Select Scan "New" Channels Using The Menu - AOR AR8000 Operating Manual

11-4 SELECT new "SELECT SCAN" channels using the menu
To access the "SELECT SCAN" EDIT menu place the receiver into VFO mode
then press [FUNC] [PASS].
The "SELECT SCAN" menu displays the legend "SELECT SCAN" to confirm
operation. The left side of the second line of the LCD displays "CH-00" with
the highlight cursor flashing on the first "0". The "CH-00" refers to the 100
SELECT CHANNELS of the special list which are numbered 00 - 99
(examples are CH-00, CH-01, CH-03 etc).
To review the contents of the SELECT SCAN LIST rotate the [DIAL] or use the
UP/DOWN keys. Only SELECT SCAN LIST channels with data will be
displayed plus the first vacant channel.
To add new channels, select the first vacant SELECT SCAN LIST POSITION
by rotating the [DIAL] or using the UP/DOWN keys. A "vacant" position will
have no data to the right of the LCD and the blank indicator "- - -" displayed.
Press [ENT] to enter EDIT mode. The highlight cursor will move to the right
hand data field of the second line of the LCD. The cursor will be placed above
the memory bank "identifying letter" "A" and channel "00" is always chosen as
the starting point unless there is data already stored.
You may change the bank identifier via the keypad (for example for bank "C"
press [3C]). A two digit memory channel may then be entered via the keypad
(for example channel "33" press [3] [3]). If a mistake is made, the UP/DOWN
keys may be used to alter the position of the cursor within the data field.
Alternatively the [DIAL] may be rotated to select the desired memory channel
for inclusion in the SELECT SCAN LIST.
The third and fourth line of the LCD display frequency and accompanying text
to aid identification of channel data.
When you are happy with the channel selection press [ENT] to accept the
entry and add the memory channel to the SELECT SCAN LIST. The "CH-xx"
channel list indicator on the left of the second line of the LCD increments to the
next numeric channel.
It is possible to over-write SELECT SCAN LIST channels which are already in
use with new memory channel data, the previous data will be deleted
automatically.
Note: By using this method it is possible to enter the same memory
channel data many times at regular intervals into the SELECT SCAN
LIST. This will ensure the channel is scanned more frequently to
increase the chances of activity being detected. If you wish to "un-tag"
the memory channel in memory recall mode, you will have to use the
[FUNC] [PASS] sequence several times to remove the "layers"
of tags.
