You right, I DID forget the CW. Narrow AM is a MUST, both on AM and SW.

For anyone who doesn't know, here's how to input the NAM function:

Press and hold 0,3,5,9 while turning the radio on. That's it. When you go to
the menu pages, you'll find it there and you can turn it on and off at will.
Didn't mention it before, but there is a good FREE program out there that
will let you program the radio through your computer and adds NAM as well.

Does the VR-120D have USB/LSB? I thought it didn't, one reason I bought the
'500.

And I DID get a steal on mine. It was a good eBay bid.
