Yaesu VR5000 Scanner

Despite its incredibly compact size, theVR-5000 provides coverage from 100 kHz to 2599.99998  MHz on all popular operating modes: LSB, USB, CW,AM-Narrow, AM, Wide AM, FM-Narrow, and Wide FM. Making operation simple and efficient is the "Auto" mode, whereby the tuning steps and operating mode are automatically programmed according to the frequency you have selected. You won't miss those quick, important transmissions with theVR-5000! 

When monitoring on the “main” displayed frequency, you can simultaneously listen to a second station operating within 20 MHz of the main frequency in the AM and FM-Narrow modes. This can be especially helpful while monitoring public safety communications.

Featuring a handy world map showing the station’s location, the special Shortwave Broadcast Station Memory Bank includes several different frequencies from a number of popular shortwave stations, including Voice of America, the BCC, Radio Japan, Voice of Russia, etc. The operating frequencies may be changed by the owner, to keep up with changing station schedules!

 

To aid in finding band activity, the VR-5000’s Real-Time Band Scope, used while operating in the “VFO” mode, will sweep the band in search of activity, displaying the received signals graphically according to frequency and signal strength. The sweep width may be set to 100/200/250/300/500 kHz and up to 1/2/2.5/5/10 MHz, and you can also adjust the sweep steps for best resolution in the frequency range being observed!
