INITIALIZATION
AOR8200 RECEIVER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Press Power and 2VFO
2. Set the frequency to 401.679 MHz
• Enter 401.679 on the keypad and press the ENT key
3. Set the mode
• Push the “F” key on the left side of the receiver and then
press the 3 (MODE) key
• Use the dial on the left side of the receiver to select LSB
• Press the ENT key
4. Set the frequency step
• Push the “F” key on the left side of the receiver and then
press the 2 (STEP) key
• Use the dial on the left side of the receive to select 0.05
• Press the ENT key
5. Set the squelch to open
• Dial the squelch control counter-clockwise until the “S”
appears on the display
6. Set the frequency to the desired tone
• Use the dial on the left side to tune by 0.1 kHz steps.
401.679 MHz is a good starting place.
Attenuators
There are two attenuators provided by Wildlife Computers in the AOR8200 antenna and receiver kit.
Internal Attenuator
The internal attenuator adds 10 dB of signal reduction to the receiver to enable better tracking directionality
when the receiver is getting close to the transmitter.
When a maximum search range is required, the attenuator must be turned o. When the attenuator is on, “ATT”
appears on the upper left section of the LCD screen.
To toggle the attenuator on and o, briey push “F” (the function key on the left side of the receiver) and then
push the “1” button on the keypad. The ATT icon will appear when the attenuator is on. To disable the attenua-
tor, repeat the above sequence. The ATT icon will switch o, indicating the attenuator is now o.
