Professional features, professional ergonomics, and professional DSPbased selectivity* are yours to enjoy today-and only from Yaesu! *Optional DSP-1 Unit required
ULTRA-CONVENIENT AUTOMODE, AUTO-STEP, HIGHPERFORMANCE RECEIVER!
Despite its incredibly compact size, the VR-5000 provides coverage of 100 kHz through 2599.99998 MHz (cellular frequencies are blocked) on all popular operating modes: LSB, USB, CW, AM-Narrow, AM, Wide AM, FM-Narrow, and Wide FM. Making operation simple and efficient is the "Auto" mode, whereby the tuning steps and operating mode are automatically programmed according to the frequency you have selected. You won' t miss those quick, important transmissions with the VR-5000! Dual Receive 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. Russia, etc. The operating frequencies may be changed by the owner, to keep up with changing station schedules! Alarm Timer The VR-5000 also includes a handy Alarm Clock feature, which will wake you up via a broadcast ( Radio Alarm ) or a beeping tone( Beep Alarm ). Sleep Timer Go to sleep listening to your favorite program! The VR- 5000 can be set to shut off after 30/60/90/120 minutes. It' s a great way to begin a great night' s sleep!
WORLD CLOCK WITH UTC/LOCAL SETTINGS AND PROGRAMMABLE TIMER
The World Clock will show you local time anywhere in the world, and you can label the cities in each time zone according to your individual requirements. Program Timer Don' t miss important broadcasts while you' re busy monitoring other frequencies! With the Program Timer feature, the VR-5000 will automatically switch to a designated frequency at a programmed time, ensuring that you don' t miss an important broadcast.
REAL-TIME SPECTRUM SCOPE FOR VISUAL ACTIVITY VIEWING
To aid in finding band activity, the VR-5000' s Real-Time Band Scope, used while operating in the "VFO" mode, will sweep the band in search of activity, displaying the received signals graphically according to frequency and signal strength. The sweep width may be set to 100/200/250/300/500 kHz and up to 1/2/2.5/5/10 MHz, and you can also adjust the sweep steps for best resolution in the frequency range being observed!
Preset Shortwave Broadcast Station Memory Bank Featuring a handy world map showing the station' s location, the special Shortwave Broadcast Station Memory Bank includes several different frequencies from a number of popular shortwave stations, including Voice of America, the BBC, Radio Japan, Voice of
NEW! RADIO-CONTROL BAND SEARCH
For checking activity on popular radio-control frequencies, a special graphical display feature is available for the U.S., British, and Japanese RC frequency banks. This feature is ideal for monitoring activity during races, and you have a selection of " Surface," "Aircraft," and "27 MHz" frequency graphs.
CATCH ALL THE ACTION WITH THE VR-5000 S EXTENSIVE SCANNING CAPABILITY!
The VR-5000' s versatile scanning system allows lightning-fast sweeping 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 lets scanning resume after a programmed interval of waiting on an 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: VFO Scan Sweeps the entire frequency range of the receiver (0.1 ~ 2599.99998 MHz). Memory Scan Choose from scanning of all memory channels, or channels within a particular memory group. PMS (Programmable Memory Scan) Scan within user-defined band limits, as though you were on a VFO. As many as 100 band-limit memories may be utilized for the setting of scanning borders. Smart SearchTM Automatically loads up to 100 channels where activity is found. Main-Sub Two-Channel Scanning Allows watching of the Main and Sub VFO frequencies without listening to them simultaneously. Priority Operation Allows operation on one channel while periodically watching a "Priority" channel for activity. Operation will shift to the Priority channel if it becomes active.

AND MUCH, MUCH MORE.

"RF Tune" Front-end preselection bandpass filter (1.8 ~ 1000 MHz) for excellent rejection of out-ofband signals. 20 dB Attenuator for comfortable reception of extremely strong signals. IF Noise Blanker for reduction of impulse noise. Optional DVS-4 Digital Voice Recorder provides two recording memories of 8 seconds each. Optional FVS-1A Voice Synthesizer provides audible announcement of the operating frequency for owners with vision impairments. 10.7 MHz IF Output Jack for decoding of FM stereo broadcasts. Field Strength Meter for comparison of peak signal strength as compared to a reference level. Audio Tone Control. All-Mode Squelch Control for silent monitoring in "standby" mode. Passwordcontrolled Panel and Dial "Lock" feature to avoid unauthorized frequency change. Front Panel Key"Beep"On/Off selection.Display Dimmer/Contrast Control. Clone Capability for copying memory information from one VR-5000 to another. Personal Computer Interface Port with serial data speed selection of 4800/9600/ 57600 bps. Two Antenna Ports: One for "Long Wire" type antenna, one "M" ( SO-239 ) connector. Audio Wave Meter provides display of incoming signal' s wave characteristics.

MUNICATIONS RECEIVER

POWERFUL MEMORY SYSTEM PROVIDES 2000 CHANNELS OF OPERATING VERSATILITY!
The incredible 2000-channel memory capacity of the VR-5000 allows an astounding array of operating possibilities! The memories may be arranged in up to 100 Memory Groups, and you can attach an alpha-numeric label to both Memory Channels and Memory Groups to aid in channel identification. The memories store operating frequency, noise blanker status, and DSP information separately, so each channel is optimized for best reception.And the VR-5000 provides a number of other special memory features: PS (PreSet) Memories Five 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! Graphical Memory Display (PMR) For monitoring activity patterns on up to 50 channels, use the Programmable Memory Readout display mode. Similar to the RC Graphical Display mode, the PMR Display mode will show active channels as a black square on the display' s memory matrix, allowing you to gauge activity levels while investigating possible operating frequencies.

Memory Over-write Protection Mode Prevents accidental erasure of channel information.Memory Offset Tuning Allows tuning away from a memorized frequency in a pseudo-VFO mode.Memory-Skip during Scanning Prevents annoying lock-up of scanning on Weather-alert and other broadcast stations.Memory Sort Mode Sort according to channel name, ascending/ descending frequency, or operating mode.
DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR LEADING-EDGE SELECTIVITY
The optional DSP-1 Digital Signal Processing Unit includes a number of features which can significantly enhance reception through improved interference rejection. Digital Bandpass Filter (SSB/AM/FM Modes) Provides razor-sharp selectivity for reducing adjacentfrequency interference and for shaping of the incoming station' s audio frequency response. Both the lowcut and high-cut frequencies of the DSP Bandpass Filter are adjustable. Digital Noise Reduction Filter The DSP will analyze the incoming passband and suppress noise which is not directly associated with the incoming signal, providing quieter reception. Digital Notch Filter Automatically notches out annoying "beat" signals ("heterodynes") which can spoil reception, especially during Shortwave operation. CW Narrow-Bandwidth Peaking Filter Provides ultra-narrow bandwidths of 25/100/200/ 400 Hz for single-signal reception. CW Tone Pitch Control Allows you to adjust the center frequency of the CW filter for most comfortable reception.
