Assuming that the AR5000 is pre-programmed with similar
data to that shown, initiate PROGRAM SEARCH by
pressing
. The legends “BANK” and “
SR
SR
SR
SR
SR
” appear
on the right of the LCD to confirm selection.
To select a specific search bank rotate the
SUB DIAL
or key
in the two digit bank identifier via the numeric keypad.
The bank number is displayed underneath the legend
“BANK”. The numeric keypad may also be used while in
search mode to change bank.
For example, to search bank “
15
15
15
15
15
” press
while
in search mode, there is no need to press enter.
The lowest frequency in the bank will first appear on the
LCD and will change in an upward direction. Use the
keys or
MAIN DIAL
to reverse the direction
of search.
Should the receiver stop on an unwanted active frequency,
press the
or
keys or rotate the
MAIN DIAL
to
force the search process to continue.
Note: Bank numbers “
00
00
00

To select bank 9 (09) press
To select bank 10 press
To select bank 19 press
The key
has the effect of a TEN key, i.e. bank 13
may also be selected as
in a similar way to the
action of some TV & video remote controls.
12-6 Cancelling, re-starting program
search saving active frequencies
It is possible to cancel program search, resume, save
frequency to VFO where it may be tuned, save frequencies
to memory and more...
Cancelling search
To cancel program search press
, the display will
return to whichever VFO was last used (
VA
,
VB
,
VC
,
VD
,
VE
). If you resume program search (by pressing
), the process will continue from the frequency in
use when cancelled.
Restarting search
If you resume program search by pressing
, the
process will continue from the frequency in use when
cancelled. If however you wish to restart program search
process from the original frequency it is necessary to
re-select the bank. This can be done by clicking the
SUB DIAL
one step then back or by keying in the bank
number again.
Accept the frequency from program search mode
If you wish to stop the program search and monitor an
interesting busy frequency, it is necessary to transfer the
desired frequency to VFO-D where it may be monitored
without the search process starting as the frequency clears.
To transfer the frequency press
while the frequency
is busy. The frequency will be transferred to VFO-D and
the legend “
VD
VD
VD
VD
VD
” will be displayed on the lower right of the
LCD to confirm operation.
Saving busy frequencies into memory
It is possible to save interesting frequencies into memory.
While stopped on an active frequency press and hold the
key for more than one second. The MEMORY
INPUT menu will appear. Select the desired memory
location for storage (refer to section 7-1 of this manual if
you are unsure of the required key strokes). When the
is pressed to accept input, the program search
process will resume.
