ACOUSTIC MONITORING RECEIVERS
- VR2W : 69 kHz Receiver
VR2W : 69 kHz Receiver
The VR2W-69 kHz is an acoustic monitoring receiver that is affordable, compact, easy to use, long-lasting and versatile. This receiver is ideal for research projects ranging from small river monitoring to freshwater lake studies to multi-researcher, multi-tracking operations in large oceanic systems.
- VR2W : 180 kHz Receiver
VR2W : 180 kHz Receiver
Designed to operate with VEMCO’s line of 180 kHz minature tags, the VR2W-180 kHz receiver is cost effective, compact, easy to use, long-lasting and flexible, making it ideal for remote, long term monitoring of small fish species.
- HR2 : High Residence Receiver
HR2 : High Residence Receiver
The feature rich HR2 (High Residence Version 2) Receiver is an excellent choice for tracking many fish with higher accuracy than ever before using our family of 180 kHz transmitters (V5 and V9).
- VR2AR : Acoustic Release Receiver
VR2AR : Acoustic Release Receiver
The VR2AR Acoustic Release and Receiver combines a VR2Tx Receiver and an acoustic release along with a V16-like transmitter which allows researchers to remotely retrieve deployed receivers and communicate to the surface without retrieving the unit.
- VR2AR-X Long Life Acoustic Release Receiver
VR2AR-X Long Life Acoustic Release Receiver
VEMCO’s VR2AR-X receiver is the same as our VR2AR receiver with a built-in transmitter and acoustic release but with a much longer life – up to 26 months.
- VR2Tx : Transmitting Receiver
VR2Tx : Transmitting Receiver
The VR2Tx Acoustic Receiver combines a VR2W receiver with a built in V16-like transmitter that allows communications with receivers while still deployed.
- VR2C : Cabled Receiver
VR2C : Cabled Receiver
The VR2C cabled receiver enables researchers to have a permanent, real-time communication path to the receiver allowing them to easily check on the status of the receiver in the field and upload data at any time.
- VR4-UWM : Underwater Modem Receiver
VR4-UWM : Underwater Modem Receiver
The VR4 Underwater Modem (VR4-UWM) Receiver is a submersible receiver capable of communicating remotely to a surface modem and identifying all VEMCO coded transmitters (both 69 kHz and 180 kHz tags).
- VMT : Mobile Transceiver
VMT : Mobile Transceiver
The VEMCO Mobile Transceiver (VMT) is a hybrid between a 69 kHz coded transmitter and a 69 kHz monitoring receiver (similar to the VR2W-69 kHz).

VR100 HYDROPHONES
- VHTx : Transponding Hydrophone (69 kHz)
VHTx : Transponding Hydrophone (69 kHz)
The VHTx is an omni-directional transponding hydrophone that attaches to the VR100 active tracking receiver to communicate with VEMCO’s two newest receivers, the VR2Tx Transceiver and the VR2AR Acoustic Release and Transceiver.
- VHTx : Transponding Hydrophone (180 kHz)
VHTx : Transponding Hydrophone (180 kHz)
The VHTx-180k is an omni-directional transponding hydrophone that attaches to the VR100 active tracking receiver to communicate with VEMCO’s High Residence Receiver (HR2).
- VH165 & VH180: Omni-directional Hydrophones (69 & 180 kHz)
VH165 & VH180: Omni-directional Hydrophones (69 & 180 kHz)
The VH165 and VH180 are omni-directional hydrophones for use with the VR100 acoustic receiver for active tracking of VEMCO acoustic transmitters on passing fish or equipment.
- VH110 & VH180-D : Directional Hydrophones (69 & 180 kHz)
VH110 & VH180-D : Directional Hydrophones (69 & 180 kHz)
The VH110 and VH180-D are used with the VR100 receiver to locate and track ultrasonic transmitters on passing fish or equipment.
