Delay; Squelch Tail - AOR AR7000 Manual

2. In the timer selection menu, select the hour/minute the AR7000 is to be switched
off.
3. Select the "Operation" item and choose "POWOFF" followed by [ENT].
4. The AR7000 will remain active until the preset date and time has arrived then will
automatically switch off. There is no need to move the cursor to the "power Off" item,
simply carry on using the AR7000 as usual.
5. Once the timer has switched off the AR7000, press the front panel power switch
twice (once to latch out then again to latch in - off/on). Alternatively, the [POWER]
key of the infrared remote controller may be pressed twice (quickly) when pointed at
the front panel sensor of the AR7000 for the same effect.

6.3.5 Clear the timer
In the timer menu, place the cursor alongside "Clear" followed by [ENT]. Each of the
five timer settings (0 to 4) can be cleared this way, one by one.
It is advisable that the timer setting is cleared when no longer required to
prevent 'apparent' sudden unexpected switch-off of the AR7000!

6.4 Delay

The search/scan resumption time can be varied in the "Configuration" menu. Place
the cursor alongside "Delay" followed by [ENT]. Rotate the main dial or push the
[ keys to select the desired value followed by [ENT]. The valid delay time
range is between 100mS (0.1 seconds) and 9900mS (9.9 seconds) in increments of
100mS (0.1 seconds).
A delay of 2 to 3 seconds (2000mS to 3000mS) allows sufficient time for aircraft and
control towers to 'hand over' transmission without the AR7000 scanning/searching off
before the conversation has completed. A small setting of 0.1 second (100mS) is
ideal for duplex traffic enabling the AR7000 to quickly locate the 'other half' of the
transmission, such as VHF marine.

6.5 Squelch tail

The squelch tail can be varied in the "Configuration" menu. Place the cursor
alongside "SQ Tail" followed by [ENT]. Rotate the main dial or push the [ keys
to select the required value followed by [ENT]. The squelch tail is selectable
between 20mS and 500mS in 10mS increments. Varying the squelch tail can be
useful to prevent the AR7000 assuming that the squelch has closed (so resuming
scan/search) simply because the transmission is 'fluttering', especially when mobiles
