12-19 AUTO-STORE
The auto-store (A.STORE) facility enables the first 100
busy frequencies located during search to be automatically
saved in memory bank “
0 0 0 0 0 ” for later review and scanning.
When shipped from the factory auto-store is switched OFF.
The first 100 active frequencies will be automatically
stored into memory in ascending memory channel order
from 000 ~ 099 until all 100 channels have been used.
Active frequencies located after the 100th channel has
been used will not be stored, this limitation is to prevent
unnecessary writing to the EEPROM data store. Active
frequencies located within 10 kHz of a previously stored
frequency will not be stored... this is to prevent the same
frequency from being saved over and over again.
When you first wish to use auto-store, it is best to delete
the contents of memory bank “
0 0
0 0
0 ” (where the search
frequencies will be automatically saved to memory), in
order to provide meaningful information.
Deleting ALL channels from memory bank “ 0 0 0 0 0 ”
before using AUTO-STORE
Ensure the AR5000 is in VFO or memory recall mode, if
in doubt press
To access the “
DEL MEM-CH DEL MEM-CH DEL MEM-CH DEL MEM-CH DEL MEM-CH
” menu, press
then press and hold the
key for more than one
second. Use the
keys until the legend
“ DEL MEM-CH DEL MEM-CH
DEL MEM-CH DEL MEM-CH
DEL MEM-CH ” is displayed.
DEL MEM-CH <<< DEL MEM-CH <<<

Use the
SUB DIAL
to select bank “ 0 0 0 0 0 ”. The legend “* *”
displayed under the bank number shows that this bank
contains data and all channels have been selected for
delete (the legend “- -” indicates that the memory bank
does not contain data).
To erase the selected bank press , after about two
seconds the “* *” legend will change to “- -” to indicate that
the contents have been deleted.
Press
or to return to SCAN or VFO mode
depending on which one was previously in use.
Starting AUTO-STORE
First turn the auto-store facility ON (default is OFF).
To access the auto-store On/Off menu, the BANK LINK /
SETUP menu has to be used. Press
,
initially the BANK LINK menu is displayed. Use the
key to locate the menu “
A.STORE A.STORE A.STORE A.STORE A.STORE ”.

The
key toggles between OFF and ON. Press
to select ON then press
to accept the
changes. The AR5000 will revert to SCAN, SEARCH or
VFO mode depending upon which was previously in use.
Place the receiver into program search mode by pressing
(manual search or simple search may also be
used). Select any search bank containing data and allow
the set to search and find active channels. Active
frequencies will now be automatically written to memory
bank “
0 0
0 0
0 ” channels 000 ~ 099 in ascending order until all
100 have been used.
Reviewing automatically stored memory channels
You may review the frequencies which have been written
automatically to memory bank “
0 0 0 0 0 ” by entering MEMORY
RECALL MODE.
First place the AR5000 into memory recall mode by
pressing the
key once (unless it is in SCAN mode
in which case you should press
followed by
).
Select memory bank “ 0 0 0 0 0 ” by rotating the
SUB DIAL
or keying
in the first memory location of bank “ 0 0 0 0 0 ” via the numeric
keypad . The keys or
MAIN DIAL
may be used to review the memory channel
data.
What to do with the automatically stored data
Once data has been stored, it may be deleted (as
described earlier in this section), scanned by placing the
AR5000 into scan mode then selecting bank “
0 0
0 0
0 ” or
MOVED to another memory location by recalling it to
VFO-E (by pressing
) and entering the data into
another channel to form the basis of a useful data bank.
(13) Frequency Pass
Frequency pass is different to channel pass (used to
temporarily lock out unwanted memory channels) because
frequency pass allows individual FREQUENCIES to be
passed so they will be skipped over when in program
search mode. This can be useful to remove blank carriers
or unwanted signals from continually stopping the search
process.
Each of the twenty search banks have 100 PASS
frequencies plus 100 further for use in VFO mode (manual
& simple search) making a total of 2100 pass frequencies.
