Operation
Reception of AM signals in the aeronautical band (108-137 MHz) is similar to that de-
scribed in the previous section.
Press the [ BAND ( SET ) AR] key repetitively until you see a frequency in the aeronau-
tical band.
Be sure that the VX-5R is set to the VFO mode (either "
the left side of the display), and that "
ƒ
Rotate the DIAL to tune across the aeronautical band.
You may also use the keypad to enter frequencies directly. Remember that frequencies
quoted by aircraft operators may be abbreviated, and that the "5" at the end of a fre-
quency may be dropped. Since aeronautical channels are assigned in 25-kHz steps,
therefore, a frequency announced as "thirty-two, forty-two" corresponds to an operat-
ing frequency of 132.425 MHz.
FM B
The VX-5R also includes provision for reception in the FM broadcast band, utilizing a
wide-bandwidth filter which provides excellent fidelity.
To Activate FM Broadcast Reception
Press the [ BAND ( SET ) AR ] key repetitively until a frequency in the FM broadcast
band appears on the display. The total frequency range included in the "FM" band is
59-108 MHz.
Be sure you are in the VFO mode (press the [ VFO ( DW ) SC ] key if not), and that W-
FM (Wide-bandwidth FM) is indicated as the operating mode.

Rotate the DIAL to select the desired station. The default synthesizer steps for the W-
FM mode are 100 kHz/step.
To Activate VHF or UHF TV Audio Reception

bands appears on the LCD.
Be sure you are in the VFO mode (press the [ VFO ( DW ) SC ] key if not).
