Memory Operation
The VR-5000 provides a wide variety of memory system resources. These include:

2000 main memory channels, which may be separated into as many as 100 memory groups.

50 sets of band-edge memories (also known as “Programmable Memory Scan” channels).

Five PS (Pre Set) memory channels, providing one-touch storage and recall of prime
receiving frequencies.

							VR-5000 OPERATING MANUAL26 Alpha-Numeric Memory Recall
You can use the VR-5000’s powerful microprocessor system to search for Memory Chan-
nels according to their alpha-numeric label. In the example below, we shall set up the VR-
5000 to find all channels programmed with “POLICE” as an alpha-numeric label (e.g.
POLICE 1, POLICE 2, etc.).
1. Press the [
V/M(
MW)]
 key, if needed, to enter the memory mode.
2. Press the [
WIDTH(
BS STEP)]
 key to enable setup of Alpha-Numeric Memory Re-
call.
3. Program the alpha-numeric “label” which you wish to recall, using the DIAL knob and
keypad, as described previously. In this case, program “POLICE” as the label.
Note: do not press [
ENT(
SET)]
  after completing entry of the desired “label” in this
instance.
4. Press the [
M/S(
SUB SET)
SORT]
 key, which will recall the first memory channel
beginning with “POLICE.” The channel found will appear at the bottom left-hand por-
tion of the display.
5. Press the [
M/S(
SUB SET)
SORT]
 key; you will observe that only channels beginning
with “POLICE” are appearing on the display.
6. When you find the desired memory channel, press the [
ENT(
SET)]
 key to recall that
channel.
Important Note: You can recall Memory Channels alpha-numerically using just one or
two letters of a label within above steps. In the above example, if you programmed “PO”
instead of “POLICE,” you could then recall channels such as “PONTIAC,” “PORTER,”
“PORTLAND,” and “POLAND” in addition to “POLICE.” But if you set “POR,” only
“PORTER” and PORTLAND” would be recalled.
PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY RECALL
The VR-5000 can be set up to monitor the activity on as many as 50 memory channels
simultaneously. For example, repeater system owners may wish to observe channel load-
ing on the various repeaters in the system, and the VR-5000 can assist in this effort. A
graphical representation of channel occupancy will be created, called the “PMR Board.”
When you install the memory channels you wish
to observe into the PMR Board, the VR-5000 will
monitor the activity on these channels simulta-
neously via a rapid search function.
Then an “indicator” will appear on the board, as
described below, letting you know that activity was
noted on that channel.
Memory Operation 
						

							VR-5000 OPERATING MANUAL27
To install a Memory Channel into the PMR Board:
1. Recall the memory channel which you wish to be monitoring for activity.
2. Press the [
F]
 key momentarily, then press the [
3(
S.SCH)]
 key.
3. The next-available PMR Board channel slot will be displayed, with an arrow alongside
it. Press the [

key to install the memory channel into the PMR Board.
6. Repeat steps 1 ~ 5 to install any other desired memory channels (up to 50 channels)
into the PMR Board.
To monitor the PMR Board:
Before commencing operation in this mode, be sure that the SQL control is set up so as to
quiet the background noise.
1. Press the [

MEMORY CHANNEL SORT
The VR-5000 can also sort the memory channels according to “Alpha-Numeric Name
Ta g,” “Frequency,” “Receive mode,” or “Channel Number.” When this is done, the
memory channel numbers will be re-arranged to reflect the new lineup of the memorized
channels.
Sorting by Alpha-Numeric Name Tag:
1. Recall the Memory mode.
2. Press the [
M/S(

quency.
Z -
> A: Arranges the memory channels from the highest frequency to the lowest fre-
quency.
4. Press the [
ENT(

 key to initiate the sort.
Sorting for the Receiving Mode:
In this configuration, the channels are sorted according to the way the  receiving modes
appear on the display; “A -
> Z” corresponds to “Left to Right” on the display, while “Z -
> A”
corresponds to “Right to Left” on the display.
1. Recall the Memory mode.
