  • Page 6 Operating Manual Rotating the DIAL knob allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps established for the current receiving band. Clockwise rotation of the DIAL knob causes the VR-5000 to be turned toward a higher frequency, while counter clockwise rotation will lower the receiving frequency.
  • Page 7 USB …… Dual Receive The VR-5000 provides the two VFOs (MAIN VFO and SUB VFO) which operate the Dual Receive feature. However, the SUB VFO set only ±20 MHz bandwidth of the MAIN VFO frequency. For example: The MAIN VFO is set to 1280.000 MHz, the SUB VFO can be set to 1260.000 ~ 1300.000 MHz.
