Automatic Time-Out Timer
If the selected channel has been programmed for automatic time-out, you must limit the length
of each transmission. While transmitting, a beep will sound five seconds before time-out.
Another beep will sound just before the deadline; the “TX” indicator will disappear and
transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume transmitting, you must release the PTT and
wait for the “penalty timer” to expire (if you press the PTT before this timer expires, the timer
restarts, and you will have to wait another “penalty” period)

Advanced Operation
Description of Operating Functions
Channel Scan
The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple Channels programmed into the transceiver.
While scanning, the transceiver will check each Channel for the presence of a signal on a
Group, and will stop on a Channel if a signal is present.
To activate scanning:
Press the assigned PF button of the Scan momentarily to activate scanning.
The scanner will search the Channels of the each Group, looking for active ones; it will
pause each time it finds a Channel on which someone is speaking.
To stop scanning:
Press the assigned PF button of the Scan.
Scan
Operation will revert to the programmed Revert Channel.
Channel
Note: Your dealer may have programmed your radio to stay on one of the following channels if
you press the PTT switch during scanning pause:
•
Current Channel (“Talk Back”)
•
“Last Busy” Channel
•
“Priority” Channel
•
“Home” Channel
•
“Scan Start” Channel
Dual Watch
The Dual Watch feature is similar to the Scan feature, except that only two channels are
monitored:
The current operating channel; and
The “Priority” Channel.
To activate Dual Watch:
Watch
Press the assigned PF button of the Dual Watch.

operation when in difficult terrain.
Talk Around
Press the assigned PF button of the Talk Around to the assigned position to activate the Talk
Around feature when you are operating on duplex channel Groups (separate receive and
transmit frequencies, utilizing a “repeater” station). The Talk Around feature allows you to
bypass the repeater station and talk directly to a station that is nearby. This feature has no
effect when you are operating on “Simplex” channels, where the receive and transmit
frequencies are already the same.
Note that your dealer may have made provision for “Talk Around” channels by programming
“repeater” and “Talk Around” frequencies on two adjacent channels. If so, the button may be
used for one of the other Pre-Programmed Functions.
Lock
Press and hold the assigned PF button of the Key lock for 2sec. to lock the Front Panel buttons;
this can be enabled to prevent radio settings from being disturbed.
Group Selection
The VX-3200
VX-3200 is capable of separating its 250 memory Channels into any of 32 Groups. There
is no limit as to the number of Channels which may be assigned to each Group. The Dealer will
have made the Group assignment at the time of Channel programming.
To change Group, press the assigned PF button of the GROUP UP/DOWN (Normally ▽・△
button)
to change the Group. Once the desired Group is reached, press the assigned PF
button of the CHANNEL UP/DOWN (Normally▲
▲・▼ Button) to select the desired Channel
within the selected Group.
You may wish to have the Scanner (described previously) pass through more than one Channel
during the scanning process (normally, scanning is performed within the current Channel
only). To include the current Channel in the scanning loop, press and hold in the assigned PF
button for one second.
Multi-Group Scanning is only possible if you are using the “User Scan” list.
The VX-3200
VX-3200 has two scanning “lists:” the “Dealer Scan” list and the “User Scan” list. The
“Dealer Scan” list is a fixed Channel of stations which will be included when scanning is
activated. The “User Scan” list is a different list, initially arranged by the Dealer, which may
be modified by the User (if, for example, you want to delete one or more of these channels from
the scanning list).
To edit the User Scan list, press and hold the button (assigned to the Channel Up/Down
function) to delete the current Memory Channel from the Scanning. Alternatively, press and
hold the assigned of the Scan A/D for one second to delete the Current Memory channel from
VX-3200 Operating Manual

the Scanning.
When you delete a Channel or channel, “PRG
PRG”
PRG icon on the LCD will disappear on the LCD for
one second after pressing the assigned button. To restore a particular channel to your scanning
list, press and hold in the button again for one second; “PRG
PRG”
PRG icon will appear on the LCD for
one second after pressing the button.
Call/Reset
Call/Reset
This feature, if enabled, allows the user to change the 3-digit Page Call code, used to call other
similarly-equipped stations. Press the Dealer-assigned button, followed by the three digits
representing the Page Call code of the station you wish to call. Three tones will be heard after
the last button is pressed (the new code will now be transmitted).
The receiver squelch of the other station will be opened, and you can begin communication.
Speed Dial
Your Dealer may have pre-programmed Auto-Dial telephone number memories into your
radio.
Emergency
The VX-3200
VX-3200 Radio includes an “Emergency” feature which may be useful if you have someone
monitoring on the same frequency as your transceiver’s channel. For further details contact
your VERTEX STANDARD dealer.
ARTS (Auto Range Transpond Group)
This Group is designed to inform you when you and another ARTS-equipped station are within
communication range.
During ARTS operation, your radio automatically transmits for about 1 second every 25
seconds (the interval is programmed by the Dealer) in an attempt to shake hands with the
other station.
If you move out of range for more than two minutes, your radio senses that no signal has been
received, a ringing beeper will sound, and “OUT OF SERVICE” will scroll on the LCD. If you
subsequently move back into range, as soon as the other station transmits, your beeper will
sound, and “IN SERVICE” will scroll on the LCD.
DTMF Paging Group
This Group allows paging and selective calling, using DTMF tone sequences.
When your radio is paged by a station bearing a tone sequence which matches yours, your
radio’s squelch will open and the alert ringer will sound.
The three-digit code of the station which paged you will be displayed on your radio’s LCD.
