ABOUT - The 'opinional' VC-20 VHF Module
which covers 108 - 174 MHz so it allows the
receptionof Aviation transmissions in AM Mode
and VHF high transmissions which include the
2 Meter HAM, MARINE, WEATHER and Public
Service Broadcasts in FM Mode.

IMHO - The 'opinional' Kenwood VC-20 VHF Converter
is hard-to-find for sale on it's own then to find
a Kenwood R-5000 Receiver that has one a VC-20 VHF
Converter already installed in it for sale.

hope this helps ~ RHF
