Am/Fm; W-Fm; Lockout - AOR AR1000 Manual

AR1000 Reference
5 KHz is the smallest increment value you can use with the AR1000. 995 KHz is
the largest value you can use. The value you choose must be divisible by 5 or
12.5.

AM/FM

This button toggles between the two transmission modes. The AR1000 can pick
up both AM and FM transmissions and this button switches between them. You
can tell which mode you are in by looking at the corresponding indicator in the
display.
This button, as well as the WFM button, acts as an "enter" function when you
change a frequency in a scan channel. You may enter a new frequency into any
scan channel and listen to it, but the frequency will not be made permanent in
that channel until you press either the AM/FM or the WFM mode keys. See page
16 for more details on programming scan channels.

W-FM

The AR1000 can receive two variations of FM transmission—normal (or narrow)
FM (sometimes abbreviated NFM) and wide-mode FM (WFM). Most VHF and
UHF FM transmissions are in NFM, but occasionally, you will find some trans-
missions, like Military satellite transmissions, in WFM. In addition, standard FM
radio broadcasts and TV channel audio transmissions are in WFM. While the
AR1000 can pick up standard FM radio broadcasts quite nicely, it cannot decode
the stereo signal.
Pressing the W-FM button will toggle the reception mode between FM and
WFM. You can tell which mode you are in by looking at the mode indicator in
the display.

LOCKOUT

The LOCKOUT button is used to lock and unlock individual scan channels,
entire scan banks, individual frequencies within search banks, and entire search
banks.
When you are looking at a specific scan channel, either because the scanner
stopped on it when it was active, or because you are looking at it in Manual
mode, pressing LOCKOUT will lock that channel so it will be skipped during a
scan. When you lock a channel, you will see the L.OUT indicator in the display
when ever you view that channel. You press LOCKOUT again to unlock a
locked channel.
Note that the LOCKOUT button is always active. If you are scanning or search-
ing, and press the LOCKOUT button by accident, it will lock the channel or
