Rs232 Operation; Clone Of Data Via The Option Socket - AOR The Superior AR820 0 Series Operating Manual

Section 17-1, 17-2

17-1 RS232 operation

Connect the optional CC8200 computer control lead to the option
socket and connect to a computer. The command protocol is
provided with the CC8200 on floppy disk as an Adobe Acrobat
PDF file.
The RS232 parameters may be defined using the CONFIG menu.
Baud rates (transfer speed) may be set to 4800, 9600 or
19200bps. It is also possible to set an 'address' to facilitate
connection of up to 99 AR8200 to a single port for custom
operation, the addresses may be set between the limits of
01 to 99 with 00 representing single radio operation.
When operating from external RS232, the legend
section 14-6 of this manual for information on the CONFIG menu settings.

17-2 CLONE of data via the option socket

It is possible to copy data (clone) between two AR8200 receives using the optional CO8200 clone lead,
no computer is required.
Note: As clone of data takes a while, it is suggested that the receivers are connected to
external power or at least that the NiCads are FULLY charged while cloning data. Do not
prematurely terminate the clone of data in any way or data corruption may occur... do not
switch either AR8200 off, disconnect the CO8200 or disconnect power. Data can be copied in
either direction but the EM8200 is not supported, only INTERNAL data can be copied between
radios.
Connect each radio to the CO8200 lead and switch them on. The following table indicates the facilities
available:
ALL DATA
SEARCH BANK
ALL SEARCH
MEM BANK
ALL MEM
118
All data is transferred from one radio to the other
(approx. 8 minutes 30 seconds)
A specific search bank is copied to the same or different bank
number of the second radio (approx. 3 seconds)
All search banks are copied from one radio to the other keeping
bank numbers the same (approx. 1 minute 30 seconds)
A specific memory bank is copied to the same or different bank
number of the second radio. Ensure that the memory banks have
the same sizes allocated (dynamic memory bank resizing) or data
may be lost (approx. 30 seconds)
All memory banks are copied from one radio to the other keeping
bank numbers the same. Memory banks are handled as a 'pair'
(A/a, B,b etc). If memory banks are not the same size (dynamic
memory bank resizing), some data will be lost. (approx. 5 minutes)
will be displayed on the LCD. Please refer to
