AOR AR One Ultra Wide Band Reciever Instructions Manual

							 30 
Examples are “000” for the first channel location in memory bank “0” and “099” for the last 
memory channel in memory bank “0”. 
 
“415” is the location: memory bank “4” channel “15”. 
 
The data contents of memory and search banks are held in a EEPROM so that no backup 
battery is required for memory retention. 
 
The stored data may be quickly and easily recalled, changed or deleted using the memory   
recall and delete functions. 
 
Note: 
When the receiver is switched OFF, all VFO data will be automatically stored into   
EEPROM memory storage
. 
 
3-2 Storing VFO frequencies & data into memory 
The process to save a displayed VFO frequency to memory is as follows: 
 
a)  In VFO mode, select the required frequency, mode, attenuator etc 
b)  Push the FUNC key, and then push the ENT key to go to the memory write screen 
 
c)  Use the keypad, main tuning dial or arrow keys to select the desired memory location   
(BANK and CHANNEL) 
d)  Add a text comment (optional) or delete an existing comment 
e)  Push the ENT key to exit the menu and save the data to the specified memory   
location 
 
Let’s assume that you are going to store the frequency of 123.500 MHz into memory bank  
						

							 31 
“3” location “25” (325) while in VFO mode with the text comment of    “AIRBAND”. 
If a mistake is made during programming, push the ESC key to abort entry and return to 
VFO mode. 
 
1)  Start by selecting VFO mode then key in the frequency of 123.500 MHz, “mode and 
step  
size” are set to the default auto mode.   
 
Push the VFO key to set the AR-ONE into VFO mode. 
Push the 1 key.   
Push the 2 key. 
Push the 3 key. 
Push the . (decimal) key. 
Push the 5 key. 
Push the ENT key. 
    
2)  Then push the FUNC key, and then push the ENT key to enter “memory input” mode. 
Using the main tuning dial or arrow keys, enter 325 to store the frequency into the   
location. (memory bank 3, channel number 25) 
 
3)    Push the down arrow key to add the text comment “AIRBAND” 
        Use the main tuning dial to select the text and the arrow keys to move position of text   
input. 
 
A maximum of 12 characters may be added to each memory channel, it is 
recommended that a minimum of three (3) be used for efficient use of the text search 
 
function ( a minimum of 2 characters are required for text search). 
 
To erase the text comment, push the SET key twice. 
 
    Push the ENT key to complete.  
						

							 32 
 
 
 
3-3 Memory read “M.RD”  
Once frequency and mode data has been stored into a memory location, its retrieval is 
quick  
and simple.   
 
Let’s assume that you are going to retrieve the frequency of 123.500 MHz which has been   
programmed into memory “325” during an earlier example in the preceding section of this   
manual. 
 
Push the FUNC
 key and the push the SCAN
 key to go into memory read mode
, the 
“M.RD
”  
icon appears on the top left of the LCD to confirm operation. The AR-ONE will monitor   
whatever memory channel you enter memory read.   
 
 
The AR-ONE will display memory channel, mode, text comment (if one was used). The 
memory channel last used (for memory write or recall) will initially be displayed. If the 
desired memory channel is not immediately displayed, it may be recalled by keying in the   
required three digit location.  
						

							 33 
 
To recall memory channel “325”, push either the right arrow key or left arrow key to select 
“3” as the memory bank. Rotate the main tuning dial or pushing either the up arrow key or 
down arrow key to select “25”. 
 
3-4 Deleting memory channels 
It is possible to over-write a memory channel with new data or delete the channel entirely.   
Push the FUNC key, and then push the 3 key to “MEM DELETE” menu. 
 
Push either the right arrow key or left arrow key to select the desired memory bank. 
Rotate the main tuning dial or pushing either the up arrow key or down arrow key to select   
the desired memory channel to delete. 
Push the ENT key to delete it or push ESC to abort. 
 
4  SCAN – scanning memory channels 
The AR-ONE has a SCAN mode whereby the contents stored in the MEMORY 
CHANNELS  
ARE AUTOMATICALLY RECALLED AND MONITORED very quickly for activity – 
scanned. 
 
 
*** It is important that you do not confuse SCAN and SEARCH modes. ***  
						

							 34 
 
SEARCH mode (covered later in this manual) automatically TUNES THE RECEIVER 
THROUGH ALL FREQUENCIES between two specified frequency limits looking for active 
frequencies. 
 
4-1 SCAN – outline introduction 
During SCAN, the AR-ONE automatically recalls memory channel which contains data in 
numeric order and monitors it looking for activity. When an ‘active’ memory channel is 
located (when a signal is found and the squelch is open), the AR-ONE will temporarily stop 
scanning. 
 
