AOR AR8000 Operating Manual page 89

HOLD - To resume search when HOLD has been set, press either the [UP]
or [DOWN] keys. "FREE search" will be ignored if SEARCH DELAY TIME
has been set to "HOLD".
To accept the changes to DELAY search, you must first use the UP/DOWN
key to change the cursor position to another line then press [ENT] to return
to SEARCH mode as the [ENT] key has a special function in DELAY
programming as mentioned above.
Alternatively you may move to the next option (AUDIO SEARCH) by pressing
the [DOWN] key.
SEARCH - AUDIO search
The AUDIO search parameter affects the way in which an "active" frequency is
determined. When the AUDIO search is "ON", the search process will only
stop on active channels which have modulation (voice) present. The AR8000
will then not remain on unmodulated frequencies (such as blank carriers).
The options are ON or OFF, the default is OFF. Rotate the [DIAL] to toggle
the option On / OFF.
To accept the changes to AUDIO search press [ENT] to return to SEARCH
mode.
Alternatively you may move to the next option (FREE SEARCH) by pressing
the [DOWN] key.
SEARCH - FREE search
The FREE search parameter determines how long the receiver will remain on
an "active" frequency before resuming search.
This is useful if you wish to gain a picture of what is happening on a particular
program search bank without the receiver being tied to a frequency for long
periods of time (such as when monitoring active amateur band repeaters etc).
Free search saves you having to manually intervene to force the search
process to continue or use PASS (lockout) frequencies.
The limits are 01 to 99 seconds with zero being interpreted as FREE search
OFF.
Either use the [DIAL] to change the value or key in a two digit number through
the numeric keypad. [0] is accepted as 00 seconds (OFF) and [4] [1] as 41
seconds.
Note: FREE search will be ignored if SEARCH DELAY TIME has been set
to "HOLD".
