Press F and scan while powering
on radio. Press scan to cycle through the settings.

anything, because a signal generator is needed to make
adjustments...
Yasesu has supplied the
following replacement page to the VR-5000 manual correcting
the procedure to be followed for doing a programmable memory
scan.
Programmable (Band Limit) Memory Scan (PMS)
This
feature, a more refined and useful form of VFO scanning, allows
you to establish sub-band limits for scanning. This allows you
to monitor only a portion of the wide frequency range of the
VR-5000, instead of sweeping the entire spectrum from 100 kHz to
2.6 GHz.
Programmable
Memory Scan utilizes a pair of frequencies to establish the
upper and lower scanning limits within special memories. Here is
the procedure for setting up limited band scanning:
Programming
1. Press
the [F] key momentarily, then press the [PMS(PMS SET)] key to
enable the storage of the frequency pair into a PMS memory.
2. The
cursor will be pointing at the €œPMS CH€ menu option; press
the [ENT(SET)] key.
3. If you
want to program the frequency pair into the currently-selected
PMS register (shown on the right edge of the display), proceed
to the next step; if you wish to choose a different
PMS register, press [ENT(SET)], then use the [q(t)/p(u)] keys to
select a different memory register number. Then press [ENT(SET)]
to move on to the next step.
4. Rotate
the DIAL knob to set the cursor to the €œPMS TAG€ menu
option.
5. Press
the [ENT(SET)] key to enable the programming of the name tag to
the PMS memory. To attach an alpha/numeric name tag to the PMS
memory, program the alpha -numeric €œlabel€ using the DIAL
knob and keypad, as described previously; if you don€™t want to
label this frequency pair register, press the [ENT(SET)] key
again.
6. When you
have complete the creation of the label, press the [ENT(SET)]
key.
7. Now it€™s
time to set up the band limits. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the
cursor to the €œSTART F€ menu option, then press the [ENT(SET)]
key.
8. Set the
VFO frequency to the Lower sub-band limit, then press the [ENT(SET)]
key.If you programmed the frequency using the keypad, press the
[ENT(SET)] key again.
9. Confirm
that the cursor is on the €œEND F€ menu, then press the [ENT(SET)]
key.
10. Set the
VFO frequency to the Upper sub-band limit, then press the [ENT(SET)]
key.If you programmed the frequency using the keypad, press the
[ENT(SET)] key again.
11 Rotate
the DIAL knob to set the cursor to the €œEND€ menu option,
then press the [ENT(SET)] key.
12. Confirm
that the cursor is on the €œWRITE€ menu option, press the [ENT(SET)]
key.
13. The PMS
memory programming process for this register is now completed.
Note: 50 PMS
memories are available. You therefore can set upper and lower
operation limits on a number of bands, if you like. Each PMS
memory register, remember, stores both the lower and upper
frequency limits.
Operation
(Current PMS Register)
1 Press the
[PMS(PMS SET)] key to initiate PMS scanning in an upward
direction.
2. If the
scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch,
the scanner will halt and pause on that frequency. Scanning will
resume according to the protocol you selected in the previous
discussion.
3. To
change to a different PMS frequency pair, press the numerical
keys on the keypad corresponding to the PMS register you wish to
use. For example, if you are on PMS register and wish to use PMS
register €œ03,€ press [0] + [3] while PMS scanning is
engaged. Scanning will begin on the new register without further
action.
4. To
reverse the direction of the scan (i.e. toward a lower
frequency, instead of a higher frequency), turn the DIAL knob
one click in the counter-clock direction or press the [q(t)]
key momentarily while the VR-5000 is scanning. To revert to
scanning toward a higher frequency once more, rotate the DIAL
knob one click clockwise or press the [p(u)] key momentarily.
5. Press
the [V/M(MW)] key to disable the PMS scanner, and return to VFO
mode.
