Mixed Mode -- Seamlessly switch between analog to P25 digital mode on each channel based on call type received and on programming for transmit.

Enhanced Voice Quality -- Featuring the AMBE 2™ Vocoder, get exceptional voice quality in both digital P25 and narrow-band modes of operation.

Connectivity Assurance -- The RSSI warning emits an audible alert when the receive signal strength drops to a level not suitable for reliable communications.

Additional P25 Mode Features:

• Caller ID Display (w/LCD) 
• BCLO, TOT Functions

Intrinsically Safe

The VX-P920/P970 series is offered in intrinsically safe options that meet the SGS requirements of ANSI/UL913 6th Edition for Class I, Division I, Groups A-D, Class II, Groups E-G and Class III for use in hazardous locations.
