The Vertex Standard VXA-210 Pilot is a compact, stylish, solid hand-held transceiver providing communication (transmit

and receive) capability on the International Aircraft Communication Band (“COM” band: 118 ~ 136.975 MHz), and it addi-

tionally provides VOR and CDI navigation features on the “NAV” band (108 ~ 117.975 MHz).

The VXA-210 includes Temperature display with our exclusive Omni-GlowTM display back-light for minimal degrada-

tion of your night vision, NOAA weather band monitoring, 8-character Alpha/Numeric Display, 50 Memory Channels, and

100 “Book Memory” Channels. And the optional Barometric Pressure Unit (SU-1) provides readout of barometric pressure,

altitude, and density altitude.

The following pages describe the Controls & Connectors, Accessories & Options, and Specification of the VXA-210.

With proper care and operation, the transceiver will provide many years of reliable communications.

KEYPAD

PTT (PUSH TOTALK)Switch

Press this button to transmit when you are operating

in the “COM” band. Release this button to return to

the “RECEIVE” mode.

MONITOR Switch

This button may be pressed to “open” the squelch

manually, allowing you to listen for very weak sig-

nals. Press and hold this button for 2 seconds to “open”

the squelch continuously. Press this button again to

resume normal (quiet) monitoring.

LAMP Switch

Press this switch momentarily to activate the back-

lighting lamp for the display. Press and hold this switch

for 2 seconds to activate the back-lighting lamp con-

tinuously. To turn the lamp off, press this switch again.

The LAMPswitch may be configured in several ways

via the Menu.

MIC/EAR Jack

You may connect the supplied CT-60 Headset Cable

or the (optional) MH-44A4B Speaker/Microphone to

this jack.

Never connect any Speaker/Microphone that

is not recommended by the manufacturer. Be-

cause these jack connections are unique, using a

Speaker/Microphone that is not specified by Vertex

Standard may damage the VXA-210. Accessories for

the VertexStandardAmateur orVertex Standard Com-

mercial radios will not work with the VXA-210.

EXT DC Jack

When an external 12-Volt DC power source is avail-

able, you may connect the (optional) E-DC-5B Ex-

ternal DC Cable here. Do not connect any wire to

this jack if that wire is connected directly to a 28-

Volt DC source. Connecting the VXA-210 directly to

a source which exceeds 15.0 Volts DC will result in

damage to the unit.

FIELD PROGRAMMING MODE

The VXA-210’s Book Memories also allow the user to

store, label, and recall channel frequencies which you may

want to use frequently while the VXA-210 is in the Field

Programming mode.

Memory Storage into the Book Memory

rPress and hold the PTT and LAMP switches while

turning the radio on, to activate the Field Program-

ming Mode.

rSelect the desired frequency to be stored in the Book

Memory.

rPress and hold the [MW(SPL.W)]key for 2 seconds.

The display will indicate “BOOK-” and a channel num-

ber will blink on the LCD.

rWithin five seconds of pressing the [MW(SPL.W)]

key, rotate the DIAL selector knob to select the de-

sired memory channel number for storage.

rNow press and hold in the [MW(SPL.W)]key for 2

seconds; you will now see “--------” on the LCD.

To attach an alpha/numeric name (label) to the

memory, proceed to the next step; otherwise press and

hold the [MW(SPL.W)]key for 2 seconds to save the

entry and exit.

rTo label a memory with an alpha/numeric name, the

next step is to use the DIAL selector knob to select

any of the 48 available characters (including letters,

numbers, and special symbols). When the desired first

character appears, press down on the DIAL selector

knob momentarily to move on to the next character.

rSelect succeeding characters in the same manner,

pressing down on the DIAL selector knob momentarily

after each selection.

rAfter entering the entire name (eight characters maxi-

mum), press the [MW(SPL.W)]key for 2 seconds to

save all data for the channel.

rTurn the radio off, then turn the radio back on again

to begin normal operation.

Installation of the SU-1

1. Make sure that the transceiver is off. Remove the hard

or soft case, if used.

2. Remove the two screws affixing the belt clip and re-

move the belt clip, then remove the battery pack.

3. Locate the connector for the SU-1 under the “Cau-

tion” label in the battery compartment on the back of

the radio, just carefully peel off the “Caution” label.

4. Remove the small Rubber Cushion from the “Cau-

tion” label. Keep this Rubber Cushion for future use,

because this Rubber Cushion must be replaced on the

connector board of the transceiver if you remove the

SU-1 from the transceiver. We recommend that this

Rubber Cushion be put on the bottom of the SU-1.

5. Align the connector on theSU-1with the transceiver’s

connector and gently press the unit into place.

6. Affix the “Caution” label, and replace the battery and

the belt clip.

7. Installation is now complete.

Important Note

The Barometric pressure/Altitude feature of the op-

tional SU-1 are designed to be supplemental aids

for the information of the user, and are not intend-

ed to be a substitute for accurate, calibrated Ba-

rometer or Altimeter devices used for navigation

critical to personal safety.

CE41 Programming Software

CE41 Programming Software Instructions

With the CE41 programming Software you can quickly and easily program the features and memories of the Vertex

Standard VXA-210 heavy duty air band transceiver from your personal computer. The CE41 Programming Software

allows custom memory files to be stored, saved, merged, and edited for convenience when planning a journey. In the

event of an accidental memory failure, transceiver memory and configuration data may be re-loaded in a matter of min-

utes.

The CE41 Programming Software diskette contains the following files:

¦CE41.EXE - The executable programming software;

¦CE41.HLP - The “Help” file used with the main program; and

¦CE41.CFG - The “Configuration” file for the main program.

Before connecting the VXA-210 for programming, turn off both the computer and the VXA-210. Now connect the

CT-42A PC Programming Cable to the computer’s serial port and the VXA-210 as shown in the illustration. Then it will

be safe to restart the computer; turning off the equipment during interconnection avoids damage to the electronics caused

by voltage spikes.

Insert the distribution diskette into your 3½” drive (after booting DOS), and make a copy of the diskette; use the

distribution diskette for archive purposes, and use the disk copy for programming.

Place the CE41 (copy) diskette into your 3½” drive (usually “Drive A”), and log onto this drive by typing A:[ENTER]. At

this point, you may make a directory for the CE41 software, if you like, according to standard DOS procedures (using the

“MKDIR” command). Load the contents of the CE41 diskette into this directory, using the “COPY” command (e.g. COPY

A:*.*C:\ [directory name]).

Now type CE41 [ENTER]to start the program. The introductory screen will appear, and you may press any key to enter

the main screen, as shown below.

Choose the “Help” contents option from the program’s Menu for assistance with program operation.

Important Note!

Do not work directly with the CE41 programming diskette. Make a copy of it and use the copy when programming the

VXA-210. Keep it and the original distribution diskette in a safe place in case you need to make another copy of it later.
