13-5 SEARCH - outline introduction to facilities available in default
NEWUSER status
During program search, the receiver tunes to every frequency between two
specified frequency limits looking for “active” interesting frequencies. When an
“active” frequency is located (when a signal is found and the squelch is open)
the receiver will temporarily stop searching.
At default when shipped from the factory and while in “NEWUSER”
status, the receiver will remain on the active frequency until the received
signal disappears and the squelch closes. The AR8000 will then wait an
additional 2 seconds in case a reply is audible (such as aircraft and air traffic
communications) then will resume searching.
If the UP/DOWN keys are pressed during search or the [DIAL] rotated, the
receiver resumes searching in the direction of the arrow key. This is particularly
useful for taking a second look at frequencies which have just been searched.
Additional facilities are available in PROGRAM SEARCH mode include:
Program search banks may be “LINKED” and “UNLINKED” to effectively
make larger or smaller groups of program search banks which may be
searched in succession.
“PASS” may be used whereby constantly active frequencies can be skipped
when not required, they may be reinstated at a later time.
“AUTO-MEMORY” reserves memory bank “J” so that active frequencies
found while conducting a SEARCH may be automatically written to
memory (refer to section 15 of this manual for further information).
This is a useful tool for compiling an activity list of rarely used frequencies
especially when unattended.

status depending upon the SEARCH CONFIGURATION as defined in the “SET
