VR-160 OPERATING MANUAL 1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The YAESU VR-160 is a high-performance micro-miniature communications receiver
covering frequencies from 100 kHz to 1299.995 MHz on the AM and FM (Wide and
Narrow bandwidths) modes. 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 incredibly small size allows you to take it anywhere - hiking, skiing, or walking around
town. Its operating flexibility brings the user many avenues of listening enjoyment. The
tiny FNB-82LI Lithium-Ion Battery Pack provides more than 20 hours of receiver opera-
tion.
The VR-160 internal antenna bar provides good AM broadcast reception without the need
of an external antenna.
The large High-resolution Dot Matrix LCD display provides clear, easily read frequency
indication. The Band Scope function provides a high-resolution display of the relative
signal strengths of up to ±50 adjacent channels!
Additional features include the CTCSS and DCS squelch system, which help prevent false
activation of the receiver by radar or spurious signals from other transmitters. A security
Password may be set, which will allow you to turn on and operate your radio only after the
Password is entered.
The S-Meter Squelch may be adjusted to open at a programmed signal level, thus reducing
guesswork in setting the squelch threshold.
Additional equipment may be connected to the top panel ACC jack for expanded opera-
tion.
We appreciate your purchase of the VR-160, and encourage you to read this manual thor-
oughly, to learn about the many exciting features of your new YAESU communications
receiver!
