Product Description

Vertex Standard VX-459 5 Watt Waterproof Two Way Radio

The Vertex Standard VX-459 two way radio is the most feature rich analog two way radio on the market for the price.  What makes the Vertex Standard VX-459 DTMF features stand out from the rest is the ease of use and customization versus other 2 way radios on the market.  The Speed Dial function in the VX-459 by Vertex Standard allows “phone numbers” to be preprogrammed in the radio.  Instead of your crew memorizing long code sequences or have the “phone numbers” written down and taped to the two way radio, each code sequence can be assigned a number such as 1 or 2.  Traditional DTMF 2 way radios force the user to hold down the push-to-talk button while typing the “phone number” simultaneously; this also transmits the string of numbers and leaves no room for error.  Turning the sprinklers on at the wrong hole can be disastrous at a golf course.   With the Vertex Standard VX-459 two way radio DTMF Code Set function, with a press of a button you can type in the number sequence, verify it’s accuracy, THEN press the push-to-talk button to transmit the string of numbers.  This is a simple value added feature built into the Vertex Standard VX-459 two way radio.  The Vertex Standard VX-459 2 way radio is IP57 military rated for dust, shock, splash, weather, and is waterproof for up to three feet for thirty minutes.  Backed by the industry leading three year repair warranty, the VX-459 two way radio by Vertex Standard gets the job done.

Shipyards have specific radio needs.  Much of the work is done outdoors and 2 way radios are constantly getting rained on, being dropped on the ground, and sometimes dropped in the water.  The Vertex Standard VX-459 two way radio is IP57 military rated for being weatherproof, splash proof, and waterproof for up to three feet for thirty minutes.  The Vertex Standard VX-459 two way portable radio has a DTMF keypad which can be used at security points to open and close gates.  The Vertex Standard VX-459 2 way radio has ARTS built in.  The Vertex Standard ARTS feature alerts a radio if it is no longer in range of another radio.  ARTS is just another value added feature in the VX-459 two way radio by Vertex Standard. 

Security services rely on the Vertex Standard VX-459 two way radio, by using the Emergency Alert feature in critical situations to using the DTMF feature for gate operations.  If a situation arises where an officer needs immediate assistance but cannot transmit a message on the 2 way radio, the Emergency Alert button can be pressed notifying all other Vertex Standard VX-459 2 way radios.  The Vertex Standard VX-459 two way radio also displays which two way radio sent the Emergency Alert by using a unique ID.  By using the VX-459 DTMF Speed Dial function there is no need to memorize long strings of numbers to open and close a specific gate.  Having a “phone number” guide taped to the radio is a thing of the past.  The durable and rugged Vertex Standard VX-459 2 way radio meets IP57 military standards.  The Vertex Standard VX-459 is the radio for your security needs.
