8-9  Cyber Scan in SCAN mode
A special facility has been provided to speed up the
scanning process (which is capable of scanning about 25
memory channels per second), typically the speed
increases to about 45 channels per second.
When 
Cyber Scan has been selected the frequency and
text are blanked out from the display while scanning, the
words “CYBER SCAN” are displayed in their place.
While scanning the legend “SCAN” flashes to indicate that
SCAN is in progress.
When a busy channel is located, the FREQUENCY or
TEXT will be displayed (taking the place of the 
Cyber Scan
legend), the “SCAN” legend stops flashing when a busy
channel has been located.
To enable 
Cyber Scan press  then press and hold
the 
 key for more than one second... a bleep will
then sound and the “FUNC” legend will be removed from
the LCD to confirm operation.  This key sequence acts as
a toggle to switch 
Cyber Scan on and off.
Note: If no text has been saved in memory and TEXT
mode has been selected rather than FREQUENCY, the
display will be void of information when Cyber Scan
locates a busy channel !!
(9)  Additional SCAN facilities
It is possible to alter the sequence of scanning events
when in SCAN mode
depending upon the SCAN CONFIGURATION as defined
in the 
BANK LINK / SETUP sub menu.  As with BANK
LINK, 10 PROFILES of the additional facilities may be
used along side BANK LINK.
There are 5 parameters (in addition to BANK LINK and
PASS) which may be changed to suit your preferences
and requirements.  The list of scanning defaults is shown
below:
Scan type Default    Comment
PAUSE OFF          OFF and 1 ~ 60 seconds
DELAY2.0s          OFF and 0.1 ~ 9.9 seconds
L-SQ OFF         OFF and 1 ~ 255
VOICE OFF         OFF and 1 ~ 255 (*)
MODE ALL         ALL/FM/AM/LSB/USB/CW
It is possible to mix combinations of all five
parameters.
To access the additional facilities of BANK LINK / SETUP
press  .
  Initially the BANK LINK menu is
displayed, the 
 
and  
keys allow selection of
the additional facilities operating as a carousel.
The MAIN DIAL and SUB DIAL may be rotated to change
values on each menu.  The 
 
key selects OFF (and
sometimes default such as 2.0s as in the DELAY menu).
When you are happy with the changes press 
 
to
accept the entry and the AR5000 will revert to SCAN,
SEARCH or VFO mode depending upon which was
previously in use.
Note: Make 
small changes and assess the effect as
incorrect setting may degrade the effectiveness of SCAN
capabilities.  If things appear to go wrong, return the
settings to their defaults as listed earlier in this section.
In extreme cases, reset the microprocessor (by switching
the receiver on while holding the 
 
key), this action
will revert the scan options back to defaults (by deleting
all bank link / setup programming).
9-1  SCAN - PAUSE
The scan PAUSE parameter determines how long the
receiver will remain on an 
active channel before resuming
scanning channels even if the channel is still busy.
This is useful if you wish to gain a picture of what is
happening on the memory channels without the AR5000
being tied to a busy channel for long periods (such as
active amateur band repeaters etc).  PAUSE scan saves
you having to manually intervene to force the scan to
continue or use channel PASS (lockout).  The limits are
OFF and 01 to 60 seconds (default OFF).
Press 
  to access the BANK LINK menu.
Use the 
  keys to locate the “PAUSE OFF”
selection.
PAUSE OFF  
						

							PAGE  42          AR5000 OPERATING MANUAL
9-2  SCAN - DELAY
The scan DELAY parameter affects the time the AR5000
will remain on an active channel in scan mode once the
received signal has disappeared and the squelch closed.
This is particularly useful for customising how long the
receiver will wait for a reply before continuing to scan.
For example, when communications are passed back and
forth between a control tower / aircraft which may take a
few seconds.  If you are scanning duplex channels then a
small delay or no delay at all may be preferable.
The limits are OFF and 0.1 to 9.9 seconds (default
2.0 seconds).
Press 
  
