A special bank of twelve
"Preset Mode" memories is provided, giving you a starting point for tuning
within the available bands. These frequencies are chosen for maximum convenience
in finding the action, so you won't have far to tune when you're searching for
excitement! The Preset Mode channel frequencies are:

ULTRA-LONG
BATTERY LIFE! |
|
CATCH ALL
THE SHORTWAVE BROADCAST ACTION FROM AROUND THE WORLD!
|
| When
you're out in the field, and can't afford to miss out on weather information,
long battery life in your receiver is essential. The VR-120, especially designed
for low current consumption, can provide up to 20 hours of operation on a pair
of "AA" alkaline cells (at 40 mW audio output), and the Battery Saver feature
cuts battery consumption dramatically when no signals are being received. An
icon on the LCD indicates when the batteries are getting low, alerting you to
the need to replace them. |
|
You' II never have to wait for "News at Eleven" when you carry the VR-120
with you! Hear exciting shortwave broadcasts from around the world, including
Voice of America, BBC, Radio Japan, Deutsche Welle, and countless others, and
take advantage of the special Shortwave Broadcast 89-channel Memory Bank for
quick checking of 23 popular World Band stations. |

antennas, the VR-120's top panel is equipped with a handy BNC-type antenna
connector |
| |
|
The VR-120 includes a
versatile 640-channel Memory system, which allows partitioning of the channels
into ten "Banks" of 64 channels each. You can g roup shortwave broadcast, FM
broadcast, Public Safety, and Amateur Radio channels separately, for maximum

SUPER-SIMPLE ONE-TOUCH MEMORIES FOR HIGH PRIORITY STATIONS!
|
| The no-nonsense
front panel of the VR-120 contains four large keys which are used for command of
the receiver's many operating functions. These keys, the Function key on the
side, and the Main Tuning Knob are all you need to tune in on the DX action! The
display and function keys are fully illuminated, for ease of operation at night.
|
| |
|
You can set up the VR-120 so
that four high-priority stations may be recalled from special memory channels,
using a single press of one of the front panel keys. The four buttons which may
be utilized, and the corresponding memory channels, are:

The VR-120 provides
continuous coverage of the frequency range 0.1-1299.995 MHz (cellular
frequencies are blocked and non-restorable). When you set a frequency, the
operating mode (AM/FM/Wide-FM) and channel steps appropriate for that frequency
range are automatically selected, for ease in tuning around in search of other
stations. Of course, you can manually select the mode and tuning steps, if you
have other requirements in that tuning range. The available tuning ranges are:
|

Efficient scanning is
the key to any receiver's performance, and the VR-120 is a champion when it
comes to scanning! A special "Search Band Scanning" function assigns seven
memory channels as scanning limits, and for skipping particular frequencies a
64-channel "Skip memory bank lets you tune past stations you don't need to
monitor. Among the Memory Scan features are:
- Full Memory
Scan
- Memory Bank

- Selected Memory
Channel ("Preferential") Scan
- Programmable
Band-Limit Memory Scan (PMS)
- Smart Search¢â
(Automatic Memory Loading)
- Priority Channel

AND MUCH,
MUCH MORE. |
|
The VR-120 includes a
"Channel Counter" feature, which measures the frequency of a very strong signal
in your immediate vicinity, allowing you to zero in manually on the other
station's frequency.
And if you experience a lull
in the monitoring action, play the VR-120 Slot Machine Game! A three-column
random-number generator lets you match your wits against the VR-120's
microprocessor in an amusing game of chance |
