VR-120 /VR120D
COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER

YAESU VR-120D
The VR120-D is the same model as the VR120 described here, but now with charge socket fitted.

Wideband Coverage: 0.1~1299.995* MHz AM/FM/Wide-FM
Professional-Grade Monitoring In the Field!
Attn. European Model with CE approval. NO GABS!!!

Rugged Outdoor-Ready Case Construction!

To survive the rigors of outdoor use, the VR-120 is housed in a durable, high-impact polycarbonate case, and it is protected against water ingress per JIS II specifications.

Ultra-Long Battery Life!

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.

BNC-Type Antenna Connector

For ease of making connections, and for maximum compatibility with after-market antennas, the VR-120's top panel is equipped with a handy BNC-type antenna connector.

Straightforward 4-Button Operation!

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.

Wideband Frequency Coverage
With Easy Access!

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.

Special "Preset Mode" Aids
in Quick Tuning!

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!

Catch All the Shortwave Broadcast Action From Around the World!

You'll 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.

Super-Simple One-Touch Memories
for High Priority Stations!

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:

Versatile 640-Channel Memory System!

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 group shortwave broadcast, FM broadcast, Public Safety, and Amateur Radio channels separately, for maximum tuning convenience!

Wide Selection of Scanning Modes!

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 Scan
• Selected Memory Channel ("Preferential") Scan
• Programmable Band-Limit Memory Scan (PMS)
• Smart SearchTM (Automatic Memory Loading)
• Priority Channel Watch
• Dual Watch

Expanded Fun and Games!

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.

Additional Informations:

VR-120 Receiver
1. Quick Selection of a frequency.
		Move in 1MHz steps Hold FUNC key whilst rotating the Dial knob. Move in Channel steps Rotate the Dial Knob

2. Select a Mode of operation.
		The VR-120 automatically selects the mode appropriate for the current frequency it is tuned to. Press the Mode button to cycle through the available modes. FM -> WFM -> AM -> AUTO -> FM
3. Change the Channel Steps
		Hold FUNC and press SCAN key to select the Set Menu function. Release the FUNC button. Rotate the Dial Knob to select MENU 100 Hold FUNC and rotate Dial Knob to select the desired Frequency Step in KHz. (5 - 6.25 -9-10- 12.5 -15-20-25-30-50 -100 - AUTO) Release FUNC when required Freq step is displayed. Press FUNC and SCAN key to store new frequency step and revert to normal operation.
4. Store a Frequency in Memory
		Radio has a total of 640 standard memory channels organised in 10 groups of up to 64 memory channels per group. Numbering is from 000 to 963. 1st number is the GROUP number and goes from 0 to 9. The 2nd and 3rd numbers, are the channel numbers and go from 00 to 63, a total of 64 channels per GROUP. Each Memory channel can store Frequency, Mode, AlphaTag of up to 8 characters.
	There are two forms of Memory storage.
		'SIMPLE'
		As it name implies simply stored freq etc data into the next free memory channel.
		'DESIGNATED'
		Allows you to store frequency data to a particular memory channel.
	SIMPLE Storage.
		Select Frequency and mode required as shown above. Hold FUNC and press and release V/M momentarily. Next memory channel is displayed Upper Left Hand side of display will show the memory channel data was stored into in channel numbers, eg 432 for Group 4 channel 32. Display will show MWNAM for Memory Write. To skip storing an alpha tag to the channel jump to step 13 below, Otherwise to store an alpha tag to the channel Hold FUNC and press and release SCAN. Release FUNC. Display shows blinking space in char position 1. Rotate DIAL knob to select character. Hold FUNC and rotate DIAL to next character position. Release FUNC. Display shows blinking space in next char position. Repeat steps 8 - 10 until alpha tag is completed.. Hold FUNC and press and release V/M momentarily to store Alphatag to memory channel. Still holding FUNC press and release V/M again momentarily to store the Frequency & Mode to the channel. To store another frequency simply repeat steps 1-13 as above.
	DESIGNATED Storage:
		Process is identical as above except after Step 2 insert the following: 2a. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired memory channel and group. To rapidly change the GROUP number, press and hold the FUNC key whilst rotating to DIAL knob.
5. Recall a memory.
		Press V/M to enter Memory mode if not already in memory mode. This is a toggle button between VFO and Memory mode. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the required memory channel. Hold FUNC and rotate DIAL to change the GROUP number quickly.
6: Memory Channel Scanning
	Simple Memory scanning:
		Select Memory mode by pressing V/M. Press the SCAN button. Radio will scan all channels in the memory and stop on any one that has activity. It will resume scanning depending upon the RESUME setting ( See User Guide Page 12) Press V/M to cancel scanning and revert to VFO mode.
	Preferential Memory Scanning.
		Scanning can be limited to specific channels only by designating them as Preferential Channels and starting a Preferential Channel scan as follows: Select Memory mode by pressing V/M. Select specific memory channel by rotating DIAL as required. Press and Hold SCAN button for 2 seconds . The PS icon will appear next to the channel number. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for other channels as required. To start PMS Scanning press SCAN for 2 seconds to initiate Preferential scanning. Press V/M to cancel scanning and revert to VFO mode.