to access the BANK LINK menu.
Use the 
  
keys to locate the “DELAY 2.0”
selection.
PAUSE OFF
DELAY  2.0  
						

							AR5000 OPERATING MANUAL          PAGE 43
selection process.  In fact the  key may be used as
a toggle between OFF and the new setting.
The legend “*” positioned to the right of the word “VOICE”
indicates that the current audio will open the squelch, use
the SUB DIAL to increase the value until the “*” legend
disappears, you can then be sure that the scan voice
setting will ignore and skip over the current frequency.
While in memory recall or scan mode, the LCD legend
“VCS” for voice squelch is displayed toward the top right
hand side of the LCD to indicate that voice squelch is in
operation.
To accept the changes to scan VOICE SQUELCH press
 
to return to normal display (SCAN, SEARCH or
VFO mode).  Alternatively you may move to the next option
(MODE SCAN) by pressing the 
 key.
9-5  SCAN - MODE (receive mode AM,
FM etc)
The scan MODE parameter determines whether ALL
specified memory channels will be scanned or only those
of a certain receive mode.
This can be very useful if for example you have a mixture
of VHF AM civil airband frequencies in a memory bank
along with VHF NFM marine.  Rather than having to scan
ALL channels or PASS (lock out) certain channels, a
SPECIFIC receive mode ONLY can be quickly selected
and scanned.
The options are: ALL, FM, AM, LSB, USB & CW
(default ALL).
Setting the option to “ALL” will cause the scan process
to stop on all 
active channels regardless of mode.
Press 
  to access the BANK LINK menu.
Use the 
  keys to locate the “MODE ALL”
selection.

10-2  SELECT SCAN - while in SCAN
mode (tagging and un-tagging)
While the receiver is scanning, the AR5000 will stop on
active frequencies and you will soon realise that some
are 
interesting and some uninteresting.
To build up 
your select scan list of interesting channels,
start to 
tag the interesting channels while the scan
sequence pauses on active memory channels by pressing
 
The legend “S” will be displayed next to the bank number
of the memory channel to confirm selection.
Each time the sequence   is keyed, the
SELECT SCAN status “S” is toggled so that the channel
may be 
tagged (chosen / registered) and un-tagged
at will.
Tagging a memory for SELECT SCAN will not force the
scan to continue nor affect the way in which the memory
channel or SCAN mode operates.  When the signal
disappears normal SCAN mode is resumed.
10-3  SELECT SCAN while in MEMORY
RECALL mode (tagging and un-tagging)
SELECT SCAN channels may be tagged or un-tagged
while in memory recall mode by first selecting the desired
memory channel then keying 
 
If not already in memory recall mode, press .  The
legends “M” and “BANK” are displayed on the LCD to
confirm selection of memory recall.
The AR5000 will display a memory channel, mode,
frequency (or TEXT if text mode is selected).  You may
now select and 
tag interesting memory channels to add
to the SELECT SCAN list from any of the ten memory
banks.
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 enter.
Alternatively the MAIN DIAL,  
or  
keys may
be used to review, hunt for and select memory channelsto be 
tagged or un-tagged, the SUB DIAL is used to change
bank number.
When the memory channel has been 
tagged using the
sequence 
 , the legend “S” will be displayed
next to the bank number of the chosen memory channel
to confirm selection.
Each time the sequence   is keyed, the
SELECT SCAN status “S” is toggled so that the channel
may be 
tagged (chosen / registered) and un-tagged
at will.
10-4  Starting SELECT SCAN
To initiate SELECT SCAN once a selection of channels
has been made press 
 
SELECT SCAN will scan only the memory channels which
have been chosen (
tagged) and will adopt the current
PARAMETERS which have been saved in the currently
selected BANK LINK configuration.  In the default state,
the scan will remain on an active channel then wait a further
two seconds after the signal has disappeared before
resuming SCAN.  If you have altered the BANK LINK /
SETUP parameters (section 9 of this manual), the new
parameters will be employed.
If no memory channels have been 
tagged for SELECT
SCAN, the error bleep will sound (if the beep tone has
been enabled).
10-5  Deleting all SELECT SCAN channels
in one go
It is convenient to delete ALL the SELECT SCAN channels
in a single operation.  This makes the list ready for a fresh
start, perhaps using a totally different selection of SELECT
SCAN channels.
While this may be accomplished by untagging each and
every SCAN SELECT channel individually, a faster method
is available especially if you have previously selected all
100 select scan channels.
Access the DELETE menu by pressing 
 then
press and hold the 
 
key for more than one second.
Use the 
  keys until “DEL  SEL-CH”
appears on the LCD.
DEL  MEM-CH
DEL  SEL-CH  
						

							AR5000 OPERATING MANUAL          PAGE 45
The right of the LCD will display the legend “* *” if select
scan channels exist and “- -” if there are none to delete.
To delete all select scan channels
(un-tag them all) press 
, the legend will change to
“- -” to confirm operation.
The memory channels themselves will not be deleted, only
the select scan tags will be removed
.  Press  
to
return to VFO, SCAN or SEARCH, whichever was
previously used.
(11)  Priority operation
The PRIORITY feature enables you to carry on scanning,
searching or monitoring while the AR5000 checks a
selected frequency for activity (taken from one of the 1000
memory channels - default 000 every 5 seconds).
The priority checking is accomplished by 
momentarily
tuning the receive circuit to the priority frequency to see if
it is 
active.  If activity is found, the AR5000 will remain on
the active frequency until the signal disappears.  If no
activity is detected, the receiver returns to the VFO
frequency, scan channel or search bank from where it
originated.
The priority facility has a large number of applications and
is particularly useful for keeping an eye on a distress
frequency while scanning or searching another frequency
band.
Note: Depending upon the frequency and mode stored
as priority, an audible 
click may be heard when the priority
facility is in operation.  This is quite normal and is caused
by the internal switching of circuitry necessary to
accomplish the frequency change (as two frequencies
cannot simultaneously be monitored).
The priority mode is automatically suspended during entry
of frequencies via the numeric keypad, this prevents the
AR5000 from changing frequency while you are busy
programming.
11-1  Engaging PRIORITY channel
Once engaged, the default channel used for PRIORITY
is “000” and the frequency is checked for activity every
5 seconds.
First ensure that there is data stored in memory channel
“000”.
To engage the priority facility press 
, this may be
carried out while in SCAN, SEARCH or VFO modes.  The
legend “PRIO” appears toward the centre of the top line
of the LCD to indicate that PRIORITY IS ENGAGED
(switched on).
Once priority has been activated, the contents of the
memory channel used (default 000) may be altered without
affecting the data used for PRIORITY operation which is
stored separately and assumes an identity of its own
irrespective of the data contents of memory 000.
When the priority channel becomes active (signal present
and squelch open), the legend “Pr” will be displayed on
the right of the LCD.  The active priority frequency will be
monitored until it clears, this will temporarily halt any scan
and search process.
Should you subsequently wish to alter the priority data,
you will have to use the PRIORITY SETUP menu.
To cancel priority operation press 
, the legend
“PRIO” will be removed from the top line of the LCD to
confirm de-selection.
11-2  Changing PRIORITY channel
parameters
The default channel used for PRIORITY is “000” and
the frequency copied from this channel is checked for
activity every 5 seconds.
You may select a different memory channel from which
the priority data will be taken or may vary the sampling
time for priority activity checking.  This is accomplished
by using the PRIORITY SETUP menu accessed by
pressing
 .  The flashing legend “PRIO” appears on
the top line of the LCD to confirm selection.
The legend “Pr” also alternates with the bank/channel
number on the right of the LCD inviting a new memory
location to be chosen.
Use the MAIN DIAL, SUB DIAL or enter a three digit memory
location via the numeric keypad.  To transfer the data to
PRIORITY press 
.
Alternatively press the 
  
keys to select the
priority sampling interval (how often priority is checked for
activity). 
						

