Changing A Frequency Using The Up/Down Keys; Changing Frequency Using The [Dial] - AOR AR8000 Operating Manual

Key in [2] to correct the current incorrect display (which is showing 81.8
MHz rather than 82.8 MHz). Alternatively use the [DIAL] to scroll through
the digits just like a tuning dial.
When the correct frequency is displayed press [ENT] to accept the
corrected frequency data.
6-7 Changing frequency using the [UP] [DOWN] keys
The UP / DOWN keys provide a convenient method of frequency change.
The speed at which the receiver steps up or down depends upon the STEP
SIZE which is default to AUTO. Examples of tuning step include: 0.05 kHz (50
Hz), 0.1 kHz (100 Hz), 0.2 kHz (200 Hz), 0.5 kHz (500 Hz), 1.00 kHz, 2.00 kHz,
5.00 kHz, 6.25 kHz, 9.00 kHz, 10.00 kHz, 12.50 kHz, 20 kHz, 25.00 kHz, 30
kHz, 50 kHz, 100.00 kHz, 200.00 kHz, 250 kHz, 500.00 kHz. In EXPERT user
mode the tuning step size may also be programmed in multiples of 50 Hz so
that unusual step sizes other than stated are possible.
Should you press and hold either the [UP] or [DOWN] key for more than
one second, the squelch will be defeated and the receiver made to tune
automatically either upward or downward depending upon the key in use.
Tuning will stop when the key is released.
6-8 Changing frequency using the [DIAL] (tuning control)
While in VFO mode, the active VFO frequency may be "tuned" in a similar way
to a domestic receiver or other specialist receivers using the rotary tuning
[DIAL] which is mounted on the top cabinet.
This method of frequency selection is the most traditional approach to locating
signals particularly on the short wave and medium wave bands. It provides an
easy method to locate new or previously unknown frequencies or to check
activity within certain frequency bands such as amateur or shortwave
broadcast.
The rotary tuning [DIAL] provides the very best "user interface" with the
AR8000 especially for USB, LSB and CW listening.
Rotating the [DIAL] clockwise increases frequency while rotation anticlockwise
decreases receive frequency.
The speed at which the [DIAL] tunes the receiver depends upon the STEP
SIZE which is default to AUTO. Examples of tuning step include: 0.05 kHz (50
Hz), 0.1 kHz (100 Hz), 0.2 kHz (200 Hz), 0.5 kHz (500 Hz), 1.00 kHz, 2.00 kHz,
5.00 kHz, 6.25 kHz, 9.00 kHz, 10.00 kHz, 12.50 kHz, 20 kHz, 25.00 kHz, 30
kHz, 50 kHz, 100.00 kHz, 200.00 kHz, 250 kHz, 500.00 kHz. In EXPERT user
mode the tuning step size may also be programmed in multiples of 50 Hz so
that unusual step sizes other than stated are possible.
