Communications, Navigation
Indicator and Safety Aid built into one transceiver. The Aviator VXA-300
Pilot III combines Vertex Standards legendary MIL-STD construction and sleek
styling with the most advanced features ever offered in a handheld air band
transceiver.
The Aviator VXA-300 meets the demanding ruggedness requirements of MIL-STD
810. The durable high impact housing and die-cast chassis assure reliable
performance even under the most adverse operating conditions. And Vertex
Standard's extensive rubber gasketing system around the housing seams,
keypad, knobs, microphone jacks and speaker grill ensures that the Vertex
VXA-300 is submersible that can withstand water intrusion at 3 feet for up
to 30 minutes.
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.
200 Regular Memory channels can store just about any commonly used operating
frequencies that you choose. Convenient 8 character Alpha-Numeric display
titling makes recalling information stored in memory channels quick and
easy. 30% larger LCD display characters (compared to the the other Vertex
Transceivers)
Breaking the squelch threshold has never been easier. Press the monitor
(MON) button for two seconds and the VXA-300's squelch remains opened for
monitoring weak and distant signals. Pressing MON again restores squelch
settings. This is TRUE one handed operation. No need to fumble with tightly
spaced concentric knobs!
Receiver Battery Saver feature is designed to maximize the life of the
transceiver's battery. When the VXA-300 is in the standby mode the battery
saver de-energizes the transceivers circuitry, waking up at user selected
intervals to sample for radio activity. If no activity is detected the
Aviator Pilot III goes back into its sleep mode. Current consumption is
minimized, thereby maximizing battery life. This feature is only found on
Vertex Air band transceivers! The 1400 Mah Nickel Metal Hydride Battery will
last over 14 hours between cycle charges.
The VXA-300 can receive all 10 NOAA weather broadcast frequencies. The
Automatic Active Weather Channel Locator automatically scans for active NOAA
weather stations in your area when the Weather band is selected.
The VXA-300 allows easy access to the Menu ("set") mode. The Menu mode is a
straightforward and intuitive feature for changing the operating parameters
of the Aviator Pilot III. This will allow easy user access to squelch
settings, clearing memory information, scanning, scan lamp, keypad beep,
battery saver settings, display backlighting and priority channel check
time. Setting the more advanced features of a transceiver has never been
easier.