							PAGE  46          AR5000 OPERATING MANUAL
When the interval menu is selected the legend “P-INTER
05” is displayed (with 05 being the default of 5 seconds).
This numeric value in seconds determines how long the
AR5000 will wait between checking cycles before
re-sampling the priority frequency for activity (once the
priority facility has been activated).  The default is “05”
(5 seconds) and the acceptable range is 01 ~ 60 seconds.
Rotate the MAIN DIAL or SUB DIAL until the desired value is
displayed.  Once you are happy with the new selection
press 
 
to accept the changes.  The display will return
to SCAN, SEARCH, or VFO mode from wherever it
originated.
Note: If you should attempt to select a blank memory
channel, a low pitch 
beep error will sound when you press
 (if the beep is on) and the display will return to
SEARCH, SCAN or VFO mode, from wherever it
originated.
(12)  SEARCH
The AR5000 is equipped with various SEARCH modes
whereby an upper and lower frequency limit may be
defined and the AR5000 instructed to look for activity on
all frequencies in predetermined step size in an upward
or downward direction.  The mode and channel step will
change automatically when set to the default of
AUTOMODE but data may be specified specifically if
preferred.
It is important that you do not confuse
SEARCH and SCAN modes.
SEARCH mode automatically TUNES THE RECEIVER
THROUGH ALL FREQUENCIES between two specified
frequency limits looking for active frequencies.  SCAN
mode is uses SPECIFIC SPOT FREQUENCIES which
have been stored into memory.
The great advantage of SEARCH over manual tuning is
that it is so fast!  There are many different facilities available
for SEARCH mode which will be explained in this section.
The search instructions may be programmed into banks.
There are a total of 20 programmable search banks so
that data entry and recall is simple and efficient.
Continuously active or busy frequencies such as amateur
band repeaters may be PASSED (skipped) and active
frequencies stored into memory.  There is even an
AUTO-STORE facility where active channels are
automatically written to memory bank “0”.
When the AR5000 stops on a genuine active frequency
during search, the 
 key may be pressed to transfer
the displayed frequency to VFO-D where it may
be monitored for long periods of time or tuned.Pressing 
 for more than 1 second will initiate the
process of storing the frequency into a memory channel.
Limitations of SEARCH mode
SEARCH mode is extremely effective for AM & NFM use
in the VHF and UHF bands.  Searching the short wave
bands is usually ineffective due to the relatively high
background noise especially when propagation conditions
are good and bands open.
Searching using the modes of USB, LSB and CW will
produce mixed results depending upon frequency band
and whether any strong signals are encountered which
will affect the receiver’s AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
circuitry.
Usually, short wave band and SSB monitoring is carried
out with the squelch control 
open (fully anticlockwise) and
manual tuning by rotating the MAIN DIAL - not by scanning
or searching.  Searching using the mode of WFM may
not be possible in certain frequency bands due to the level
of background noise and adjacent channel activity.
Fundamentally there are three types of search:
Manual search (VFO search)  -  VFO-A, VFO-B
Simple search (VFO search)  -  VFO-C, VFO-D,
                                                     VFO-E
Program search (bank search)  -  Search banks
                                                         00 ~ 19
12-1  Manual SEARCH between two VFO
frequencies (VA, VB)
The simplest form of controlled SEARCH is achieved
by programming different frequencies into VFO-A and
VFO-B.
1  Press the 
 
key a few times until the legend “VA”
is displayed on the lower right corner of the LCD.  Press
and hold the 
 
key for more than one second so
that the “AUTO” legend is displayed to ensure the AR5000
is in AUTOMODE.
In this example let’s assume that the required search range
is 118.000 MHz to 136.000 MHz, the step size, mode etc
will be taken care of automatically as AUTOMODE is
engaged.
While the legend “VA” is displayed on the lower right
corner of the LCD (signifying that VFO-A is selected) key
in the lower frequency limit of 118.000 MHz
    
						

							AR5000 OPERATING MANUAL          PAGE 47
2  Select VFO-B.  Press the , the legend “VB” is
displayed on the lower right corner of the LCD.  Press
and hold the 
 
key for more than one second so
that the “AUTO” legend is displayed to ensure the AR5000
is in AUTOMODE (as each VFO can retain different mode
information).
Key the upper frequency limit into VFO-B.  In this example
136.000 MHz (the step size, mode etc will be taken care
of automatically as AUTOMODE is engaged).
   
