HIGH PERFORMANCE

5 W POWER OUTPUT
The VX-410/420 Portables produce a full 5 W of power output,  with an additional selection of 1 W available for increased battery life when higher power is not required.

12.5/20/25 kHz BANDWIDTH (PROGRAMMABLE BY CHANNEL)
When programming radios for use in different jurisdictions or geographical regions, the VX-410/420 Portables may be  programmed, channel by channel, for 12.5, 20, or 25 kHz channel spacing environments, with both bandwidth and deviation automatically set according to each channel�s requirements.

LEADING-EDGE DESIGN
Crafted with care for use in areas of severe RF pollution, the VX-410/420 Portables include excellent adjacent channel selectivity and immunity from Intermodulation, along with TIA-compliant �2.5 ppm frequency stability.

LOUD 500 mW AUDIO OUTPUT

VERSATILITY

32 CHANNEL CAPACITY
The 32-channel capacity of the VX-410/420 Portables includes quick access, and the channel-specific information loaded during programming minimizes the extra keystrokes required on competing models.
Two banks of 16 channels each are provided for convenient channel access.

PROGRAMMABLE "SOFT" KEYS
Two buttons on the side panel of the VX-410 may be custom-programmed for specific functions needed in your application. The VX-420 additionally provides four front-panel programmable keys, for a total of six available custom buttons.

TRUNKING OPERATION AVAILABLE�
Installation of the SmarTrunk II module enables use of the VX-410/420 on systems equipped for Trunking operation.

DUAL 2-TONE AND 5/6-TONE SYSTEMS BUILT IN
For smooth integration into advanced radio systems, the VX-410/420 Portables are equipped with 2-Tone Encode/Decode, Dual 2-Tone Decode, as well as 5/6-Tone Encode/Decode circuitry. In addition, DTMF ANI and DTMF Paging capability is also available through installation of the optional FVP-25 DTMF Pager Unit.

EASY USER INTERFACE

ADVANCED 8-CHARACTER ALPHANUMERIC DISPLAY Providing an Alphanumeric Channel Label of up to 8  characters, the LCD display also provides convenient operating function icons to provide instant recognition of radio status.

ERGONOMIC CONSTRUCTION
The carefully-engineered case construction features a gently rounded shape for a solid grip, whether the radio is wet or dry. Its over-sized keys are easy to activate, and the operating firmware has been carefully shaped by years of feedback from public safety, business, industry, and government users.

KEY LOCK
A Soft key may be programmed as a Key Lock control, to prevent inadvertent channel change or unwanted activation/de-activation of functions. This is especially valuable in surveillance operations, where the radio may be concealed and subject to accidental pressure on its keys.

RADIO TO RADIO CLONE FEATURE
For quick programming of the VX-410/420 radios for an emergency task force, the Clone feature allows copying of all channel and configuration data from one VX-410/420 to another, using the optional CT-27 Cloning Cable.

SECURITY

BUILT-IN ENCRYPTION
The built-in Encryption circuit provides security for your important public safety and private security communications, and it may be enabled at the time of radio programming by the dealer.

OPTIONAL VOICE RECORDER
The optional DVS-5 Voice Storage Unit allows you to record and store up to 120 seconds of incoming receiver audio, ideal for keeping an audible record of an important message. Audio may be saved either as a one-time 2-minute recording, or a constantly refreshing "last 120 seconds" recording may be made.

SECURITY PASSWORD FEATURE (VX-420 Series)
The VX-420 Series provides a security password feature which can minimize the chance that your transceiver could be used by an unauthorized party. When the password feature is activated, the radio will ask for the four digit password to be entered when the radio is first turned on. You must enter the password from the keypad.
