Vertex VRD Scanner

The Yaesu (Vertex) VR-120D is a very compact wideband receiver covering 100 kHz to 1299.995 MHz, in AM, FM-Narrow and FM-Wide. You get a tremendous frequency range of reception. Enjoy 640 memories (10 banks at 64) including 4 priority channels. Alphanumeric tagging (up to 8 characters) is supported.

Efficient scanning is the key to any receiver's performance and the VR-120 is the champion when it comes to scanning. A special Search Band Scanning function assigns seven memory channels as scanning limits, and for skipping a particular frequencies, a 64 channel Skip memory bank lets you tune past stations that you do not wish to monitor. Among the Memory scan features are: Full Memory Scan, Memory Bank Scan, Selected Memory Channel Scan, Programmable Band-Limit Memory Scan, Smart Search, Priority Channel Watch & Dual Watch. Manual tuning can also be accomplished via the tuning knob. The VR-120D even comes with a special bank of preprogrammed shortwave stations

A built-in AM antenna insures good medium wave performance, often lacking in wideband radios. Selectivity is 16 kHz for AM/FM and 200 kHz for FM wide. Triple conversion.
The VR-120D 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-120D Slot Machine Game! A three-column random-number generator lets you match your wits against the VR-120D's microprocessor in an amusing game of chance.