3  To initiate manual frequency search (while “VA” or “VB”
are displayed) press and hold the 
 key for more
than one second (the 
 
or  
keys may also be
held for more than one second to initiate manual search).
The squelch MUST be closed for the search process to
operate.
The manual search process will start from the frequency
in VFO-A and search until it gets to frequency of VFO-B
then loop back to the frequency of VFO-A and start again.
The legend “SR” (SeaRch) will be added above the VFO
indication to show that SEARCH is in progress.
If the mode (and other receive parameters) are different
in VFO-A and VFO-B, the mode data will be taken from
the currently displayed VFO.
The MAIN DIAL, SUB DIAL, 
 
or  
keys may be
used to reverse the direction of search and force the
search process onward when stopped on a busy
frequency.  The process will halt when a busy frequency
is located, (at default will wait for two seconds after the
transmission clears) then resume searching again when
the frequency is clear.Cancelling manual search
Manual search may be cancelled by pressing 
.  The
display will either revert to VFO-A or VFO-B depending
upon which was being used when manual search was
selected.  As a result VFO-A will display the lower
frequency and VFO-B the upper.  This can also be useful
if you wish to quickly change the band edges of manual
search and restart the process.
Accept the frequency from manual search mode
If you wish to stop the manual search and monitor an
interesting busy frequency, it is necessary to transfer the
frequency to VFO-D where it may be monitored without
the search process resuming as the frequency clears.
To transfer the frequency press 
 while the frequency
is busy.  The frequency will be transferred to VFO-D and
the legend “VD” will be displayed on the lower right of the
LCD to confirm operation.
Saving busy frequencies into memory
It is possible to save interesting frequencies into memory.
While stopped on an active frequency press and hold the
 key for more than one second, the MEMORY
INPUT menu will appear.  Select the desired memory
location for storage (refer to section 7-1 of this manual if
you are unsure of the required key strokes).  Press the
 key to accept input, the manual search process
will resume.
12-2  Simple search (VC, VD, VE)
The quickest form of SEARCH is achieved by keying a
start frequency into VFO-C or VFO-D or VFO-E then
pressing the 
 key for more than one second.
1  Press the 
 key a few times until the legend “VC”
(or “VD” or “VE”) is displayed on the lower right corner of
the LCD.
Press and hold the  
key for more than one second
so the “AUTO” legend is displayed to ensure the AR5000
is in AUTOMODE.
In this example let’s assume that the required starting point
is 145.2 MHz, the step size, mode etc will be taken care
of automatically as AUTOMODE is engaged.  Key the
lower start frequency.
      
						

							PAGE  48          AR5000 OPERATING MANUAL
2  To initiate simple frequency search (while “VC” or “VD”
or “VE” is displayed) press and hold the 
 
key for
more than one second (the 
 
or  
keys may
also be held for more than one second to initiate simple
search).
The squelch MUST be closed for the search process to
operate.
The simple search process will start from the displayed
frequency, the legend “SR” (SeaRch) will be added above
the VFO indication to show that SEARCH is in progress.
The MAIN DIAL, SUB DIAL,  or  keys may be
used to reverse the direction of search and force the
search process onward when stopped on a busy
frequency.  The process will halt when a busy frequency
is located, (at default the delay is two seconds after the
transmission clears) then resume searching again when
the frequency is clear.  When simple search reaches the
top frequency range of the receiver (2600 MHz), the
search process will reverse in direction.
Cancelling simple search
Simple search may be cancelled by pressing 
.  The
display will either revert to VFO-C or VFO-D or VFO-E
depending upon which was being used when simple
search was selected.  The VFO will display the original
start frequency.
Accept the frequency from manual search mode
If you wish to stop the simple search and monitor an
interesting busy frequency, it is necessary to transfer the
frequency to VFO-D where it may be monitored without
the search process resuming as the frequency clears.
To transfer the frequency press 
 
