The VR-5000 This is a high-performance base/mobile communications receiver providing general coverage reception from 100 kHz to 2600 MHz continuous with variable channel steps and modes of CW, SSB (LSB and USB), AM, Narrow AM, Wide AM, Narrow FM and Wide FM. The VR-5000 has 2000 memory channels which can be managed in numerous ways. Text descriptions can be assigned to each memory channel and group to ease identification. The VR-5000 has five (5) special PreSet memories provide one-touch access to favorite channels, such as local AM broadcast stations. Just press the large PS key on the front panel to step through the PreSet channels! The VR-5000's versatile scanning system allows lightning-fast scanning of operating frequencies, so you won't miss any of the excitement on the bands! The scanner allows you to select from three scan-resume options, too: "Delay" Scan, which Iets scanning resume after a programmed interval Of waiting:on:annn active channel; "Pause" Scan, which holds on an active channel until the incoming signal disappears; and "Hold" Scan, whereby scanning stops when activity is encountered. There is a wide array of scanning features available to the VR-5000 user. Many more advanced features are avaiable including a dual Receive cabapbility - when monitoring on the "main" displayed frequency, you can simultaneously listen to a second station operating within 20 MHz of the main frequency in the AM and FM-Narrow modes. This can be especially helpful while monitoring public safety communications. The optional DSP-1 Digital Signal Processing Unit includes a number of features which can significantly enhance reception through improved interference rejection whilst the optional FVS-1 Voice synthesizer option enables an audible announcement of the current main band operating frequency. Many other features are available including:
