being 71.018750 MHz). The receiver is now tuning in 12.5 kHz steps with a
step offset of +6.25 kHz.
Note: The STEP OFFSET is always in a positive direction (+) when selected
and is calculated as being HALF of the STEP SIZE. STEP OFFSET is only
available when the step size is 10 kHz or more.
By this measure, a 25 kHz STEP size will have a STEP OFFSET of 12.5 kHz.
A 30 kHz STEP size will have a STEP OFFSET of 15 kHz.
SET OFFSET is available in VFO and search modes. The default bandplan
data may already contain STEP OFFSET in its default programming for certain
market areas.
6-11 Changing receive mode (AUTO)
As mentioned earlier (section 6-9 of this manual), the specification for step and
mode are allocated by departments of Government following International
discussions. Like step size, the receive mode has been preprogrammed at the
factory to simplify operation of the receiver while you familiarise yourself with
all the facilities.
Should you wish, the defaults may me manually overridden at any time should
you wish to select an alternative receive mode on any frequency.
To change the receive mode press [FUNC] [3].
The third line of the LCD will indicate the current
mode in use. A hash symbol “#” to the left of the
mode indicates the current setting. The right arrow
symbol “>” indicates the new mode choice which is
altered by using the [DIAL] control on the top panel
of the cabinet. To return the STEP and MODE to
default, select “>AUT” and press [ENT]. The display
returns to VFO mode.
The modes are allocated in order: “AUT NFM AM USB LSB CW AUT WFM”,
“AUT” refers to AUTO MODE. When “AUT” is selected, the receive mode and
step size will be selected automatically using the preprogrammed AR8000
bandplan data.
Note: AUTO-STEP and AUTO-MODE are linked to the preprogrammed
bandplan data. When one of the parameters is changed from the default
“AUTO” then the bandplan will be ignored. This is useful for tuning through
bands in unusual modes and channel steps.
To reinstate AUTO step size, the receive MODE must be returned to
“AUTO” using the “MODE SET” menu which is accessed by pressing
[FUNC] [3].
Any receive mode may be selected at any frequency within the receiver’s
frequency coverage. Generally speaking the following modes will apply:
