AR8000 operating manual (1) Introduction & accessories Thank you for purchasing THE NEW CONCEPT AOR AR8000 World Band Wide Band all mode receiver. This operating manual is divided into many sections and presented in a logical order assuming that it will be read section by section following the examples. However, if you are familiar with the operations of modern mulit-function receivers you may proceed directly to section 6. Many phrases are repeated through the manual, while this may make the text a little repetitious, it should provide clear instructions if you refer directly to a specific section. Every effort has been made to make this manual correct and up to date. Due to continuous development of the receiver and by error or omissions anomalies may be found and this is acknowledged. Most apparent faults are usually due to accidental misoperation of the receiver, carefully read all of the manual before deciding to return the receiver for repair. Although carefully designed, this receiver (like all receivers) suffers from a degree of internal noises known as spurii. They are a product of the receiver’s circuitry and do not represent a fault.

Initially you are greeted with the opening welcome message on the AR8000 multi-function liquid crystal display “WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF AR8000 RECEIVER”, in a similar way to a sign on message displayed by your personal computer. This new experience immediately demonstrates that the AR8000 is no ordinary radio but THE NEW CONCEPT in radio design. Internal construction is of a high quality modular surface mount design with the only wires being those connecting to the internal loudspeaker. This ensures the highest performance and reliability. Frequency coverage and modes The AR8000 is a highly sensitive hand-held receiver boasting the widest frequency coverage of 500kHz to 1900MHz without gaps in the range (actual acceptable frequency input from 100kHz). Step size is programmable in multiples of 50Hz for smooth tuning. The all-mode reception provides AM, USB, LSB, CW, NFM and WFM. Step offset is a useful facility for correctly tuning through bands with unusual offsets and channel spacing. As you might expect from a radio receiver of this calibre, an independent 4.0 kHz SSB filter is fitted as standard and the USB/LSB/CW modes use true carrier re-insertion with non-offset frequency readout. Auto-Mode tuning Comprehensive band plan information specific to the target market area has been programmed into the AR8000 receiver. This inclusion will greatly simplify frequency entry and search programming. The receiver will “automatically” select the appropriate mode and channels step. Of course, should you wish then both the mode and channel step may be manually changed when required. Custom ferrite bar aerial A custom manufactured ferrite bar aerial has been neatly installed into the AR8000 cabinet to provide a suitable aerial for medium wave reception. 5 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
