RUGGED MIL-STD CONSTRUCTION
AND ULTRA COMPACT SIZE
The VXA210 Pilot 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-Standard "VXA210 Pilot" sets a new standard
for JIS-4 grade water resistance among airband transceivers available
today!

DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY AND
WELL-LABELED 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.

TEMPERATURE MEASURING FEATURE INCLUDED
The VXA210 Pilot includes a temperature-sensing device, which is used
to provide a read out of the ambient temperature. The temperature
sensor readout may be activated even when the unit is turned off.

BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, ALTITUDE AND
DENSITY ALTITUDE MEASURING CAPABILITY (Option)
Adding the optional SU-1 sensor unit will activate many useful
features on the VXA210 Pilot . With the SU-1 installed the VXA210
Pilot SU will monitor barometric pressure and altitude (not intended
for primary navigation purposes) and provide the current density
altitude calculations with a simple keystroke. There is also an easy
to follow calibration procedure to aid in the accuracy of this
feature. These parameters may also be monitored while the radio is
turned off.

150 MEMORY CHANNELS
50 Regular Memory channel and 100 "Book" Memory channels can store
just about any commonly used operating frequencies that you choose.
Convenient Alpha-Numeric display titling makes recalling information
stored in memory channels quick and easy.

ONE TOUCH SQUELCH CONTROL
Breaking the squelch threshold has never been easier. Press the
monitor (MON) button for two seconds and the VXA210 Pilot'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.

RECEIVE BATTERY SAVER
This feature is designed to maximize the life of the transceiver's
battery. When the VXA210 Pilot 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 VXA210 Pilot goes back into its sleep mode. Current
consumption is minimized, thereby maximizing battery life. This
feature is only found on Vertex-Standard's Airband transceivers!

NOAA WEATHER CHANNELS (U.S.A. Only)
The VXA210 Pilot 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 the Weather band is selected.

MENU MODE
The VXA210 Pilot allows easy access to the Menu ("set") mode. The Menu
mode is a straightforward and intuitive feature for changing the
operating parameters of the VXA210 Pilot . 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.

3 WAY DISPLAY TITLING AND BACK LIT DISPLAY

Easy to use, versatile access to channel information is critical to
successful transceiver operation. Only Vertex-Standard Airband
transceivers offer you one-touch access to three different methods of
displaying memory channel information: Operating Frequency, Channel
Number, or Alpha-Numeric Title.

HEADSET ADAPTER INCLUDED
The CT-60 headset adapter is a convenient way to operate the VXA210
Pilot with your favorite aviation headset, intercom and external push
to talk switch. The internal side tone feature will allow you to
monitor your transmitted audio through your headset in noisy cockpit
environments.

PC PROGRAMMABLE
The channel configurations are can be easily re-programmed in minutes
using the optional PC Programming Kit and your PC. As your operating
needs change, you can quickly re-program your VXA210 Pilot with the
important frequency data you need!

This radio frequently sells for $500.00 and has an MSRP of $895.00. I
received this radio from a silent key's family who wanted to liquidate
radio equipment no longer needed.
I have tested this radio personally and it comes as listed above.
Guaranteed not to be DOA, however no warranty included.
The radio shows very little wear and could almost pass for new
condition. If interested or you would like pictures emailed feel free
to contact me at the address below.
Asking price is $250.00. I am willing to trade for good screwdriver
antenna or autotuner for FT-857D and or negotiate price. You pay for
UPS shipping. I will double box with bubble wrap and or foam peanuts.
