Scanning
The VR-5000 allows you to scan just memory channels, the entire operating band, or a
portion of that band. It will halt on signals encountered, so you can listen to the station(s)
on that frequency, if you like.
Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the above modes. There are customized
settings for each scanning mode, however, that you need to set up according to your oper-
ating preferences. Before you begin, take a moment to select the way in which you...

PROGRAMMABLE (
BAND LIMIT)
 MEMORY SCAN (
PMS)
This feature a more refined and useful form of VFO scanning, allows you to establish sub-
band limits for scanning. This allows you to monitor only a portion of the wide frequency
range of the VR-5000, instead of sweeping the entire spectrum from 100 kHz to 2.6 GHz.
Programmable Memory Scan utilizes a pair of special memories to establish the upper and
lower scanning limits. Here is the procedure for setting up limited band...

Band Scope Operation
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.

Smart Search Operation
The Smart Search feature allows you to load frequencies automatically according to where
activity is encountered by your radio. Smart Search will sweep the band of frequencies
within the current “PMS” frequency pair (described previously), making a note of where
activity is encountered and automatically loading those frequencies into a special Smart
Search memory bank. The sweep will not pause on any of these busy channels, however;
the frequency will...
