9 Setup, Timer and Config menu options

The SETUP menu allows access to the three receiver
setup memories: A, B and C. The CONFIG menu allows
various manual / automatic options to be set and the
auxiliary output levels adjusted. It is also the route to the
filter calibration routine. Both of these menus differ from
all of the other receiver menus in that item selection is
made by rotating the spin-wheel. Both menus have eight
items so it doesn't take too long to find the one that you
want. Once the required item is chosen a soft-key is used
to action or change the selected item.

The three SETUP MEMORIES can save your favourite
receiver set-ups, one for casual listening, one for serious
DXing, one for data communication or whatever you
choose. Each mode can have your own choice of filter
bandwidth, pass band offset, BFO setting and AGC speed,
along with global settings of the tone controls, auto
/ manual synchronous AM, auto / manual RF attenuator
and line output levels. Using the setups can avoid having
to recall many different menus, and provides a useful short
cut to changing listening modes.

If you suspect that some settings are wrong, or want to
return the receiver to a known condition the LOAD
DEFAULT facility is available. This will ensure that sensible
filters are selected for each mode of reception, no PBS
offset, no BFO offset for CW and DATA modes, maximum
IF gain with AGC on, auto synchronous AM, auto RF
attenuation, flat tone control settings, standard line output
levels etc. The SETUP MEMORIES are not affected by
the LOAD DEFAULT operation, only the current receiver
settings are changed.

9-2 Timer settings

The AR7030 is equipped with a 24-hr clock and timer.
The clock is permanently displayed on the LCD while the
set is connected to external power and switched off. When
the receiver is on, the clock display can be turned on by
pressing the button.
When the set is off, the clock is displayed and the LCD
illumination is dimmed (not switched off completely) to
make the AR7030 useful as a bedside radio... admittedly
it makes an expensive clock radio alarm. If no power is
applied the clock will not be displayed, but it is kept running
by a small, internal, rechargeable battery.
Timer operation allows the AR7030 to be programmed to
switch on at a predetermined time and stay on for a period
of time before switching off again. Also a sleep timer allows
the receiver to switch off automatically after a set period
(up to 4 hours - for insomniacs).
The TIMER menu is accessed from the SETUP menu. If

The run time (in minutes) displayed at the top left is used
for both the timer operation time and the sleep timer. In
fact when timer operation starts the sleep mode is invoked
