VXA-100 Aviator Pilot


Please note this information has been taken directly from Vertex. The URL is provided at the bottom of the page.

The Aviator receives all 10 weather report broadcast channels from the NOAA. To make operation easier the Aviator will automatically begin scanning when the weather band is activated and find the closest NOAA weather station. If more than one station is available in your area you can simply press the PTT switch momentarily and the aviator will find any other active NOAA weather stations. The Aviator will also remember which weather station that you were monitoring last.

Setting the more advanced features of an airband transceiver has never been easier.
3 Way Display Titling
Only the Aviator allows you one keystroke access to 3 different methods of display titling : Frequency, Channel number (WX, memory and Book memory) or Alpha-Numeric (memory and Book memory).
Dual Watch and Priority Dual Watch
The Aviator allows you to scan between two active frequencies (memory channel 1 and other frequency).
