Page 4: Introduction
This is where ARD300 comes in place! ARD300 is a digital voice decoder to be connected to a radio receiver’s I.F output. This powerful device offers many great features as follows:... -
Page 5: To Read Before Use
For power sharing, when the receiver used is either AR8600MK2, or AR2300/5001D/6000. 2. DC cable (open-end) １ Use this cable to connect ARD300 to your own power supply; in case ARD300 cannot share power with the receiver. １ 3. IF cable １... -
Page 6: Power Supply
However, when used in combination with the AOR AR8600MK2、AR2300、AR5001D、 AR6000 receivers, the supplied DC cable allows ARD300 to share the receiver’s AC adapter. In that case ARD300 is able to detect the receiver’s ON/OFF state and switches itself ON whenever the receiver is ON. -

The D-Star call-sign might sometimes not appear on the LCD screen. The most likely reasons are: -ARD300 did not receive the header at the beginning of each transmission, as the header contains the call-sign data. This is likely to happen during receiver SCAN or SEARCH. -

Each unit needs its own power source; therefore you will need to supply the power source for ARD300. If you happen to own the AR8600MK2 receiver, you can use its AC adapter AA8600. (The AA2300 adapter of AR2300/5001D/6000 can be used as well) Connect ARD300 to your power supply by using the supplied “open-end”... -

Page 17: Connect To Non-Aor Receivers
The quality of the digital voice decoding does depend on the receiver’s sensitivity. AOR support is limited to use with AOR receivers. The supplied IF, DC and audio cables are designed to be used with AOR receivers. If your non-AOR receiver is equipped with sockets of different types, the supplied AOR cables will be incompatible. -

Page 20: Digital Mode Selection Menu
(Digital Private Mobile Radio) While AUTO is the most convenient mode when you don’t know what kind of signals to expect, it is the slowest mode since ARD300 needs some time to analyze the signal and decide which mode to apply. - Page 21 Presetting a particular mode can be interesting to shorten that detection time, providing that you know in advance what kind of digital format will be received. If you manually selected a specific digital format to be decoded, its name will be displayed, as follows (example for Digital CR mode): –...

Page 22: Decoding D-Star
When scanning the listed repeater frequencies, we definitively advise that you manually select “D-STAR” in the mode selection menu of ARD300. When a D-STAR signal is being decoded, ARD300 does display the call-sign name and other user information as follows. The information appears in a looped cycle until the next transmission. - Page 23 Going back to Fr display and looping the same information until the next transmission. Whenever a new transmission is detected, ARD300 will first complete its current display loop cycle, before starting a new display cycle with information of the new transmission.
