RF / IF menu - the LCD will show Gain above the
spin-wheel, but this is IF gain (see section 6-11) - the
RF gain setting is shown in the centre of the display
between up and down arrows. For example < RF+00 >
indicates the normal setting.
Pressing the buttons below the up or down arrows changes
the RF gain setting. The value displayed is actually the
maximum value that the receiver will use. Unless
specifically disabled (see section 9-4) the RF gain will be...

indicating this as the spin-wheel function. When the spin-
wheel is turned, the squelch level (as a percentage) will
be displayed at the top left of the LCD for about 5 seconds.
When the squelch level is advanced above the current
signal strength, a reversed S is displayed to the left of the
frequency readout.
The VFO menu is split into two parts - each can be selected
using the 
 or  soft-keys. In the second part
of the menu there is a soft-key labelled Mut...

From the above illustration, pressing the  soft-key
again would produce:
7-3 Dual VFO operation
The AR7030 can implement a scanning system between
the two VFOs termed DUAL VFO operation. This facility
is more versatile than the memory scanning (section 8)
because each VFO can have individual volume, delay and
hold characteristics. This can be especially useful for
automatically checking for activity on an amateur band
net frequency or for checking international...

7.Finally activate dual VFO by pressing the  soft-
key. Scanning can be stopped by pressing this key
again. Whilst scanning you can go to either VFO menu
(using the 
 and  soft-keys) and display
the S-meter (using the 
 button) - selecting any
other menu will stop scanning, but leave all items set
up ready to start again when required.
The receiver will monitor the second VFO for 1 second
every 15 seconds. Should the VFO containing 5680kHz
become active, the HOLD...

you wish this frequency to be overwritten, press .
If you want to keep memory 12 unaltered, then choose
another memory before storing. The next or previous
memories can be selected using the 
 or 
keys (then ), or a new memory number can be
keyed in.
From the front panel choose the MEMORY menu - use

is displayed above the spin-wheel, and a preview of the
memory frequency displayed above that.
Use the spin-wheel to select the...

Mxx  The memory number displayed before the
arrow is the first channel of the block of memories to be
scanned. Pressing the 
 soft-key allows the spin-
wheel to modify this (spin-wheel legend is From).

 The memory number displayed after the arrow
is the last channel of the block of memories to be scanned.
Pressing the 
 soft-key allows the spin-wheel to

5.Start the scanning process with the  soft-key
(the bullet will be filled when scan is running). The
memory channel currently being monitored is shown
above the Scan legend. Press 
 again if you
want to stop the scan.
The squelch threshold can be adjusted for each of the
memories (if necessary) during this first scan pass. When
the squelch level is changed the new value will
automatically be stored in the memory channel whilst the
scan is active. Also the scan...

9 Setup, Timer and Config menu options
The SETUP menu allows access to the three receiver
setup memories: A, B and C. The CONFIG menu allows
various manual / automatic options to be set and the
auxiliary output levels adjusted. It is also the route to the
filter calibration routine. Both of these menus differ from
all of the other receiver menus in that item selection is
made by rotating the spin-wheel. Both menus have eight
items so it doesn’t take too long to...

The sleep time will count down to zero, when the radio
will switch off. The receiver can still be tuned, modes
changed and volume adjusted. To cancel the sleep timer
press the 
 or  buttons. The sleep timer is
synchronised to the clock so that it changes when the clock
seconds are at zero. For this reason one minute is added
to the run time so that the set doesn’t switch off too soon.
Setting the timer for automatic switch-on: The switch-
on timer is set in 24-hr...
