Other Possible Apparent Operating Problems - AOR AR8000 Operating Manual

Both "A" & "B" VFO frequencies will reset to 80.000 MHz and mode/step will
be set to AUTO.
Search/scan bank linkage and select scan data will be lost but the memory
contents will be retained. The pass channels will be off, pass frequencies will
be deleted and password will be cancelled.
DO NOT USE THIS KEY SEQUENCE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
Search / scan data will need to be manually keyed into the receiver unless the
SYS-DATA has been previously cloned (copied) to another AR8000 so may be
cloned back.
If this does not appear to solve the problem disconnect all connections and
peripherals such as tape recorders, computers, aerials. Switch the receiver off
and remove one battery then leave the receiver for one minute.
Refit the battery and switch On and test again.
20-2 Other possible apparent operational problems
Missing activity which another receiver may monitor
Ensue that the receiver is not automatically switching Off / On due to the
settings of the "POWER SAVE" facility. Refer to section 16 of this manual.
Signals are weak
Make sure that the correct or appropriate aerial is fitted. If monitoring medium
wave transmissions such as 1215 kHz (1.125 MHz) rotate the receiver as the
internal ferrite bar aerial is directional.
Check that the attenuator is not switched On (the letter "A" is displayed on the
top line of the LCD when On).
Ensure the correct receive mode is being used (AM for airband, NFM for point
to point communications - not WFM etc).
Frequency jumps a few kHz
If you have altered the tuning step size for VFO or SEARCH mode, remember
that the receiver frequency must be divisible by the step size. If it is not, the
AR8000 will correct the displayed frequency to the nearest kHz which is
divisible.
Frequencies and memory channels are skipped
Ensure that the frequencies are not in the PASS list and memory channels not
locked out by reviewing memory contents in memory recall.
The receiver stops on blank carriers
The receiver may stop on blank carriers. It may be that these are true
