Outline Of Expert Facilities; Scanning Considerations - AOR AR8000 Operating Manual

Another special form of scanning is "PRIORITY" where a special channel
(default to "A00") is scanned for activity every five seconds.
"SELECT SCAN" enables you to make a single short list of interesting
memory channels from all memory banks to be scanned as a separate
function. This reduces the need to PASS, LINK and UNLINK banks and
channels.
"AUTO-STORE" reserves memory bank "J" so that active frequencies found
while conducting a SEARCH (see sections 13 & 15 of this manual) may be
automatically written to memory. This is a useful tool for compiling an activity
list of rarely used frequencies especially when unattended.
10-2 SCAN - outline introduction to additional facilities available in
EXPERT status
It is possible to alter the sequence of scanning events when in EXPERT
status depending upon the SCAN CONFIGURATION as defined in the
"SET M-SCAN" sub menu. There are 5 scanning parameters which may be
changed to suit your preferences and requirements DELAY, AUDIO, FREE,
LEVEL & MODE (see section 10-12 of this manual). It is possible to mix
combinations of all five parameters.
10-3 Starting to SCAN, considerations...
It is presumed that you have already stored your favourite and commonly used
frequencies into the memory banks (as per section 7 of this manual).
A total of 1000 memory channels are provided which are divided into 20 banks,
each having 50 channels. The memory banks are identified by letters A, B, C,
D, E, F, G, H, I, J (upper case letters) and a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j (lower case
letters) and numbered from 00 to 49.
Remember: It is possible to set a PASSWORD to prevent unauthorised access
to banks with lower case letters (a, b, c, d etc). If the password has been set,
you must first key in your password before an attempt is made to access the
protected memory, scan and search banks (refer to section 9 of this manual).
When in SCAN MODE, the memory banks are referred to as "SCAN BANK A",
"SCAN BANK B", "SCAN BANK f" etc rather than using the full title "SCAN
MEMORY BANK A", "SCAN MEMORY BANK B" etc. This terminology has
been employed to make the explanation of and referral to SCAN MEMORY
BANKS (SCAN BANKS) less long-winded.
When shipped from the factory in default NEWUSER mode, memory bank "J"
is reserved for auto-store of memory channels from search mode so may
already have frequencies stored (refer to section 15 of this manual).
