Entering Sequential Frequencies - AOR AR1000 Manual

AR1000 Operations
If you don't do this, even though it looks like you have entered the frequency
into the channel, the next time you look at this channel, it will contain the
frequency that was previously in it. While this may seem cumbersome, in actual
practice this is a quite easy operation.

Entering sequential frequencies

If you are going to enter frequencies into a series of sequential channels, after
entering the first channel, simply press MANUAL to step to the next channel
and start again by entering in the new frequency.
In this case the repeating sequence will be:
To enter
• Enter frequency
sequential • Press ENT
• Toggle a mode key
frequencies
• Press MANUAL
Discussion
We recommend using our method for the following reasons:
♦ It is more consistent to start out indicating the channel you want to deal with
rather than the frequency.
Using the factory method, you start entering a new frequency over an existing
frequency in a channel different than the one you want to finally use. This is very
confusing. Further, if you make a mistake, you may end up reprogramming the
channel you are on rather than the channel you desire.
In addition, using our method, you'll find that it will add consistency to many
AR1000 operations. You will almost always first specify the channel you are
interested in and second , act on it (i.e. change the frequency). By first going to the
channel, you can see what is in it before you overwrite it. Using the factory
method, when you press PROG, BANK, and the channel number, the frequency
that is currently in the display overwrites whatever is in the channel number
without letting you see it first.
♦ It is easier and more intuitive when entering frequencies in sequential
channels.
Once you set yourself up at the first of the sequential channels, you just follow
these steps: frequency, ENT, mode key (twice if needed), MANUAL. It becomes
very quick and intuitive to program a group of sequential channels.
