This sale is for the DSP-1 optional module designed specifically for the Yaesu VR-5000 DC to daylight receiver.  The receiver is a marvel of design in that it can receive a wealth of frequencies in all the major listening modes.  We have one installed in each of our two family vehicles as it is the best receiver to enable us to listen to shortwave broadcasts while driving since it can pick up what we need to hear using an amateur radio 2 meter antenna for a receiving antenna.  Other shortwave receivers are more prone to ignition noise and do not perform well using such a short antenna.

We have sold a number of VR-5000 receivers with a couple of them having the DSP-1 installed.  However, we less commonly have a chance to offer the DSP-1 separately.  Thus, if you have the VR-5000, you may find this DSP-1 a challenge to locate for purchase.

If you own the VR-5000 receiver, the DSP-1 option can really expand the VR-5000's capabilities and performance.  Specifically it offers:

• Digital Bandpass Filter (SSB/AM/FM Modes) - Provides razor sharp selectivity for reducing adjacent frequency interference and for shaping of the incoming station's audio frequency response.  Both the low-cut and high-cut frequencies of the DSP Bandpass Filter are adjustable.
• Digital Noise Reduction Filter - The DSP will analyze the incoming passband and suppress noise which is not directly associated with the incoming signal, and thus, providing quieter reception.
• Digital Notch Filter - Automatically notches out annoying "beat" signals (heterodynes) which can spoil reception, especially during shortwave reception.
• CW Narrow-Bandwidth Peaking Filter - Provides ultra narrow bandwidths of 25/100/200/400 Hz for razor thin single-signal reception.
• CW Tone Pitch Control - Allows you to adjust the center frequency of the CW filter for the most comfortable reception.

As you can see, this DSP-1 enhances, expands, and modernizes the VR-5000.  Installation is easy and the operation information is contained within the VR-5000 user manual.  To install, you merely remove the bottom cover of the receiver, plug in the unit, and affix it using the 4 supplied screws.  Then you replace the cover.  No soldering is required.
