8.1 Video output PAL and NTSC composite output is switchable via the rear panel video switch. When PAL format is selected the built-in LCD display will be inoperative. Video output is available via the rear panel video PHONO socket. 8.2 Audio output Constant audio output is available via this PHONO socket, a load impedance of 10k OHMS is assumed for constant level output. 9 RS232C The AR7000 can be operated remotely by a personal computer via the RS232C socket. A separate RS232 command list may be available from the AOR web site or head office. First check http://www.aorja.com or contact Kiyo Oshima at AOR Ltd, Japan for further details.

Aim the front of the remote at the front panel IR sensor to the AR7000. Most IR keys mimic those of the AR7000 and menus. The IR [POWER] key is valid only when the power switch of the receiver is switched on (depressed). The IR uses 2 x AAA batteries,
check the condition of the batteries regularly to avoid damage due to leakage from exhausted batteries. 12 Reference data 12.1 Specification Frequency range 100kHz - 2000MHz Receive mode FM (W), FM (N), AM, CW, USB, LSB Receiver circuitry Triple superheterodyne & digital conversion IF frequency 1st=275.4MHz,782.28MHz, 2nd=45MHz, 3rd=10.7MHz Step size 10Hz - 1MHz in a 10Hz increment Sensitivity (uV) typical Range AM CW/SSB NFM WFM 100kHz - 700kHz 4.2 1.6 4.0 - 700kHz - 20MHz 3.5 1.5 2.0 - 20MHz - 1200MHz 1.3 0.5 0.56 1.3 1200MHz - 2000MHz 4.0 2.0 1.6 3.5 Selectivity Bandwidth Mode Pass band (-3dB) Stop band (-50dB) 50Hz CW 75Hz 330Hz 150Hz CW 200Hz 680Hz 250Hz CW 330Hz 920Hz 500Hz CW 550Hz 1050Hz 800Hz CW 880Hz 1650Hz 2kHz SSB 2150Hz 2900Hz 2.5kHz SSB 2650Hz 3450Hz 3kHz SSB 3150Hz 3950Hz 3kHz AM 3650Hz 5000Hz 6kHz AM 6650Hz 8000Hz 8kHz AM 8700Hz 10kHz 15kHz NFM 25kHz -40dB 150kHz WFM 650kHz -20dB IF shift +/-8.5kHz (max) at 100Hz step Audio filter 2.5 / 3kHz (NFM 7.5kHz (WFM) CW tone 400 / 600 / 800 Hz Audio output 1.0W (8 OHM THD 10%) Power requirements 12V (+15%, -10%) Current consumption 1.5A (at 1.0W audio)

of the receiver.
12.3 Trouble shooting
1. No operation
‘Check that power is connected to the AR7000 and the power switch is on
(depressed).
2. No display
‘Providing the AR7000 is powered, ensure the rear panel PAL/NTSC slide switch is set to NTSC otherwise the internal display will be disabled. 3. Inoperative keys ‘Ensure that the “Lock” legend is not displayed in the lower-left corner of the LCD, if it is, press the [K.Lock] for more than one second to toggle key lock off / on. ‘The primary function of keys requires a very short press (tap), if you hold them too long you may activate the second function or the keys may appear to be inoperative. ‘If you get stuck in a particular menu (and the [ESC] key doesn’t help), it may be worth switching the unit off, count to five then switch it back on again. ‘In the case of the infrared controller, ensure that the batteries are in good condition and the front on the controller is pointed directly at the AR7000 IR front panel sensor. 4. Poor performance ‘Ensure that you have selected an active frequency and are using an appropriate receive mode and IF bandwidth, ensure that excessive IF SHIFT has not been applied. ‘Check that the squelch control is not fully advanced, set it temporarily to “OPEN” and try again. ‘Ensure that a suitable aerial is connected to the BNC aerial input and no short circuits exist in the coaxial cable or plugs. ‘Check to see if the “ATT” legend is displayed near the top right of the LCD, if it is, the receive performance will be reduced. Press the [ATT] key for more than one second to disengage the attenuator. 12.4 Optional accessories ‘DA3000 Wide band VHF/UHF 16 element discone aerial with frequency coverage from 25MHz to 2GHz. Supplied with 15m of coaxial cable terminated in a BNC plug. ‘SA7000 Two element passive wide band aerial. The VHF element is 0.7m and the HF element is 1.8m in length. Frequency coverage is 30kHz to 2GHz. Supplied with 15m of coaxial cable terminated in a BNC plug. ‘MA500 Mobile magnetic mounted aerial with frequency coverage from 25MHz to 1300MHz. Supplied with 4m of coaxial cable terminated in a BNC plug. ‘LA320
Table-top active short wave loop aerial. Supplied with two elements as standard covering from 1.6MHz to 5.0MHz and 5.0MHz to 15MHz. Operates from internal 9V battery. Supplied with BNC to BNC coaxial patch lead. ‘LA320M Low frequency optional element for the LA320 active loop aerial system. Frequency coverage is 200kHz to 540kHz. ‘LA320M Medium frequency optional element for the LA320 active loop aerial system. Frequency coverage is 540kHz to 1.6MHz. ‘ABF125 Airband filter for the VHF band 108 to 136 MHz. Fitted with BNC male/female connectors. 12.5 After sales service There are no user serviceable parts inside the AR7000. In the unlikely event of failure, first check through the suggestions listed in section 12.3 of this manual.
