The AR5000 has a standard RS232 REMOTE port for
connection to a computer (such as a PC) and other
equipment such as the SDU5000 spectrum display unit
to enable remote control operation of the receiver.
The speed as which the AR5000 communicates with an
external device may be controlled using the CONFIG
menu. If the speed does not match EXACTLY that of an
external device, communication will not be established.
To select the remote control speed (BPS Bits Per Second),
the CONFIG menu is used. To access the CONFIG menu
