Ordering Guide

Important Notes

1. Custom Filtering: Only the frequency plans shown in this ordering guide are available as standard configurations. For custom filtering, please contact a Sales Solution Specialist for assistance.
2. Frequencies Required: VRX1000 frequencies must be specified when placing an order. If an in-band filter is ordered it is custom tuned and cannot be re-tuned in the field.
3. Delivery Time: Standard VRX1000 delivery time is 22-24 weeks after receipt of a purchase order and a valid frequency plan. Frequency information must be accurate and in accordance with the frequency plan requirements described in this document in order to avoid delays.
4. Control Heads: The APX'” Mobile radio can operate with up to two control heads while interfaced to a VRX1000.
5. MSU Transmit Power: In all In-Band configurations, the MSU Transmit power must not exceed 50 Watts on DVRS Enabled MSU Modes due to the in-band filters’ power rating. The in-band filters connected to the MSU have typical insertion loss of 1.5dB
6. Subscriber Options: APX'” Mobile Radios operating as the host mobile for the VRX1000 require subscriber option GA00631 for operation. APX™ Portable Radios operating through a VRX1000, utilizing the P25 Enhanced feature set require subscriber option QA00631.

Mobile Radio Type

Compatible Mobile Radios
Please refer to the Compatibility Charts under the Firmware section for complete information.
When Pairing with an APX™BS00 Mobile Radio

1. Interface Kits: Depending on the isolation available between the APX™ BS00 mobile and VRX1000 antennas, an interface kit may be required. Download the Interface Kit Selection tool under the Ordering Guide header to determine which (if any) kit and installation drawing is required.
   NOTE : For quoting purposes, the No Kit option may be selected but note that there is an additional cost if an interface kit is determined to be required later.

2. Required Y Cable: One of the following Y cables are required:

   • Without SmartConnect- GA01515 (or KT000247 A01 as standalone accessory)
   • splits the J2 into J2 and J600(DB25)
   • With SmartConnect- GA01779 (or KT000247A04 as standalone accessory)
   • allows RS232 and USB line to be used concurrently

How to Interpret a Frequency Plan Diagram

Below is an example of a frequency plan with the set of rules that must be met for it to be a valid selection. For this example, additional color coding was added for clarity.

7001800MHz Frequency Plan Example

• Ensure the VRX1 000 and System/Mobile frequencies are within the Valid frequency range (MHz)
  • X/ VRX TX/Rx 769-773
  • X/ MSU Rx Range 1 773-775
  • X/ MSU Tx Range 2 806-824
  • MSU Tx Range 1 799-805
  • MSU Rx Range 2 851-869
• Ensure the Minimum separation (MHz) frequency requirements are met
  • at least 3MHz between the highest VRX Tx/Rx frequency and lowest MSU Rx Range 1 frequency
• Ensure the Maximum bandpass (MHz) is not exceeded
  • difference between the highest – lowest VRX Tx/Rx frequencies must be less than or equal to 1 MHz

Preparing a Quote Without Customer Frequencies
If preparing a quote before customer frequencies are known, please use the following:

Frequency Band (MHz)| Operation Mode| Frequency Plan| Lowest VRX1000

NOTE: This will allow the quoting process to continue but the order cannot be placed until the correct frequency plan and exact frequencies have been entered.

Selecting a Frequency Plan

Standard Frequency Plans
When the customer frequencies are known, follow the specified frequency requirements in the set of standard frequency plan diagrams to select the correct plan.
Custom Frequency Plans
When customer frequencies cannot meet all of the requirements of a standard frequency plan, this is a custom request. Please contact a Sales Solution Specialist to determine if a custom frequency plan is viable. If viable, a per unit custom charge is applicable.
