VX-4000 - Introduction
Reliability, ruggedness, and versatility: these are the essential elements in a successful communications system. Vertex Standard VX-4000 provides the features, performance, and toughness to get your message through under the most demanding public safety operating conditions.
It's a perfect blend of rugged design, flexible signaling options, superb ergonomics, and expandability, making the VX-4000 series an outstanding choice for your future communications needs.

ONE RF DECK TO MULTIPLE HEAD CAPABILITIES
A single VX-4000 RF Deck may be controlled by two different Control Heads, allowing control of the radio from more than one location. Depending on the installation requirements, both Control Heads may be connected directly to the RF Deck, or the two Control Heads may be connected in a series "Daisy Chain" configuration.

250 CHANNEL CAPACITY
Huge 250-channel capacity may be partitioned into as many as 20 Memory Groups, with no limit on the number of channels in each Group. A single radio may therefore be programmed with channel sets for a number of different jurisdictions or organizations.

PRIORITY SCAN
The VX-4000's versatile scanning system includes a Priority Scan function, which provides scanning of all channels (or channels within a Memory Group) while maintaining a priority watch on a particularly important channel. Scanning will halt immediately, and operation will revert to the Priority Channel if activity is detected on the Priority Channel.

GROUP SCAN
To provide more efficient scanning, the VX-4000 provides capability for scanning only within a particular Memory Group. The channels you need to scan therefore will be checked more times per minute, ensuring that important calls are not missed.

VOTING (RECEIVED SIGNAL STRENGTH) SCAN
In areas of heavy channel loading, or in areas where interference from distant systems is often received, the VX-4000 may be set up to respond only to signals exceeding a prescribed signal level.

DTMF SIGNALING & DIALING FEATURES
When used with the optional MH-53B7A DTMF Microphone, the VX-4000 may be configured for both manual and Speed Dial DTMF calling. All versions provide programmable PTT ANI for business or fleet applications.

DUAL BAND CAPABILITY
Two VX-4000 Control Heads and RF Decks, on different bands, may be "networked" to allow multi-band operation. VHF, UHF, or VHF Low Band radios may be combined to meet complicated communications requirements involving federal, state, and local government and/or forestry operations.

CTCSS / DCS ENCODE+ DECODE
Field programming of the CTCSS tones or DCS codes is available, allowing access to multiple systems or quick configuration for multi-jurisdictional operations.

USER SELECTABLE TONES / CODES
High-performance Encoder/Decoder circuits for both CTCSS and Digital Code Squelch are provided for access to tone/code controlled systems..

BUILT IN 25 PIN (DB-25) ACCESSORY CONNECTOR
The VX-4000 includes a built-in standard DB-25 connector, for ease of integration of the radio into your communications system. The DB-25 connector includes a number of logic status lines, Squelch state and level indicators, and Data I/O connections. Horn Alert and other accessories also can be connected through the DB-25.

INTERNAL ACCESSORY INTERFACING
The VX-4000 Series is easily interfaced to 3rd-party accessories. The optional CN-6 Interface Unit provides a quick interconnection platform for signaling, control, and other accessory boards used in public safety environments
