AR5000 brief production history
The AR5000 first appeared in 1996, the serial numbers were 5xxxx (six digit numbers starting
with the number five). In the first few months of production, some beefing up of the internal
power PCB took place, a trimmer was added to the SSB insertion oscillator (PCB) and some
noise reducing changes added (DDS decoupling, change of RS232 device).
A revision to operation (firmware) appeared after about one year, the serial numbers changed
to 07xxxx (six digit numbers starting zero seven with four digits following).
A board change occurred around serial number 070661 when the AR5000+3 additions
appeared (Synchronous AM, noise blanker, AFC). If the serial number is lower than 070661
we cannot retrospectively add the +3 options
:
Around 070661 the EEPROM switching
was revised so that an alternate bank of memories
and search banks could be switched (doubling the memory capability).
Minor firmware revisions have taken place since, mainly to boost the durability of EEPROM
when under computer control (commercial operators).
The AR5000C is a frequency coherent version of the AR5000, designed for commercial
operators.
Current serial numbers (February 2003) are around 077xxx.
Retrospective and free updates are NOT available. The AR5000 has been designed &
manufactured by AOR Japan who are officially responsible for international distribution and

AR5000 1kHz filter modification
We have had several enquiries regarding the fitting of a 1kHz data filter to the AR5000; in
particular the CFJ455K8 which we originally sourced for our AR7030 HF receiver. The main
problem in fitting this filter to the AR5000 is the physical incompatibility; we have found
however that by turning the filter upside down you can attach short leads to it and connect it
in the MF1 Collins 500Hz filter position on the AR5000 IF board without any great difficulty.
The diagram below shows the CFJ455K8 filter connection details. All three earth connections
should be connected together using tinned copper wire and then soldered to the original
Collins earth connection using thick tinned copper wire to achieve a good physical stability on
the board. Short lengths of wire can now be used to make the in/out connections between the
filter and PCB. If you require a more permanent fixing of the filter to the board we suggest
