&Note: In AM and FM

modes with the squelch

open, reception will be

momentarily interrupted

while tuning and the “S”

squelch legend will flash

as tuning progresses, a

‘chuff-chuff’ sound will

accompany tuning, this

is normal.

Fast tuning

The ï and ð keys may be used to tune the receiver at a rate TEN TIMES FASTER than the selected

step size. This means that when a step size of 25 kHz is selected, tuning will be in 250 kHz steps, this

provides a convenient method to quickly tune up and down frequency bands.

&Note: Be aware that when auto-mode is selected and a tuning step change has

automatically taken place, one PUSH up or down may take several pushes to arrive back to

the starting place again.

1 MHz tuning

While the “FUNC” legend is displayed (achieved by a of the key, again to

deactivate as a toggle), the tuning rate for the ñ and ò keys is 1 MHz per increment.

3-6 Changing frequency using the main dial

While in VFO mode, the active VFO frequency may be ‘tuned’ in a similar way to a domestic receiver or

other specialist receivers using the rotary tuning main dial which is mounted on the left hand side of the

cabinet. This is best controlled using the thumb of you left hand (with the set held in your left hand), it

may also be tuned using the middle finger of your right hand or in whatever way you find comfortable.

This method of frequency selection is the most traditional approach to locating signals particularly on

the short wave and medium wave bands. It provides an easy method to locate new or previously

unknown frequencies or to check activity within certain frequency bands such as amateur or short wave

broadcast. The rotary tuning main dial provides the very best ‘user interface’ with the AR8200 especially

for USB, LSB and CW listening.

Rotating the main dial ‘upward’ increases frequency while

rotation ‘downward’ decreases receive frequency.

The speed at which the main dial tunes the receiver depends upon the STEP SIZE which is default to

AUTO. Examples of tuning step include: 0.05 kHz (50 Hz), 0.1 kHz (100 Hz), 0.2 kHz (200 Hz), 0.5 kHz

(500 Hz), 1.00 kHz, 2.00 kHz, 5.00 kHz, 6.25 kHz, 8.33 kHz, 9.00 kHz, 10.00 kHz, 12.50 kHz, 20 kHz,

25.00 kHz, 30 kHz, 50 kHz, 100.00 kHz. The tuning step size may also be programmed in multiples of

50 Hz (via the keypad) so that unusual step sizes other than stated are possible.

While the “FUNC” legend is displayed (achieved by a of the key, again to

deactivate as a toggle), the tuning rate for the main dial is TEN TIMES FASTER than the selected step

size. This means that when a step size of 10 kHz is selected, tuning will be in 100 kHz steps, this

provides a convenient method to quickly tune up and down frequency bands.
