All mode receive: WFM, NFM, SFM (Super Narrow FM), WAM, AM, NAM
(Wide, standard, Narrow AM), USB, LSB & CW.
A 3.0 kHz SSB filter is employed with true carrier re-insertion resulting in
non-offset frequency readout for easy tuning of SSB transmissions. Optional
substitute SSB and AM Collins mechanical filters are also available. An
attenuator and noise limiter are also featured.
A meaningful band plan is factory programmed specific to market area, this
ensures that the AR8600 automatically selects the correct receive mode and
tuning step (although mode and tuning step may be manually selected at any
time), the band plan may be edited via computer control.
A group of four front panel navigational keys provide a natural and intuitive path
through the on-screen menus. Tuning is primarily accomplished via the main
tuning dial, arrow keys and keypad. The back-lit LCD with contrast control
provides operational data with the ability to add 12 character text comments to
each memory channel, memory bank and search bank, a text search feature
simplifies identification and recall of stored information.
Many text prompts aid operation making programming of search banks etc
straight forward. Two frequencies may be displayed along with operating legends
and high resolution signal meter and multi-function band scope. The band
scope provides adjustable span width from 10 MHz to 100 kHz , you can move
the marker, operate peak hold, transfer the marker frequency to VFO and save
trace for later recall.
Flexible dynamic memory bank layout is provided (memory banks may be
varied in size between 10 and 90 channels each
i.e. bank ‘A’ 80 channels / bank
‘a’ 20 channels with bank ‘B’ 40 channels / bank ‘b’ 60 channels etc
). A total of
1,000 memories are provided in 20 memory banks, lockout, select scan, priority
and auto store are also provided. In addition 40 search banks are provided with
50 pass channels per search bank and a further 50 for VFO search lockout.
Comprehensive edit, move, swap and delete facilities are provided, it is possible
to move whole memory & search banks. In addition you may write PROTECT
memories, banks and search banks to prevent accidental over-writing of stored
data including protection of the entire receiver! Scan & search rates provide a
maximum of approximately 37 increments per second. Flash-ROM memory
storage ensures that data is automatically saved without the need for a backup
battery or capacitor.
Computer control is available via a standard 9-pin RS232 D-type connector on
the rear chassis, just a standard RS232 cable is required for connection to a PC,
the extensive RS232 command list is printed in the operating manual. A FREE
software package is available as a download from the AOR web sites, this
provides frequency control & management, searching, scanning, logging with
support for geographic data from a GPS and audio recording to disk.
In addition, 'optional internal SLOT CARDS' (which fit into the rear chassis of
the AR8600) extend the capabilities even further, five cards may be fitted with two
operational simultaneously l
Memory slot card
(increase storage to 4,000
memories, 160 search banks). l
CTCSS slot card
squelch & search.
l
Record chip slot card
(records up to 20 seconds of audio) with 'continuous
loop' capability. l
Tone eliminator slot card.
l
Voice inverter card.
The slot cards are common to the AR8600, AR8200 and AR8200 Series-2.
Supplied with: Swivel base telescopic whip aerial, MW bar, comprehensive illustrated operating manual with
RS232 listing, a.c. power supply specific to the market area (free PC software is available from the AOR web
sites).
