AR2000 Operating manual Page 6
Manual mode
1. To ENTER a FREQUENCY.
Key in the digits and use the decimal point after the MHz. You don’t have to enter the following -
zeros’ as they will be added automatically after pressing the decimal point and enter. In fact you can
usually leave out the decimal point when entering a round MHz.
If you key in an ‘out of range’ frequency, a frequency error message is displayed ‘Fr .Err’
MANUAL (frequency in MHz) ENTER
Example: MANUAL - 131.000 - ENTER
Or: MANUAL - 131. - ENTER
2. Tuning the receiver.
Turn the rotary control on the top face of the cabinet. Rotating the control clockwise advances the
displayed frequency while anti-clockwise operation lowers the displayed frequency. The display will
show an up or down arrow as appropriate.
3. To change the frequency INCREMENT (step).
This is used with the rotary tuning control, the default is 12.5 KHz. It is good to start at a round
number such as 131.000
INC (tuning step in KHz) ENTER
Example: INC - 25 - ENTER
You can select an increment in multiples of 5 KHz and 12.5 KHz between the limits of 5 and 995
KHz.
4.To change MODE.
It is worth noting that when you change mode while a memory bank number is showing, the
contents of that memory are often automatically updated. For this reason it is worth keeping one
memory channel reserved as a ‘note pad’ and dialled in before you start manual operation. Perhaps
memory channel 000 would be a good choice.
Press AM / FM to select AM or Narrow Band FM
Press W-FM to select Wide Band FM
There is no need to press enter but there is no negative effect should you do so.
