Field Strength Meter - Yaesu VR-5000 Operating Manual

2. Select the monitoring memory channel ("DVR ch1" or "DVR ch2") by pressing the
[ MODE ( ADRS )] key.
3. Press the [ F ] key momentarily, then press the [ STEP ( PLAY )] key to start the monitor.
Notes:
• If you select the "DVR ch1" channel for playback, it will play back audio for 16 seconds
(irrespective of the actual recording time).
• If you select the "DVR ch2" channel for playback, it will play back audio for 8 seconds
(irrespective of the actual recording time).
The VR-5000 can provide display of the relative receiving signal strength on the LCD,
compared to some user-defined "baseline" field strength.
1. Press the [ F ] key momentarily, then press the [ 4 ( SPL )] key.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the cursor to the "BASE FIELD STRENGTH" menu option,
then press the [ ENT ( SET )] key.
3. You will now observe the display of the cur-
rent signal strength ("CURRENT" row) and its
peak level ("REFERENCE" row). The first time
this is done, these levels will be the same (al-
though the "CURRENT" level will appear to
have a very slightly lower value, due to the
"damping" in the metering).
4. If you are resetting the reference level, press the [ 0 ( NB )] key to equalize the peak level
to the current signal strength.
5. To cancel the Field Strength Meter displays the [ ENT ( SET )] key momentarily; this
will save the peak level and let you exit to the menu mode.
6. Confirm that the cursor is on the "CANCEL" menu selection, then press the [ ENT ( SET )]
key to exit to normal operation.
If you want to display the current signal level (for example, on a different channel), com-
pared to the reference level, use the following process:
1. Press the [ F ] key momentarily, then press the [ 4 ( SPL )] key.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the cursor to the "CURRENT FIELD STR." menu option,
then press the [ ENT ( SET )] key.
3. The current signal strength ("CURRENT" row) and the memorized peak level ("REF-
ERENCE" row) will be displayed.
4. To cancel the Field Strength Meter display, press the [ ENT ( SET )] key momentarily, to
save the peak level and exit to menu mode.
5. Confirm that the cursor is on the "CANCEL" menu, then press the [ ENT ( SET )] key to
exit to the normal operation.
