The optional FBA-20 alkaline battery adapter allows for a power output of 100 mW, using a single "AA" cell Wide Band Receive. Besides being a full-featured Dual-Band Amateur transceiver, the VX-1R provides extraordinarily wide frequency coverage of 500-1700 kHz plus 76 - 999 MHz (cellular blocked), which includes AM BC, FM BC, public safety, and audio from most TV channels. The operating mode (AM, FM-Narrow, FM-Wide) is automatically preset according to the frequency selected, and you'll marvel at the great audio on the FM broadcast band!
291 Memory Channels
The VX-1R's extensive memory system includes two main channel groups, with different operating capabiities. Group 1 (52 channels) can store simplex or semi-duplex frequencies (odd splits), CTCSS/DCS tone mode and frequency, power output, and 6-digit alpha-numeric labels. Group 2 (142 channels) stores frequency plus standard repeater offsets, CTCSS/DCS tone mode, power output level, and alpha-numeric labsls. Additionally, 31 Smart Search™ memory channels, 10 pairs of band-limit memories, and ten dedicated AM broadcast memories bring the total memory capacity up to 291 channels!
Dual Watch
The VX-1R's Dual Watch feature lets you monitor a main operating frequency while periodically checking a second frequency for activity. If a station appears on the "Dual Watch" frequency, the transceiver will lock onto that frequency so you can respond to the calling station.
