AOR AR5000 Operating Manual page 2

It is assumed in this addendum that you understand how to program basic functions.
1. Program three program search banks with the limits 132.000 - 134.500 MHz in AUTO mode (AM 25kHz steps).
Link all three search banks to form a single group... so all three are searched together. The operating manual does not
specifically deal with step-adjust during program search, so ignore it at this time. Let's assume you have used banks
1, 2 & 3.
2. Bank 1 is left 'as is'.
3. Start searching bank 2. Press then press to engage step-adjust (the "*" legend will be displayed).
Press to access the sub-menu to allow the step-adjust value to be entered. Key in
Now press and hold the key for more than one second for the data to be accepted (do not simply press ENT
momentarily).
As there is no step-adjust entry point during the data input of program search, this LONG HOLD of the key
must be used to enter step-adjust while searching in the above fashion.
The AR5000 will continue to search but will add 8.33 kHz to every 25 kHz increment.
4. Repeat the process outlined in (3) for the third search bank, in this example (bank 3) but use a step adjust value of
16.66 kHz.
The AR5000 will continue to search but will add 16.66 kHz to every 25 kHz increment.
Outcome:
By searching all three search banks as a group, the exact frequencies will be searched for the new airband allocation
without a compound error creeping in. As the AR5000 has 20 search banks (twice), using three banks in this way is no
great loss.
SWITCHED EPROM BANKS - more memories!!!
From serial number approx 70660 upward (of the standard AR5000 and AR5000+3) the facility of switching EPROM
banks is now supported (see the main operating manual section 18-6, page 71, last two items). This virtually means
that the AR5000 now has 2000 memory channels, 40 search banks, 10 VFOs etc... two sets in one!
