Vertex Standard VXA-300 Aviator Air Band Ham Radio This is Vertex Standard VXA-300 Air band transceiver. 100% new, factory packed and never been used. TheVertex Standard VXA-300 is a compact, stylish, solid hand-heldtransceiver providing communication (transmit and receive) capabilityon the International Aircraft Communication Band ("COM" band: 118 136.975 MHz), and it additionally provides VOR and CDI navigationfeatures on the "NAV" band (108 117.975 MHz). Features summary: - 5 Watts TX Output Power(at 7.2 V. 5 W P.E.P. typ., 1.5 W carrier) - 250 Memory Channels (Incl. Pre-Programmed Book Memory Channels) - PC Programmable - 8 Character Alpha Numeric Display - Back-lit Keypad and Display with Dimmer - One Touch Emergency Frequency (121.5 MHz) Access - Rugged and Submersible Construction (Three feet for 30 minutes) - NOAA Weather Channel Receive (U.S.A. Only) - NOAA Weather Alert (U.S.A. Only) - RX Battery Saver - VOX Operation (Voice-actuated Transmit/Receiveswitching) Key Features: ULTRA RUGGED, SUBMERSIBLE CASE CONSTRUCTION The Pilot III is built inside a rugged Aluminium case, carefully sealed to protect against water ingress. Built to survive immersion in water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of three feet, the Pilot III can keep you communicating even if it gets wet if you have to ditch! DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY VIA EASY-TO-READ BACK-LIT KEYPAD For quick access to operating frequencies, simply enter the frequency information directly from the 16 button keypad, then press the "Push To Talk" (PTT) button to transmit. There's no need to store frequencies in memory before you can operate on them. 5 WATTS OF CLEAN POWER OUTPUT For reliable communications over difficult communications paths, the VXA-300 provides 5 Watts of transmitter power (1.5 W carrier). With its excellent audio clarity, the VXA-300's transmitter will get your message through! RECEIVER AUDIO PITCH CONTROL For improved reception under difficult conditions, the receiver's audio frequency response may be quickly adjusted by the user, to enhance either the high-frequency or low-frequency components, depending on the noise and/or interference encountered. A Vertex Standard exclusive! 250 MEMORY CHANNELS The 150 regular memory channels and 100 preprogrammed "Book" memory channels can store just about any commonly-used operating frequencies that you choose. And the memories may be labeled with an Alpha-numeric title of up to 8 characters, for easy recognition. ONE TOUCH SQUELCH CONTROL Breaking the squelch threshold has never been easier. Press the monitor (MON) button for two seconds to open the Pilot III's squelch continuously. Press MON again to restore the original squelch settings. This is TRUE onehanded operation, without the need to fumble around with tightly spaced concentric knobs. RECEIVE BATTERY SAVER This feature is designed to maximize the life of the transceiver's battery. When the Pilot III is in the standby mode the battery saver de-energizes the transceiver's circuitry, waking it up at userselected intervals to sample for radio activity. If no activity is detected the Pilot goes back into its sleep mode. Current consumption is minimized, thereby maximizing battery life. This feature is only found on Vertex Standard Airband transceivers. NOAA WEATHER CHANNELS (U.S.A. Only) The Pilot III can receive all 10 NOAA weather broadcast frequencies. The Automatic Active Weather Channel Locator (a Vertex Standard exclusive) automatically scans for active NOAA weather stations in your area when WX band is selected. VERSATILE SCANNING FEATURES The VXA-300's versatile scanning capability allows you to monitor a number of different channels efficiently. The VXA-300 will scan the COM band, main or Book memories, or the Weather band (U.S. version), and also includes provision for Dual Watch and Priority Revert Dual Watch that always ensures transmission on a "Priority" channel. PA FEATURE When the optional MH-44B4B or other external microphone is used, the VXA-300 may be used as a portable Public Address system, with userprogrammable configuration available for the voice monitoring in a headset. OTHER FEATURES Automatic Noise Limiter Ambient Temperature monitor One-Touch Squelch (Monitor) Control External DC Jack (12V) Battery Voltage Display 8.33 or 25 kHz Channel Steps Stop Watch and Count Down Timers Easy-to use Menu System for Custom Configuration PC Programmable 3-WAY DISPLAY TITLING AND BACK-LIT DISPLAY Easy to use, versatile access to channel information is critical to successful transceiver operation.
