¶
Always press the [ENT] key of the AR8000 in RECEIVE mode first so that
it is ready to accept data.
¶
Press the [CLEAR] key of the receiver prior to the retry if the failure is
due to incorrect connections or an error in key sequence.

An alternative method may be used to connect two AR8000 receivers for data
CLONE. Two CU8232 interfaces may be employed with each AR8000
connected to the [PROGRAM] socket. The RS232 9-pin connectors are
linked using a three wire crossed cable:
CU8232
CU8232
Pin 2
Pin 3
Pin 3
Pin 2
Pin 5
Pin 5
No other pins are used.

(4) Connection for RS232 operation
The remote facility enables the AR8000 to be operated via a computer such as an
IBM-PC or similar, basic remote control terminal or dedicated software will be
required to address the AR8000 through the CU8232.
Switching the receiver On/Off, setting of volume and adjustment of squelch cannot
be achieved via the RS232 port.
Computers “always” generate RF noise which may interfere with the AR8000
reception if the standard helical rubber aerial is used. To reduce the effects of
noise, use of a remote aerial is highly recommended with good quality 50 OHM
coaxial cable employed.
