AR8600 RECEIVER

- any time, any place

wide band all mode receiver 530 kHz - 2040 MHz with RS232 port

The AR8600 is an extremely versatile receiver which can be used virtually anywhere, mobile, base or trans-portable...

powered from an external 12V d.c. power supply, optional d.c. lead from a 12V vehicle or from an optional internally fitted

NiCad battery pack. A strong twin metal case with die cast front panel characterises the multi-purpose role. All mode

receive capability is provided including Single Side Band with programmable tuning steps down to a resolution of 50Hz

with the frequency established by a highly accurate Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO). An RS232 port

further extends the capabilities with free supporting control software available from the AOR web sites.

It is challenging to characterise such a versatile receiver which offers compactness for

mobile integration, the performance for base applications and trans-portability from the

optional internal NiCad pack (BP8600).

Although many microprocessor features have been adopted from the trendsetting

AR8200 Series-2 hand portable receiver, the AR8600 RF front-end is an all new design

with preselection around VHF to ensure the highest levels of adjacent channel rejection

with software spurii cancellation. In addition to a hinged telescopic whip aerial, the

AR8600 is supplied with a detachable plug in medium wave bar aerial which locates

on the rear chassis of the receiver for localised medium wave monitoring. An additional

BNC socket is mounted on the rear chassis so that 10.7MHz i.f. output may be

extracted for use with external spectrum display and vector analyser units such as the

AOR SDU5500. The TCXO ensures high stability with minimal internal spurii and is

usually only seen in top of the range (more expensive) table-top models such as the

AR5000 and AR7030.

Centre stage is a custom multi-section back-lit LCD, numeric keypad, navigation keys,

rotary tuning control and separate controls for volume and squelch control, the LCD

can also display alpha-numeric text comments. The chassis is manufactured from

two metal compartments, effectively a metal chassis inside a metal cabinet… this

provides excellent screening characteristics and great robustness highlighting its multi

application role. The front panel is also manufactured from die-cast aluminium.

The all important 8.33 kHz airband channel step is

correctly implemented

(eight-and-one-third, 33, 66, 00). Channel steps are provided in a menu and may be

programmed. Step may be programmed by the operator in any receive mode using

multiples of 50 Hz in any mode (i.e. 5 kHz, 12.5 kHz or even 1.25 kHz). Extensive

step-adjust and frequency offset facilities are also provided (as per AR5000) to

ensure tracking of the most obscure band plans, AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) is

included for spot on tuning ensuring that nothing is missed. A wide frequency coverage

is available from 530 kHz to 2040 MHz (no gaps) with actual minimum acceptable

frequency of 100 kHz.
