Entering simple aerial switching data
In this example aerial 2 (“ANT 2”) will be programmed for
the frequency range of 10 kHz ~ 30 MHz so that aerial 1
(“ANT 1”) will operate by default on frequencies between
30 MHz and 2600 MHz.

(7) Memory banks & channels
It is very convenient to store commonly used frequencies
into a memory bank along with mode and attenuator
status, this saves having to key the data in over and over
again.  Memory recall is very straightforward and quick
when compared to retyping all data.
Think of memory channels as pages in a notebook each
of which is numbered to identify it.  Data may be written
to each new page (memory channel) and each page may
be overwritten with...

bank, select scan channel, pass frequency etc).
The “< - -” legend then reverses to point back to
where the frequency was displayed.  If the legend
“- - - - - - - - - -” is displayed then the current memory
channel is confirmed as currently being empty.  If data is
already present in the memory location, the previously
stored frequency will be displayed as a warning that the
stored data is about to be over-written.
The microprocessor will automatically select the...

If the desired memory channel is not immediately displayed
it may be RECALLED by keying in the required location.
To recall memory channel “100” type 
   
there
is no need to press 
 
.
Memory channel review / hunt
The MAIN DIAL or 
  
keys may be used to
review, hunt for and select memory channels which contain
data (even those which have been assigned PASS so
that they will be skipped during SCAN)... channels which
contain no data will be skipped.  The SUB DIAL...

Press  
to over-write memory location 123.  The
“TXT” legend will be displayed inviting you to select new
text for storage in location 123.
To aid text entry, a decimal “.” is displayed to the right of
the text entry point (initially close to the left of the LCD).
The SUB DIAL is used to make selection of text in the form
of upper case letters, numbers and symbols.  The 
and  
keys move the text entry point to the right and
left respectively.  If a mistake is...

(8)  SCAN - scanning memory channels
& banks
The AR5000 has a SCAN MODE whereby the contents
stored in the MEMORY CHANNELS ARE
AUTOMATICALLY RECALLED AND MONITORED very
quickly for activity - 
scanned.  High speed scanning is
possible using 
Cyber Scan (a special form of scan where
the display is blanked, see section 8-9 of this manual).
It is important that you do not confuse
SCAN and SEARCH modes
SEARCH mode (covered later in this manual)
automatically TUNES THE...

Limitations of SCAN mode
Should a number of different modes and wide range of
frequencies be used, then the SCAN process may be
affected by noise or differences in squelch characteristic
on some frequencies and modes.
To help provide the best operation of SCAN, additional
facilities have been provided should you listen to noisy
frequencies or bands containing carriers, make liberal use
of the AUDIO and PAUSE scan parameters.

8-5  Memory bank linking to scan ALL
memory banks
When shipped from the factory using default settings all
memory banks are UNLINKED so may only be scanned
on an individual basis by selecting the scan bank identifier
as per section 8-4 using the SUB DIAL or numeric keypad
(“1”, “2”, “3” etc).
It is possible to quickly link ALL memory banks together
so they will be scanned as one group.  In fact it is possible
to select any number of banks to be scanned as a group...

Alternatively you could switch bank link OFF or select a
bank link profile where group programming has not been
selected.
To return to the GROUP selection, rotate the SUB DIAL until
one of the 
linked scan bank numbers is displayed.
8-8  SCAN channel PASS (lockout)
Should the AR5000 stop on an active channel while
scanning and for some reason you do not wish to monitor
it any longer, simply press the 
  
keys or rotate
the MAIN DIAL to force the SCAN process to...
