6-20 CONFIG - Advanced aerial switching
The aerial input selection is made via a menu activated
by the key sequence
. Be careful when
selecting this menu, if you hold the
key for more
that one second the AUTO/MANUAL RF preselection
menu will be activated instead, in which case press
.
The
SUB DIAL
is used to select input via either of the two
rear panel aerial sockets (ANT 1 for the N-type input and
ANT 2 for the SO239). Additional aerials (ANT 3 &
ANT 4) may also be controlled providing the optional
AS5000 switching unit is in use. AUTO may be selected
where the aerial will be automatically switched based upon
the programming of frequency / aerial data.
Auto aerial switching outline
It is possible to program the AR5000 to automatically
switch the aerial input used (aerials 1 & 2 at default or
aerial 1, 2, 3 & 4 with the optional AS5000 aerial switching
unit) depending upon receive frequency. This allows the
operator to optimise the listening setup by programming
the AR5000 to automatically select the most appropriate
aerial out of a choice of several which may be available.
The CONFIG menu is used to enter programming with
the
MAIN DIAL
,
SUB DIAL
and
key being used during
data input.
Automatic aerial switching (depending upon whether
manual or automatic aerial switching have been selected)
may be used in VFO, memory recall & scan modes,
program search may also be configured to use automatic
aerial switching.
First determine the required aerial switching bandplan,
automatic aerial selection may be specified down to
hundreds of kHz (i.e. 145.100 MHz, 7.1 MHz etc). If the
required switching is simply ANT 2 for 10 kHz ~ 30 MHz
(the SO239 socket for HF) the process is very easy, if
more complex then it is suggested that a table be written
onto paper (see later in this section 6-20) to form a clear
picture of what is required. Each aerial may be
programmed for 10 separate frequency ranges (each
being referred to as a channel, ANT 1 channel 0 ~ 9,
ANT 2 channel 0 ~ 9 etc).
Note: If you overlap frequency ranges for different aerials,
the lowest aerial number will take precedence. If no
specific frequency programming has been made, ANT 1
will be chosen as default.
Basic programming (setting defaults)
1 First ensure that AUTO aerial switching has been
selected. To review and change the selection press
to access the aerial selection menu. Press
the
key to select “

the AR5000 !) don’t get confused. Press
to access the CONFIG menu. Use the
keys to locate the aerial selection menu, the legend “ANT”
flashes on the left of the LCD (two presses of
or
four presses of
).
