PROGRAM SEARCH BANKS
You may wish to specify your own frequency limits or
modes for program search banks.  There are 20 program
search banks in total 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08,
09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 & 19.
 Example of reprogramming a search bank - “05”
Let’s assume that you wish to reprogram the data contents
of search bank “5”: 433.000 to 433.6000 MHz, mode to
NFM, 15kHz I.F. bandwidth, 25 kHz tuning...

12-10  Linking program search banks
When shipped from the factory (using default settings) all
program search banks are UNLINKED so may only be
searched on an individual basis by selecting the search
bank identifier by rotating the SUB DIAL or keying in the two
digit bank identifier via the numeric keypad (“00”, “08,
“15” etc).  This is the usual way in which program search
banks would be used.
When in PROGRAM SEARCH MODE, the program
search banks are referred to...

12-11  Linking only a few search banks
When the BANK LINK menu has been selected “ON” (as
per section 12-10 of this manual), ALL search banks are
linked.  However, it is possible to de-select and re-select
search banks and select just those you particularly wish
to group together and search.
To LINK just three search banks, access the bank link
menu by pressing 
 , this may be carried out
in SCAN mode, SEARCH mode or VFO mode.
The flashing legend “SR” confirm...

PAUSE saves you having to manually intervene to force
the search process to resume or the need to lockout
frequencies using the FREQUENCY PASS facility.
The limits are OFF and 01 to 60 seconds (default OFF).
Press

Use the 
  keys to locate the “PAUSE OFF”
selection.

be usable when high noise is present.
12-17  PROGRAM SEARCH - VOICE
The search VOICE parameter determines the way in which
an 
active frequency is determined by sampling the audio
modulation.  When the VOICE search facility is enabled,
the search process will only stop on active channels which
have modulation (such as voice) present.  The AR5000
will not remain on unmodulated frequencies (such as blank...

12-19  AUTO-STORE
The auto-store (A.STORE) facility enables the first 100
busy frequencies located during search to be automatically
saved in memory bank “0” for later review and scanning.
When shipped from the factory auto-store is switched OFF.
The first 100 
active frequencies will be automatically
stored into memory in ascending memory channel order
from 000 ~ 099 until all 100 channels have been used.
Active frequencies located after the 100th channel has...

Frequencies which have been registered as a pass
frequency will not be received during a subsequent search.
All search banks are independent from each other.  For
this reason a frequency selected as PASS in one bank
will not automatically be passed in another bank, it will
only be skipped over in the bank in which it is registered.
Note: Any active frequency within ± 10 kHz of the passed
frequency will be ignored so that all the pass channels do
not have to used...

Notes: You can enter a PASS frequency down to the
100kHz order only (as a PASS frequency is valid within a
range of ± 10kHz). The PASS frequency can be entered
anywhere within The AR5000’s receive range but it must
be noted that the search rate will slow down if the pass
frequency is entered outside of the selected program
search range as the AR5000 microprocessor will need to
check pass frequencies even if they are outside of the
program search range.  It is...
