13-2 Program search banks
It is possible to save parameters of frequency, mode, step step offset and
comment into any of the 20 program search banks for easy access at any
time.
The program search banks (referred to simply as search banks) are identified
by letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J (upper case letters) and a, b, c, d, e, f, g,
h, i, j (lower case letters).
Remember: It is possible to set a PASSWORD to prevent unauthorised access
to banks with lower case letters (a, b, c, d etc). If the password has been set,
you must first key in your password before the protected banks may be
accessed.
For your convenience the microprocessor (depending on world market area)
has been preprogrammed (possibly with 10 or 20 search banks) at the factory,
these being specifically chosen for each market area.
An example of typical programming is as follows (in these examples the mode,
step and step offset are taken from the AUTO-MODE bandplan data):
A 118.000 to 137.000 MHz CIV AIR
B 225.000 to 410.000 MHz MIL AIR
C 410.000 to 425.000 MHz USAF
D 156.000 to 163.000 MHz MARINE
E 88.000 to 105.000 MHz BAND 2
F 145.200 to 145.775 MHz 2M HAM
G 433.000 to 433.600 MHz 70c HAM
H 1297.000 to 1298.000 MHz 23c HAM
I 71.000 to 87.000 MHz LO PMR
J 163.400 to 225.000 MHz VHF PMR
Assuming that the AR8000 is preprogrammed with similar data to that shown
above, to initiate PROGRAM SEARCH press [SRCH]. The legend “SRCH”
appears on the top left of the LCD to confirm selection.
To select a specific search bank press the key corresponding to the desired
search bank identifier. For example, to search bank “F” press [6F] while in
search mode.
The lowest frequency in the bank will first appear on the LCD and will change
in an upward direction. Use the UP/DOWN keys or [DIAL] to reverse the
direction of search.
Should the receiver stop on an unwanted active frequency, press the [UP] or
[DOWN] keys to force the search process to continue.
