IntroductIon
The EVX-5300 is full-featured Digital/Analog transceiver designed for exible
mobile and base station business communications in the VHF/UHF Land Mobile
bands. This transceiver designed for reliable business communications in a wide
variety of applications with a wide range of operating capability provided by their
leading-edge design.
The EVX-5300 operates using the TDMA protocol for spectrum and power ef-
ciency and lower total equipment cost compared to FDMA. Digital eliminates
noise and static from voice transmit to only deliver the intended voice message
crisply and clearly. The EVX-5300 feature the AMBE+2™ vocoder for enhanced
voice quality.
This transceiver allows up to 8 memory channels. Important channel frequency
data is stored in the ash memory on the CPU, and is easily programmable by a
Vertex Standard licensed dealers using a personal computer with Vertex Standard
Programming equipment FIF-12 USB Programming Interface and CT-104A Con-
nection Cable for FIF-12 and CE142 Software. Or, once programmed, cloning
cable CT-4 can be used to program portable to portable directly.
The pages which follow will detail the many advanced features provided in the
EVX-5300 Series transceiver. After reading this manual, you may wish to consult
with your Network Administrator regarding precise details of the conguration of
this equipment for use in your application.
For North American Users Regarding 406 MHz Guard Band
The U.S. Coast Guard and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Ad-
ministration have requested the cooperation of the U.S. Federal Communi-
cations Commission in preserving the integrity of the protected frequency
range 406.0 to 406.1 MHz, which is reserved for use by distress beacons.
Do not attempt to program this apparatus, under any circumstances, for op-
eration in the frequency range 406.0 - 406.1 MHz if the apparatus is to be

Transmitting
To transmit, monitor the channel and make sure it is clear.
Press the PF key which is programmed to the Monitor feature to listen for
channel activity.
When receiving a call, transmit only after the incoming call ends. The radio
cannot receive a call and transmit simultaneously.
Press the PTT switch.
If the channel is clear, the TX/BUSY indicator will glow red (on the Analog
Channel) or blue (on the Digital Channel). The radio is now transmitting.
While holding in the PTT switch, speak across the face of the microphone in
a clear and normal voice. For best transmission, hold the microphone about
1-1/2 to 2 inches (4 ~ 5 cm) away from your mouth. Release the PTT switch
to receive.
If the BCLO (Busy Channel Lockout) feature has been programmed on an ana-
log channel, the radio will not transmit when a carrier is present. Instead, the
radio will generate short beep three times. Release the PTT switch and wait for
the channel to be clear of activity.
If the BTLO (Busy Tone Lockout) feature has been programmed on an analog
channel or CCLO (Color Code Lockout) feature has been programmed on
a digital channel, the radio can transmit only when there is no carrier being
received or when the carrier being received includes the correct tone (CTCSS
tone or DCS code) on an analog channel or correct code on a digital channel.
