Large Channel Capacity For Greater Reach
Features 250 channel capacity and the ability to program up to 20 memory groups with no limit on the number of channels in each group.
Built For Durability
The one-piece die-cast enclosure doubles as its chassis, yielding extreme strength for resistance against shock and vibration and avoids over-heating.
When Safety Counts
The VX-5500 Series includes Emergency alert for enhanced driver safety. A panic button can be triggered by the front panel button to alert the dispatcher when problems arise. There is also an internal emergency microphone that can transmit should the regular microphone become damaged or unusable.
Loud, Full-Sounding Audio
Audio companding ensures full sound for narrow band channel applications. Use the optional 12W rear external speaker for enhanced clarity.
Exclusive Auto-Range Transpond System – ARTS™
Always know your connection status. Only Vertex Standard radios are designed to inform you when you and another ARTS™-equipped radio are within communication range. If out of range, your radio senses no signal has been received and beeps to alert you. A great solution to keep workers coordinated.
