Limitations of SCAN mode

Should a number of different modes and wide range of

frequencies be used, then the SCAN process may be

affected by noise or differences in squelch characteristic

on some frequencies and modes.

To help provide the best operation of SCAN, additional

facilities have been provided should you listen to noisy

frequencies or bands containing carriers, make liberal use

of the AUDIO and PAUSE scan parameters.

8-3 SCANNING a memory bank

Let’s assume that you wish to SCAN the contents of

memory bank “1” (channels 00 ~ 99) which you have been

previously stored with memory data.

There are two ways to start scanning:

1) From

VFO

modes press

enter

MEMORY RECALL

mode then press

again to start scanning.

2) From

MEMORY RECALL

mode press once

only to start scanning. Alternatively press and hold either

the

key for more than one second to

start scanning while in MEMORY RECALL mode.

The “SCAN” legend appears on the LCD to confirm

selection and the AR5000 will start scanning through

memory channels providing they contain data, are not

locked out (PASS), the squelch control is

CLOSED

and

the channel is not busy. ALL MEMORY CHANNELS

WHICH CONTAIN DATA in the current memory bank will

be SCANNED irrespective of mode and frequency. ANY

BLANK (empty) MEMORY CHANNELS which contain no

data will be ignored (skipped).

The memory bank identifier (such as “1”) will be displayed

on the top right of the LCD under the legend “BANK” and

the memory channels displayed

When an

active

channel has been located (busy so the

squelch opens) the scan process will temporarily halt on

the active channel and the full memory location (such as

“103”) will become static on the right of the LCD with the

active frequency displayed to the left.

It is possible to swap between FREQUENCY display and

TEXT display by pressing

(providing text

has been stored in the memory channels).

Note: If text has not been stored in the memory channels

and TEXT DISPLAY has been selected, the AR5000 will

halt on busy channels but no frequency or text will be

displayed... this can be confusing at first. To restore the

frequency display under this condition simply press

Finally when the channel becomes clear again (the signal

disappears and squelch closes), the receiver will wait for

an additional two seconds (initial default) to allow for a

reply on the channel before resuming the scanning

process.

Transfer of memory channel to VFO-E

When stopped on an active channel, press

transfer the memory data (frequency, mode, step,

attenuator etc) to VFO-E where you may tune away from

the channel or listen to it indefinitely until you decide

otherwise.

8-4 Selecting a single memory bank to scan

The memory bank which is currently being scanned will

be displayed in the top right of the LCD under the legend

“BANK” (for example “2”) and channel number will be

changing underneath.

Should you wish to scan a different memory bank rotate

the SUB DIAL.

For example, to select memory bank “5” while currently

scanning bank “3” rotate the SUB DIAL clockwise until the

bank legend “5” is displayed... empty memory banks will

be skipped.

Memory bank “5” will be scanned with channel numbers

changing.

Note: As a short cut it

possible to change bank number

using the numeric keypad, however if an empty memory

bank is selected, the SCAN process will be terminated

and MEMORY RECALL mode will be entered. Only use

the keypad short cut if you

know

the bank contains

memory data.

Alternatively

to activate SCAN of a specific bank, you

may FIRST select the desired bank in memory recall mode

then activate SCAN by pressing the

key or pressing

the

key for more than one second.
