Entering New Frequency Offset Data - AOR AR8600 Operating Manual

The third line will display "OFFSET 00" with "00"
indicating that frequency offset is currently off,
there will be no "DUP" legend displayed when the
frequency offset is OFF. The bottom line of LCD
will display "- - - . - - - -" indicating that no offset
is stored. Use the main dial or
review the offset locations, particularly numbers
20 to 47 where useful factory
programmed offsets may be stored.
As soon as you shift from location
00, the "DUP" duplex legend is
displayed on the LCD to indicate that frequency offset is in use.
Presuming that data is already programmed into an offset location,
the
"-" negative offset, this is a global toggle and affects ALL
frequency offset channels (but not those already stored into

be displayed to indicate that frequency offset has been activated.
To use the frequency offset

squelch will be defeated. When you release the
AR8600 will revert to the original frequency (and squelch will close
if no signal is present).
Note: Each VFO, memory channel and search bank can be programmed with a different
frequency offset. If different channels and offsets have been programmed to VFOs etc, the
key sequence
originally used during programming, this is particularly useful when you simply wish to toggle
the + / - offset.
To cancel the frequency offset, access the frequency offset menu and select location "00", the "DUP"
legend will be removed from the LCD.
