The Vertex Standard VXA-300 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 additionally provides VOR and CDI navigation features on the “NAV” band (108 ~ 117.975 MHz).

The VXA-300 boasts 0.8 Watt of clean audio output from its 1.4” (36-mm) diameter loudspeaker, and it also provides 8.33 kHz synthesizer steps for the receiving of the new narrow-band channel plan. The VXA-300 includes both Temperature and Supply Voltage displays with our exclusive Omni-Glow™ display back-lighting for minimal degradation of your night vision, NOAA weather band monitoring, 8-character Alpha/Numeric Display, 150 Memory Channels, and up to 100 “Book Memory” Channels. The channel configurations are can be easily reprogrammed in minutes using the optional PC Programming Kit and your PC.

  • Direct Frequency Entry via Easy-To read Back-Lit Keypad: For quick access to operating frequencies, simply enter the frequency information directly from the 16 button keypad, then press the “Push To Talk” (PTT) button to transmit. There's no need to store frequencies in memory before you can operate on them.

  • 5 Watts of Clean Power Output: For reliable communications over difficult communications paths, the VXA-300 provides 5 Watts of transmitter power (1.5 W carrier). With its excellent audio clarity, the VXA-300's transmitter will get your message through!

  • Receiver Audio Pitch Control: For improved reception under difficult conditions, the receiver's audio frequency response may be quickly adjusted by the user, to enhance either the high-frequency or low-frequency components, depending on the noise and/or interference encountered. A Vertex Standard exclusive!

  • 250 Memory Channels:The 150 regular memory channels and 100 pre-programmed “Book” memory channels can store just about any commonly-used operating frequencies that you choose. And the memories may be labeled with an Alpha-numeric title of up to 8 characters, for easy recognition.

  • One Touch Squelch Control: Breaking the squelch threshold has never been easier. Press the monitor (MON) button for two seconds to open the Pilot III's squelch continuously. Press MON again to restore the original squelch settings. This is TRUE one handed operation, without the need to fumble around with tightly spaced concentric knobs.

  • Receive Battery Saver: This feature is designed to maximize the life of the transceiver's battery. When the Pilot III is in the standby mode the battery saver de-energizes the transceiver's circuitry, waking it up at user selected intervals to sample for radio activity. If no activity is detected the Pilot goes back into its sleep mode. Current consumption is minimized, thereby maximizing battery life. This feature is only found on Vertex Standard Airband transceivers.

  • NOAA Weather Channels (U.S.A. Only)The Pilot III can receive all 10 NOAA weather broadcast frequencies. The Automatic Active Weather Channel Locator (a Vertex Standard exclusive) automatically scans for active NOAA weather stations in your area when WX band is selected.

    NWR (NOAA Weather Radio) is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information directly from a nearby National Weather Service office. NWR broadcasts National Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day.

    Working with the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) Emergency Alert System, NWR is an "All Hazards" radio network, making it your single source for comprehensive weather and emergency information. In conjunction with Federal, State, and Local Emergency Managers and other public officials, NWR also broadcasts warning and post-event information for all types of hazards  including natural (such as earthquakes or avalanches), environmental (such as chemical releases or oil spills), and public safety (such as AMBER alerts or 911 telephone outages).

    Known as the "Voice of NOAA's National Weather Service," NWR is provided as a public service by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), part of the Department of Commerce. NWR includes more than 940 transmitters, covering all 50 states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories. NWR requires a special radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up the signal. Broadcasts are found in the VHF public service band at these seven frequencies (MHz):
    162.400 162.425 162.450 162.475 162.500 162.525 162.550

  • Versatile Scanning Features:The VXA-300's versatile scanning capability allows you to monitor a number of different channels efficiently. The VXA-300 will scan the COM band, main or Book memories, or the Weather band (U.S. version), and also includes provision for Dual Watch and Priority Revert Dual Watch that always ensures transmission on a “Priority” channel.

  • PA Feature:When the optional MH-44B4B or other external microphone is used, the VXA-300 may be used as a portable Public Address system, with user programmable configuration available for the voice monitoring in a headset.

  • 3-Way Tilting and Back-Lit Display:Easy to use, versatile access to channel information is critical to successful transceiver operation. Only Vertex Standard Airband transceivers offer you one-keystroke access to three different methods of displaying memory channel information: Frequency, Channel Number, or Alpha-Numeric title.

    The aviation GATS Jar is the first, finest and only fuel analysis tester capable of separating non-petroleum contaminants and thereby purifying water and debris from contaminated AVGAS and jet fuel. This allows extracted fuel to be put back into the aircraft fuel tank and not on the ground, without the fear of reintroducing contaminants back into the fuel system. It also gives a visual display of jet fuel grade and octane, including Jet A fuel, automotive gasoline and diesel fuel.

    Storage

    The GATS jar comes packaged in a reusable plastic bag. Save this bag to put the tester into after each use, when it is stored in the cabin during flight.
