AR5000c - frequency coherent
When making critical
measurements, the frequency
coherence is very important
whether a single or multiple unit is
employed. Just like optical
telescopes, the output from
several receivers may be ADDED
together to provide greater
performance, however their
frequencies must be absolutely
coherent. This involves the use of
a single reference for all oscillators
employed throughout the receiver.
Several receivers may then be
connected to a single external
frequency standard safe in the
knowledge that their outputs will
be coherent.
The AR5000c now provides this
commercially required capability.
The “C” version may be provided
to order in either the standard
AR5000 format or with two of the
+3 additions of AFC and NB. If
you are a commercial operator
with this application in mind,
please request the separate
specification information for the
AR5000c.
AR5000+3 - Sync AM, AFC, NB
The “+3” version offers even
more with synchronous AM (upper
side band, lower side band and
double side band with excellent
lock range), AFC (Automatic
Frequency Control for accurately
tracking moving transmissions or
unusual band plans) and Noise
Blanker.

★★★★✩★★★★✩
★★★★✩★★★★✩
★★★★✩ AR5000+3 awarded four stars by both the authoritative
Passport To World Band Radio and World Radio & TV Handbook
Passport to World Band Radio’99.
“Front-end selectivity, image rejection, IF rejection,
weak-signal sensitivity, AGC threshold and frequency
stability all superior”.
“Unlike virtually every other receiver we have tested
over the past 21 years, the frequency readout is
unfailingly accurate to the nearest Hertz. This should
make the AR5000+3 of exceptional interest to
broadcast engineers”.
World Radio TV Handbook’99.
Speaking of the AR5000+3 in conclusion...
“Compared with the ICOM ICR-8500 it offers
considerably more features, better strong-signal
handling, wider coverage and decidedly superior
filters".
