VERSATILE SQUELCH / MONITOR KEY
Many compact receivers do not allow easy monitoring of weak
signals. The VR-500, however, includes both a manual
Squelch control (on the top panel) and a pushbutton Monitor
key, which allows you to "open" the Squelch and listen for
weak signals near the background noise level. Whether you're
listening from a noisy or quiet location, the VR-500 has the
adjustment capability you need!
CONVENIENT "PRESET"
OPERATING MODE
For maximum convenience in beginning an operating season,
the VR-500 includes a "PRESET" operating mode, which
consists of ten pre-programmed starting frequencies,
complete with appropriate listening modes and channel
steps. Once you've touched a key to select a PRESET band,
you may then use the main tuning knob to move around the
operating band you've selected. Included in the PRESET
bands are the following selections:
"Preset Mode"
Channel Number Pre-Programmable Frequency
１ 0.5200 MHz (AM)
２ 3.5000 MHz (LSB)
３ 7.0000 MHz (LSB)
４ 14.0000 MHz (USB)
５ 50.0000 MHz (CW)

HUGE 1091-CHANNEL MEMORY
SYSTEM WITH SEARCH & SCAN
The VR-500's Memory System includes a whopping 1091 total
memories, with 1000 of these being "regular" memories and
the balance being utilized for special features. The memories
may be scanned at a rate of 12 channels per second, so you
can keep up with the monitoring action.
●
Regular Memories (1000 Channels)
The memory channels of the VR-500 store frequency and
operating mode (USB, AM, WFM, etc.), and are partitioned
into ten Memory Banks, each capable of holding up to 100
channels. You may label each memory with an
Alpha/Numeric "Tag" of up to eight characters each, for easy
channel recognition as you operate. Within the Memory
System, you can scan only "flagged" memories (Preferential
Memory Scan), scan only within the current memory bank
(Bank Scan), or scan just for stations on a particular mode,
like NFM (Mode Scan).
● Search Band Memories (10 Channels)
For "VFO" scanning within user-programmed band limits, the
VR-500 provides ten such frequency pairs. The VR-500 will
search for activity at a rate of 24 channels per second, and
参考
continue to loop within the preset band limits until you exit
this operating mode.
● Preset Channel Memories (19 Channels + 10 Weather
Channels)
Included in the "Preset" mode are 19 "starting point" memories
for operation in the Preset mode, plus a "Weather" memory
slot, which allows selection of any of the standard weather
broadcast channels.
● Dual Watch Memories (10 Channels)
The Dual Watch feature allows you to monitor two frequencies,
with the VR-500 rapidly switching between the two channels,
looking for activity. The VR-500 will halt when one of the
channels becomes occupied, and will resume when the
activity ceases.

● Smart Search™ Memories (11/21/31/41 Channels)
The Smart Search™ function causes the VR-500 to sweep
the band, looking for channel activity. When occupied
channels are found, the VR-500 will automatically note the
frequency without stopping; thereafter, you may return to the
newly-memorized channels by rotating the main tuning knob.
The size of the Smart Search™ Memory Bank may be set to
11, 21, 31 or 41 channels.
