Manual Search - AOR AR8000 Operating Manual

Searching using the mode of WFM may not be possible in certain frequency
bands due to the level of background noise and adjacent channel activity.
13-1 Manual SEARCH between the twin VFO frequencies
The simplest form of SEARCH is achieved by programming different
frequencies into VFO "A" and VFO "B" while in 2VFO mode.
Starting manual search
To start MANUAL SEARCH press and hold [2VFO]
for more than 1 second. The mode and step size
will always be taken from the "active" (top display
frequency) VFO rather than the stand-by (lower
display frequency).
Changing the direction of manual search
Depending upon whether the active VFO frequency is numerically higher or
lower then the stand-by VFO, the search will continue upward or downward.
The direction of search may be reversed by rotating the [DIAL] or using the
UP/DOWN keys.
Example of manual search
For example, to search manually between 145.000 and 146.000 MHz key
145.000 into VFO "A" and 146.000 MHz into VFO "B".
Ensure that VFO "A" is on the active upper line by pressing [2VFO].
Press and hold [2VFO] for more than 1 second. The search process will
start in an upward direction. The legend "MANU SRCH" appears on the third
line of the LCD to confirm manual search is in progress.
Moving on from active frequencies
Should the receiver stop on an active frequency during manual search, you
may force the search to continue by pressing the UP/DOWN keys or rotating
the [DIAL].
To cancel manual search
To cancel manual search press [2VFO] and the operating mode will return to
2VFO with the VFO frequencies of 145.000 and 146.000 MHz displayed.
Transfer of an active frequency to VFO
Should the search process stop on an active frequency, you may stop the
search process by pressing [ENT]. The receiver will monitor the active
frequency in VFO mode and may be tuned using the [DIAL] or UP/DOWN
keys.
