This is a data breakdown of:
Search bank C
Lower (start) frequency 118.50 MHz
Upper (end) frequency 135.90 MHz
Automode ON  (this means that mode & step are ignored so
        do not have to be specified as will be taken
        from the receivers preprogrammed data)

The SS command is used to start the search process from either the current or
specified search bank.
To start searching from the current search bank use the format  SS[ï]
To start searching from a specified search bank use the format  SSx[ï]
where

ST
Tuning step size.
The ST command is used in conjunction with several other commands to set the
tuning or search increment.  Multiple command entry is possible with AT, AU, MD,
RF, ST, VA & VB (with a space separating each command).
The format of the command is ST nnnnm0[ï] (Hz)
or
ST nnn.nm[ï] (kHz)
m = 0 or 5 (tens of Hz position), 0 must always be zero - any other entry will
be ignored.  Any step size is possible in multiples of 50 Hz up to 999.995 kHz.
Note:  When step size is entered AUTOMODE is automatically switched OFF.
To view the current setting of step size use the command  ST[ï]
A typical response may be   ST020000  which would be 20 kHz.
A typical multiple command may be  AU0_MD3_RF145.2_ST010.[ï]

This command cannot be used on its own but must be used in conjunction with
the SE command, please refer to the section on SE.
SUUpper frequency limit nnnnnnnnm0 (Hz)
or
nnnn.nnnnm (MHz)
m = 0 or 5 (tens of Hz position), 0 must always be 0 any other entry will be
ignored.  Input below 1.6 MHz is displayed in kHz.

The TI command is used to set the priority interval time (how long to wait between
checking the priority channel for activity).
To check the current setting use the format  TI[ï]
The response will be  TInn  where nn  =  01 ~ 19 seconds.
A typical response may look like  TI13
To change the timing use the format  TInn[ï]  where nn  =  01 ~ 19 seconds.

characters or characters from the table (below) may be entered.  Blank table
entries [  ]  represent a blank space.  Please refer to the  MX  command for full
details of use.

VA   V B
Check and change the receive frequency of VFOA or VFOB.
The VB and VB commands may be used to read the current frequency from
VFOA or VFOB and to write a new receive frequency.  Both commands are used
in the same manner, VA addressing VFOA and VB addressing VFOB.
To read the current  receive frequency of VFO A use the format  VA[ï]
A typical response may be:
VA0001134000_ST009000_AU1_MD2_AT0
2VFO MODE VFO A, receive frequency 1.134 MHz, channel step size 9 kHz,
automode ON, receive mode AM, attenuator OFF.
To read the current receive frequency of VFO B use the format VB[ï]
A typical response may be:
VB0145040000_ST020000_AU1_MD1_AT0
To write a new frequency to VFO A and switch to 2VFO mode use the format:
VAnnnnnnnnm0  (Hz)
VA nnnn.nnnnm  (MHz)
where m = 0 or 5 in the 10Hz position.  0 in the Hz position is always 0, any
other value will be ignored.  Frequencies below 1.6 MHz are displayed as kHz.
A typical input to write a new frequency of 433.250 MHz to VFO B would be:
VB433.25[ï]
Multiple command entry is possible (using AT, AU, MD, RF, ST) with a space
separating each command:  AU0_MD3_VB433.2[ï]

VF
Switch to 2VFO mode.
The VF command is used to place the receiver into 2VFO mode.  The data from
the current VFO (A or B) is automatically reported.
Use the command  VF[ï]
A typical response may be:  VA0433040000_ST0200000_AU1_MD1_AT0
The date representing 2VFO mode, VFOA active, receive frequency 433.04 MHz,
20 kHz channel step, Automode ON, receive mode NFM, attenuator ON.
Another response may be (for VFOB):  
VB0145080000_ST020000_AU1_MD1_AT0

XA
Audio scan ON / OFF.
The XA command is used to check the current setting of audio scan mode and
change the status as required.
To check the current status use the format  XA[ï]
The response will be XA0  =  audio scan OFF
XA1  =  audio scan ON
To change the status of audio scan ON / OFF use the format:
XAn[ï] where   n  =  0  audio scan OFF
            n  =  1  audio scan ON

XB
Level scan ON / OFF.
The XB command is used to check the current setting of level scan mode and
change the status as required.
VF : XA : XB 
						

							- 47 -
To check the current status use the format  XB[ï]
The response will be XB0  =  level scan OFF
XB1 ~ XB7  =  level scan ON
To change the status of level scan ON / OFF use the format:
XBn[ï] where  n  =  0  level scan OFF
           n  =  1 ~ 7 level scan ON
for example SB3 means level scan set to
threshold 3

XD
Scan delay time.
The XD command is used to check and set the scan delay time.
To check the current setting use the format:  XD[ï]
The response will be  XDnn  where  nn  =  time incremented in tenths of seconds
(100mS),  the value of nn is between 00 ~ 9.9  When nn = 00  scan delay is OFF.
For example a response of  XD5.2  would indicate scan delay time is set to 5.2
seconds while a response of  XD00  indicates that scan delay is OFF.
To change the setting of scan delay time use the format:
XDnn[ï]  where  nn  =  00 ~ 9.9
The value being incremented in tenths of seconds (100mS) and 00 being scan
delay OFF.

The response will be: XM0  =  WFM
XM1  =  NFM
XM2  =  A M
XM3  =  USB
XM4  =  LSB
XM5  =  C W
XMF  =  ALL MODE  (effectively scan mode off)
To change the setting of mode scan use the format:  XMn[ï]
where:
n  = 0 WFM
n  =  1 NFM
n  =  2 A M
n  =  3 USB
n  =  4 LSB
n  =  5 C  W
n  =  F OFF - ALL MODES will be scanned.

XP
Change free scan time in scan mode.
The XP command is used to review and change the setting of free scan time when
in scan mode.
To review the current setting use the command XP[ï]
The response will be in the format:
XPnn where nn  =  01 ~ 99 free scan time in seconds
nn  =  00  free scan mode OFF
Examples are: XP52  =  free scan time of 52 seconds
XP00  =  free scan mode OFF
To change the current setting of  free scan mode use the format XPnn[ï]
where: nn  =  01 ~ 99 free scan time in seconds
nn  =  00  free scan mode OFF
For example, an input of  XP15[ï]  would activate free scan mode with a delay
time of 15 seconds.

UP / DOWN arrows.
The  é ê arrow commands have largely the same effect as the arrow keys
on the front panel of the AR8000 receiver.  In VFO mode the frequency is
incremented upward or downward, in memory recall mode the next channel is
selected and in search/scan modes the direction of search/scan may be reversed.
The value for é  is h1E (HEX DECIMAL) and the command may be sent
using the format   é[ï]
The value for    ê is h1F (HEX DECIMAL) and the command may be sent
using the format    ê[ï]
