Installation

The YAESU VR-120D is a high-performance miniature communications receiver provid-

ing general coverage reception from 100 kHz to 1299.995 MHz on the AM and FM (Wide

and Narrow bandwidths) modes; this coverage includes the AM and FM broadcast bands,

HF Short-wave Bands, VHF and UHF TV bands, the VHF AM aircraft band, and a wide

range of commercial and public safety frequencies!

The VR-120D 's small size allows you to take it anywhere - hiking, skiing, or while walk-

ing around town, and its operating flexibility brings the user many avenues of operating

enjoyment.

Operation of the VR-120D can be greatly simplified by utilizing the "PRESET" mode.

The "PRESET" mode provides twelve "starting point" frequencies (one frequency in each

of twelve popular listening bands), from which you may then begin manual tuning. Exten-

sive Memory features, including special Shortwave Broadcast memories, make worldwide

listening enjoyable and effortless.

We appreciate your purchase of the VR-120D , and encourage you to read this manual

thoroughly, so as to learn about the many exciting features of your exciting new YAESU

communications receiver!
