Submersible

The VXA-710's case, speaker enclosure, and controls are carefully sealed against water ingress, allowing the transceiver to be specified for protection against water ingress per JIS-7 specifications(3 feet for 30 minutes).

Rugged Magnesium Die-Cast Construction

The unmatched ruggedness of the VXA-710 is coupled with ultra light weight, due to the die-cast magnesium case and chassis construction. Rubber bumpers on the bottom corners of the case protect it against damage from every day bumps and scrapes.

Supplied Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery

The VXA-710 is supplied with a super-long life 7.4v, 1300 mAH Lithium-Ion Battery Pack providing many hours of operation and reliable charging without the "memory" effects that can plague other battery types.

Receive Battery Saver

This feature helps maximize battery life by de-energizing the receiver section during periods of no activity, waking the receiver up at user-selected intervals to sample for channel activity. If no activity is detected, the VXA-710 goes back into "sleep" mode. Current consumption is significantly reduced, thereby maximizing battery life.

Multi-Color Strobe LED Status Indicator

Among the more innovative features introduced in the VXA-710 is the full color Strobe LED, which provides indication of a number of transceiver status items using different colors. Different colors may be selected for each of condition. A total of 256 color shades are available for customizing.