 
4-2 Starting SCAN 
Presuming that some memory channels are programmed with data, to start the scan   
process will take one push of the SCAN key. 
 
The icon “HYPER CAN” is displayed on the LCD to indicate that the SCAN process has 
been started, a bank number will be also be displayed representing the current bank.   
Ensure that the squelch is set to threshold point so that background noise is 
cancelled and the squelch closes (otherwise scan will not operate). 
When SCAN has been selected, only the currently displayed memory bank WHICH 
CONTAINS DATA will be SCANNED, receive mode and frequency are unimportant. Any 
memory channels which contain no data (empty) will be ignored (skipped). 
 
4-3 Selecting a scan bank 
The memory bank identifier (such as “3”) will be displayed on the middle right of the LCD.   
 
If more than one memory channel is programmed into the current memory bank, and when 
an ‘active’ channel has been located (busy, so the squelch opens), the scan process will 
temporarily pause on the active channel, the memory location (such as “115”) will be   
displayed along with any accompanying text (displayed underneath the memory location). 
 
To select another memory bank for scanning, use the right arrow key or left arrow key. 
If no data is available, the next bank with valid data will be recalled (empty memory banks   
are skipped). 
  
						

							 35 
To  e x i t  f r o m  SCAN mode, push the VFO key. 
 
4-4 Select scan 
Select scan enables you to ‘tag’ memory channels to make a temporary list up to 50   
channels in the same memory bank for scanning in a separate list called the SELECT 
SCAN 
LIST.  
 
4-4-1 Adding select scan channels in memory read 
In memory read mode, push the FUNC key, and then push the 1 key to toggle the select 
scan tag on/off, the icon “SEL” confirms selection. 
 
 
 
 
 
4-4-2 Starting / stopping select scan 
To start select scan, you must first have at least two memory channels tagged for select   
scan. 
 
Push the FUNC key, and then push the 2 key to start select scan. The direction of scan can 
be reversed using the main tuning dial knob.    
						

							 36 
 
To stop select scan, push the VFO key. 
 
 
5    Search mode 
In search mode, the AR-ONE is programmed to automatically tune between two specified   
frequency limits looking for activity. Please refer to section 1-3 of this manual if you do not   
fully understand the function of SEARCH. 
 
5-1 Search type 
The AR-ONE is equipped with PROGRAM SEARCH. 
 
PROGRAM SEARCH = search between user preprogrammed limits 
 
5-1-1 Program search overview 
There are 40 program search banks (referred to simply as search banks) which can be 
programmed with specific parameters: 
  
						

							 37 
zLO (lower) start frequency 
zHI (upper) stop frequency 
zReceive mode (or set to AUTO MODE) 
zText comment 
 
The program search banks are identified by numbers (01 ~ 40). To help with identification, 
each bank may be labeled with an alphanumeric text comment. 
 
5-2 Staring program search 
Presuming that data is already stored into a search bank … 
 
Push the SRCH
 key to start the program search process.   
 
 
The LCD icon “SRCH
” will be displayed and as long as the squelch is closed, the search 
process will start from the lower frequency limit and will progress toward the upper 
frequency limit. When the program limit is reached, the search loops around and starts the 
process again. 
 
 
Note
: If no search banks have been programmed, the search will not operate.  
						

							 38 
 
5-2-1 Reversing the direction of search 
To reverse the direction of search, use the main tuning dial or the up arrow key or the down 
arrow key. This is useful to enable you to search back over an interesting point of the 
search  
process. 
 
5-2-2 Forcing the search to resume 
If the AR-ONE stops on an unwanted busy frequency, rotate the main tuning dial knob or 
use the up arrow key or down arrow key to force the search process to resume from the 
current frequency displayed. 
 
5-2-3 Stopping the search 
While the search process is in progress (not stopped), push the VFO key (displaying the 
data on-screen before search was started). 
 
 
5-3 Selection of search bank 
There are 40 search banks. While searching, use the right arrow key or left arrow key to 
step 
through search banks which contain data. If no data is programmed in the nominated 
search  
bank, the next bank containing valid data will be used.  
						

							 39 
 
 
5-4 Programming a search bank 
Each of the 40 search banks may be programmed with different frequency limits, receive   
modes, etc. as listed in section 8-1-1
 of this manual. 
 
Push the FUNC
 key, and then push the 6
 key to access the “SRCH PROG
” menu. 
 
 
 
Use the main tuning dial, or the right arrow key or the left arrow key or keypad to select the 
bank you wish to program or overwrite. (The down arrow key is used to move through the 
menu.
