Smart Search
TM
The Smart Search
TM
feature allows you to load frequencies automatically according to where
activity is encountered by your radio. This feature is especially helpful when visiting a new city,
where you may not know the frequencies of active stations. The
VR-120D
includes a special 21-
channel Smart Search
TM
Memory Bank which is separate from the main memory system.
