General
This AOR handheld wide band scanning receiver is renowned for it's high standards of performance
and range of facilities which other manufacturers try to imitate.
Although offering a long list of facilities and operating modes, the receiver remains reasonably easy
to operate. The display often provides ‘prompts’ for selected operations such as a flashing “CH” to
invite you to key in a new memory channel number.
The receiver has an exceptionally wide frequency coverage from 500KHz to1300MHz (1.3GHz!!!).
The modes available are AM, FM (narrow) and FM (wide). All available modes may be selected at any
frequency within the receiver's coverage.
Although carefully designed, this receiver (like ali receivers) suffers from a degree of internal noises
known as spurii. They are a product of the receiver's circuitry and do not represent a fault.
All information such as frequency, mode, channel, etcetera is presented in an easy to see Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD). For night time use there ts a lamp with a timeout of about 6 seconds to
prevent undue battery drain.
The aerial connection is of the standard BNC type allowing straight forward connection to almost
any VHF / UHF aerial. There is also a 10dB attenuator on the top panel to increase versatility.
There is a massive EEPROM storage (no batteries required) of 1OOO memories held as 10 banks of
100 also there are 10 additional programmabie search banks. Each memory will store frequency and
mode, the search bands will also store the increment. Memories and search bands may be ‘locked
out’ for the days when you don’t want to listen to something you have previously programmed.
In search mode, you may lock out upto 1000 continuously occupied frequencies (100 in each of the
10 search bands) so that the frequency is skipped when next scanned. Although the search bands
are pre-programmed at the factory, they may be easily re-programmed from the keypad by the user.
