PAGE 2 AR7030 OPERATING MANUAL

2 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the AOR AR7030 high dynamic

range, short wave, all mode receiver. The AR7030 is

designed using the very latest DDS (Direct Digital

Synthesis) technology to ensure the highest levels of

performance and reliability. A TCXO (Temperature

Compensated Crystal Oscillator) is provided for high

stability.

To get the best possible results from your AR7030 we

recommended that you carefully read this manual and

familiarise yourself with the receiver. Many apparent faults

are often due to accidental mis-operation of the receiver

so, if you think there is a problem, carefully read all of the

manual before deciding to return the receiver for repair.

Every effort has been made to make this manual correct

and up to date. Due to continuous development of the

receiver and by error or omission anomalies may be found

and this is acknowledged.

2-2 Overview - read

THIS

if nothing else

The AR7030 receiver pushes forward the frontiers of

performance and microprocessor operation. In order to

get the very best out of the receiver you will need to

carefully read through all the sections of this handbook,

however there are a few points worth noting first:-

a. The receiver has been designed to be compact and

robust enough for transportable operation, and as such

there are relatively few front panel controls. The infrared

remote controller should be considered as an extension

of the front panel, offering single button access to many

primary functions. The receiver can be operated without

the infrared controller but more button presses may be

required to perform the same operation.

The infrared control input is accepted by sensors on both

the front and rear panels of the receiver. If you cannot

reliably enter commands with the controller in close

proximity to the front panel, move it to one side of the

receiver and make sure that an object behind the receiver

will provide a reflection into the rear sensor. The infrared

controller is powered by two AAA size 1.5V batteries

(supplied) which have to be fitted before it can be used...

observe the polarity carefully.

You cannot harm the receiver by pressing buttons, turning

knobs or exploring the menu options - experiment without

worry. Only by using the receiver will you become fully

conversant with its operation.

If you really mess up the settings, a LOAD DEFAULT

facility has been included so that you can return the set to

its out-of-box condition (except for frequency memory

contents). Loading the defaults will ensure:- sensible filters

are selected for each mode of reception, no PBS offset,

no BFO offset for CW and DATA modes, maximum IF

gain with AGC on, auto synchronous AM, auto RF

attenuation, flat tone control settings, standard line output

levels etc.

To load the default settings, press

(to return to the

SETUP menu), rotate the spin-wheel

one click anti-

clockwise so that the legend Deflt Set is displayed, and

then press the

button. Loaded .. is briefly displayed

in place of the clock to confirm selection.

Should the filters appear incorrectly aligned or non-

symmetrical, please refer to FILTER CALIBRATION in

section 6-2 and look through section 6-1.

b. The receiver does not have a standard format of

display readout - it can be configured to display time or

pass band shift or filter selection or treble / bass tone

selection or VFO selection or AGC or memory

configuration... whatever YOU choose. The spin-wheel

and the button will retain their last assigned

functions when the

button is pressed allowing a

selected function to be changed whilst the S-meter is

displayed.

To return to the SETUP menu and CLOCK display, press

. To display the S-meter and return to the root level

of the menu system, press

You may tune the receiver, change the volume and

reception mode or select fast tune whilst any menu is

shown on the display because these front panel controls

have only one dedicated function. These are fixed controls,

and are indicated in this manual with white lettering on a

black background, similar to the lettering on the front panel.

Similarly the

and buttons always have a

defined function. The other receiver controls, arranged

beneath the display, are referred to as SOFT-KEYS,

because their function varies according to the context of

the selected menus. In these cases the control description

is displayed on the receiver’s LCD and in this manual with

black lettering on a grey background. When no menu is

displayed on the LCD - when the S-meter is shown - then

the underlying buttons select the menu indicated on the

panel:- MEMORY, RF / IF or FILTER.

c. Each mode can have, and will retain, a different filter

bandwidth (chosen from those available), pass band shift

(PBS) setting, BFO setting and AGC speed. When

adjusting any of these settings the values are changed

only for the current mode selected. Squelch value for NFM

mode is held separately from the value for all other modes.
