MOTOROLA VX-261 HANDHELD PORTABLE 5 WATT 16 CHANNEL ANALOG TWO-WAY RADIO
 
Motorola's VX-261 two-way business radio is specially designed for demanding use with clear communications weighing in at only 9.9 ounces. This radio is a great choice for use on large job sites, construction, farming and much more.  This model comes in UHF or VHF, the UHF version has 2 frequency ranges to choose from. UHF radios work best indoors and mixed use of both indoors and outdoors. VHF works best outside in clear areas.  
 
The Motorola VX Series radios have built-in safety features designed to get your employees help immediately in the case of an emergency. Take Emergency Alert - At the touch of a button, any team member can send an alert that help is needed ASAP. And with Lone Worker, check-ins can be set up at regular intervals so that an employee working alone must send a signal that everything is okay. If the signal isn’t received on time, the radio automatically notifies help. The Motorola VX Series radios are ideal for organizations that have strict safety guidelines and procedures in place. Or for any business that wants to stay a step ahead in critical situations.

With enhanced interoperability, you can choose from multiple signaling options, such as MDC1200®, FleetSync®, DTMF, and 2-tone or 5-tone capabilities for seamless integration into a mixed fleet. Compatible with the universal battery system, you’ll eliminate equipment clutter and confusion by standardizing on one charging base for the entire team.
 
Based upon a proven design - with such features as scan, built-in VOX, and long battery life - the VX-261 has been expertly engineered to satisfy the toughest job requirements, in all conditions, thanks to MIL-STD 810 C/D/E/F/G & IP-55 weatherproofing. They are field programmable and clone-able.
 
NOTE: The Motorola VX-261 is the same radio as the Vertex Standard VX-261. Vertex Standard is a Motorola owned company. Motorola has re-branded the VX-261. All Vertex VX-261 radios are compatible with Motorola VX-261 radios.
