AOR AR8600 - 15-4 Moving the marker; 15-5 Marker to strongest signal (peak search); 15-6 Entering a new centre frequency; 15-7 Transfer of marker frequency to VFO

112
When the frequency span width is altered, the trace restarts. to refresh the trace
from the start.
15-4 Moving the marker
To move the marker position use the ï ð keys, the channel step will be dependant upon the span
width resolution. To monitor the marker frequency and hold the key. The progress
of the scope is halted when the key is held.
15-5 Marker to strongest signal (peak search)
To simplify operation, it is possible to ‘jump the marker’ to the strongest signal of the current graphical
trace (peak search). and hold the key until the “«” legend is displayed indicating
that the marker is set to the strongest graphical signal. and hold the key to monitor
the selected frequency. The ï ð keys may be used to hop between the strongest few transmissions.
to disable peak search, the “«” will be removed from the LCD.
&Note: If no signal is found above the background level (or if there hasn’t been time allowed
for a trace to form), peak search will not operate and an error beep will be emitted (if beep is
enabled). This facility cannot be used with a span width of 100 kHz.
15-6 Entering a new centre frequency
To enter a new centre frequency, simply tap the wanted frequency into the keypad. The legend
“CENTRE FREQ” will be displayed on the top line of the LCD with entry taking place on the second line.
To complete entry in MHz format . The marker will be automatically set to the centre
frequency but the frequency span width will be unchanged.
15-7 Transfer of marker frequency to VFO
There are two ways in which the marker frequency may be transferred to VFO for long term monitoring.
Transfer to 2VFO retaining VFO data
to move marker frequency to 2VFO, receive mode
and step are those of the VFO.
Transfer to single VFO with 10 kHz tuning step
Hold the key then to transfer marker frequency to single VFO,
receive will be that used in VFO mode but the tuning step will always be 10 kHz to allow
sensible re-tuning in VFO mode for best reception of the transferred marker frequency
