The Band Scope allows viewing of operating activity on channels above or below the

current operating channel in the VFO mode.

The display will indicate the relative signal strengths of signals on channels immediately

adjacent to the current operating frequency. A convenient "Channel marker" can be used to

zero in on one of the stations displayed; when you turn off the Band Scope, the VR-5000

will be set to the frequency set by the Channel Marker.