while busy.  The
frequency will be transferred to VFO-D and the legend
“VD” displayed on the lower right of the LCD to confirm
operation.
Saving busy frequencies into memory
It is possible to save interesting frequencies into memory.
While stopped on an active frequency press and hold the
 key for more than one second, the MEMORY
INPUT menu will appear.  Select the desired memory
location for storage (refer to section 7-1 of this manual if
you are unsure of the required key strokes). Press the
 key to accept input, the manual search process
will resume.
12-3  Optimising VFO search parameters
The key sequence   
accesses a menu where
the DELAY, L-SQ level squelch and VOICE options may
be set up for VFO search (MANUAL and SIMPLE search).
The legend “V-” indicates that the VFO search setup menu
has been selected.
Search     Comment
DELAY        2.0s      OFF and 0.1 ~ 9.9 seconds
L-SQ           OFF     OFF and 1 ~ 255
VOICE        OFF     OFF and 1 ~ 255 (*)
It is possible to mix combinations of all three
parameters.
VFO SEARCH - DELAY
The DELAY parameter affects the time the AR5000 will
remain on an active frequency in VFO search once the
received signal has disappeared and the squelch closed.
This is particularly useful for customising how long the
receiver will wait for a reply before continuing to search.
For example, when communications are passed back and
forth between a control tower / aircraft which may take a
few seconds.  If you are scanning duplex channels then a
small delay or no delay at all may be preferable.
The limits are OFF and 0.1 to 9.9 seconds (default 2.0
seconds).
Key 
  to access the menu.
DELAY  2.0  
						

							AR5000 OPERATING MANUAL          PAGE 49
VFO SEARCH - LEVEL SQUELCH
The LEVEL SQUELCH parameter causes the receiver
to check the signal strength of 
active frequencies and to
only stop when the signal strength is above a
predetermined level which is programmable in 256 steps.
The limits are OFF and 1 to 255 (default OFF).
Note: It is possible that false signal levels may upset the
operation of LEVEL SQUELCH due to local noise or the
close proximity of computer systems... the lower level
settings may not be usable when high noise is present.
A value of 1 instructs the AR5000 to react to very weak
signal while a value of 255 instructs the AR5000 to react
ONLY to strong signals.  Experimentation will be necessary
with different types of signal to find the best setting for
specific requirements.

12-5  Starting program search
Assuming that the AR5000 is pre-programmed with similar
data to that shown, initiate PROGRAM SEARCH by
pressing 
.  The legends “BANK” and “SR” appear
on the right of the LCD to confirm selection.
To select a specific search bank rotate the SUB DIAL or key
in the two digit bank identifier via the numeric keypad.
The bank number is displayed underneath the legend
“BANK”.  The numeric keypad may also be used while in
search mode to change bank.
For example, to search bank “15” press 
  
while
in search mode, there is no need to press enter.
The lowest frequency in the bank will first appear on the
LCD and will change in an upward direction.  Use the
  
keys or MAIN DIAL to reverse the direction
of search.
Should the receiver stop on an unwanted active frequency,
press the 
 or  keys or rotate the MAIN DIAL to
force the search process to continue.
Note: Bank numbers “00”  and  “01” require preceding
zeros.  Banks “02” to “09” just need the last digit keyed,
the preceding “0” is automatically added by the AR5000
microprocessor.  Banks “10” to “19” require the entry of
both (two) digits.
Example:
To select bank 0 (00) press
 
To select bank 1 (01) press 
To select bank 5 (05) press
To select bank 9 (09) press
To select bank 10 press 
To select bank 19 press 
The key  
has the effect of a TEN key, i.e. bank 13
may 
also be selected as   
in a similar way to the
action of some TV & video remote controls.
12-6  Cancelling, re-starting program
search saving active frequencies
It is possible to cancel program search, resume, save
frequency to VFO where it may be tuned, save frequencies
to memory and more...
Cancelling search
To cancel program search press 
, the display will
return to whichever VFO was last used (VA, VB, VC,
VD, VE).  If you resume program search (by pressing
 
), the process will continue from the frequency in
use when cancelled.
Restarting search
If you resume program search by pressing 
, the
process will continue from the frequency in use when
cancelled.  If however you wish to restart program search
process from the original frequency it is necessary to
re-select the bank.  This can be done by clicking the
