are re-loaded to the set correctly but the overall 'bank' text comment is not re-loaded (this
appears to be the case regardless of if the set is in scan, search or VFO).
However if the set is being used on a different memory bank to that being re-loaded from the slot
card, the overall bank text comment is then correct for the re-loaded bank, BUT, the bank that
the set was being used on then gets labelled with whatever text comment was previously in the
bank being overwritten.
This only happens in the AR8600 (mk1 & 2). It isn't a problem in the AR8200mk3.
RU8200 operating manual inconsistencies
Inconsistencies have been reported to us regarding the operation of the RU8200 record /
playback option with the AR8600 (particularly in continuous loop mode), neither the AR8600
operating manual or RU8200 product leaflet are 100% accurate. The revised section of the
operating manual is presented here, the main areas of charge are highlighted in red colour:
18-2 Slot card OPTION menu - registering a slot card
Once the slot cards have been fitted, they must be registered for use via the slot card menu.
This is because only one slot card from GROUP 1 and one slot card from GROUP 2 can be used
simultaneously, registering the slot cards is a way of managing their use.
The optional slot cards must be
REGISTERED via the SLOT CARD OPTION MENU
before they can be manipulated via their own control menus. To access the slot card registration
menu option menu PUSH [FUNC ] PRESS [CLEAR]
The menu is presented in two sections (pages), the first covers the slot cards in GROUP 1
(TE8200, CT8200, VI8200) and the second page covers the slot cards in GROUP 2 (EM8200,
RU8200).
The UP / DOWN arrow keys are used to move between lines representing the slot card fitted, if
you do not have the listed card fitted, you will not be able to move to the displayed line, it will be
skipped.
For example, if you have the TE8200 and VI8200 slot cards fitted, pressing the DOWN key will
skip over the CT8200 selection line, the second page containing the EM8200 and RU8200
entries will also be inaccessible. The UP key may be used to move backward through the menu
items. Ignore the “
AUT
” legend if displayed on the LCD.
When the cursor is flashing on the desired line for the required option, use LEFT / RIGHT arrow
or [PASS] key or
MAIN DIAL
to REGISTER or DE-REGISTER the option as a toggle. When
registered, the legend ‘
STAR
’ will be displayed on the LCD next to the slot card description.
