VAC---- ( Volts Alternating Current. )

VADCG---- ( Vancouver Amateur Digital Communications Group. )

Valve---- ( Tube. )

Variable Capacitor---- ( A capacitor that can have its value changed within a certain range. )

Variable-frequency Oscillator (VFO)---- ( An oscillator used in receivers and transmitters. The frequency is set by a tuned circuit using capacitors and inductors. The frequency can be changed by adjusting the components in the tuned circuit. )

Variable Resistor---- ( A resistor whose value can be adjusted over a certain range, without removing it from a circuit. )

Varistor---- ( A surge suppression device used to absorb transients and spikes occurring on the power lines, thereby protect electronic equipment plugged inro that line. Frequently, the trem MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) is used instead. )

VCO---- ( Voltage-controlled oscillator. )

VCR---- ( Video cassette recorder. )

VDT---- ( Video-display terminal. )

VDU---- ( Video display unit, a device used to display data, usually provided with a keyboard for data entry. )

VE---- ( Volunteer Examiner. )

VEC---- ( Volunteer Examiner Coordinator. )

Vernier Dial or Vernier Drive---- ( A mechanical system of tuning dials, grequently used in older equipment, where the knob might turn 10 times for each single rotation of the control shaft. )

Vertical---- ( Vertical ground plane antenna. )

Vertical Side---- ( Vertical polarization. )

Vertically Polarized Wave---- ( A radio wave that has its electric lines of force perpendicular to the surface of the earth. )

Very-high frequencies (VHF)---- ( The radio frequencies from 30 to 300 MHz. )

V.F.O.---- ( Variable Frequency Oscillator, sometimes called a "Slider". )

VFO---- ( Variable Frequency Oscillator--An operation mode in which an operator can change frequency freely. )

VHF---- ( Very High Frequency-- 30 - 300 MHz. )

Videotex---- ( A presentation-layer protocol for two-way transmission of graphics. )

Virtual Circuit---- ( A mode of packet net-working in which a logical connection that emulates a point-to-point circuit is established. )

Visible Horizon---- ( The most distant point one can see by line of sight. )

VLF---- ( Very Low Frequency-- 3 - 30 KHz . )

VLSI---- ( Very-large-scale integration. )

VMOS---- ( V-topology metal-oxide semiconductor. )

Voice---- ( Any of the several methods used by amateurs to trasmit speech. )

Voice Communications---- ( Hams can use several voice modes, including FM and SSB. )

Volt (V)---- ( a measure of electromotive force; The basic unit of electrical pressure or EMF. )

Voltage (E)---- ( Electromotive force or electrical pressure, measured in volts (V); The EMF or pressure that causes electrons to move through an electrical circuit. )

Volt-Amperes---- ( The product obtained by multiplying the current times the voltage in an ac circuit without regard for the phase angle between the two. This is also known as the apparent power delivered to the load as opposed to the actual or real power absorbed by the load, expressed in watts. )

Voltage Multiplier---- ( A type of rectifier circuit that is arranged so as to charge a capacitor or capacitors on one half-cycle of the ac input voltage waveform, and then to connect these capacitors in series with the rectified line or other charged capacitors on the alternate half-cycle. The voltage doubler and tripler are commonly used forms of the voltage multiplier. )

Voltmeter---- ( A test instrument used to measure voltage. )

Volunteer Examiners (VEs)---- ( Amateur Radio operators who give Amateur Radio licensing examinations. )

VOM---- ( Volt-ohm-meter; A multimeter whose design predates multiple scale meters (see DMM). )

VOX---- ( Voice Operated Transmission. )

VOX---- ( Voice operated relay or voice operaqted switch. Allows the operator to transmit with the sound of his voice, rather than using a microphone push-to-talk switch. )

VR---- ( Voltage regulator. )

VRAC---- ( VHF Repeater Advisory Committee. )

VSC---- ( Voice Scan Control or Voice Squelch Control. )

VSWR---- ( Voltage standing-wave ratio. )

VTVM---- ( Vacuum-tube voltmeter; A meter that was developed to provide a high input resistance and therefore low current drain (loading) from the circuit being tested. Now replaced by the FET meter. )

VUAC---- ( VHF/UHF Advisory Committee. )

VUCC---- ( VHF/UHF Century Club. )

VXO---- ( Variable-frequency crystal oscillator. )
