITH ALERT
Should DC power fail at the repeater site, the VXR-9000
will automatically revert to a backup DC power source, if
available. Under emergency DC power, the repeater will
transmit an alert message, to alert the communications
supervisor that the DC power situation requires immediate
attention at the repeater site.
50 W RF POWER/AVAILABLE 100 W VERSION (Optional)
The VXR-9000 provides 50 Watts of clean, reliable power output
in its standard configuration. For applications requiring
extended range, the optional VPA-9000H Power Amplifier
increases the transmitter’s power to 100 Watts.

SECURITY
SELECTABLE ENCRYPTION OPTIONS
The VXR-9000 may be set up for either rolling code or
inversion-type encryption (optional module required). The
security required by your customer is available for easy
installation.
FIVE-STEP AUTOMATIC COMMAND SEQUENCE
During certain operating events (such as Startup, switch
from main DC to backup DC, etc.) the VXR-9000 may be
programmed to undertake an automatic sequence of
commands, so it can be configured for the particular event.
For example, if DC fails and the repeater switches to
emergency DC, the repeater can be set up to switch to
Low Power, send a CW ID advising of the DC power
situation, and other auto-command sequences, as well.
D-SUB 25-PIN ACCESSORY CONNECTOR ON REAR PANEL
For convenient interfacing to external controllers or other
accessories, the rear-panel DSUB 25-Pin Accessory Jack
provides access to important repeater circuitry without the need
for a specialized connector.
PROGRAMMABLE MESSAGE BANKS
Enter date, subject, and notes such as programming or
service memos, for recall at any time in the future.
TWO-TONE DECODE STARTUP
The VXR-9000 may be booted up using two-tone commands.
Four popular two-tone formats are supported, and the
precise frequencies of each of the two tones may be
manually adjusted from 100 Hz to 5 kHz, in 0.1 Hz steps.
Reliable in operation, and flexible in setup options, the VXR-9000 is a high-tech 50 W/100 W*
FM Repeater designed for advanced commercial applications. Its slim-line design is
crafted for easy installation in a standard 19-inch rack mount, and all programming
parameters may be accomplished by the Dealer in minutes using a personal computer
and Vertex Standard’s Programming Software.
