all of the manual before deciding to contact your dealer for advice. It is acknowledged that sections of this manual are repetitive, this is to enable the manual to be used as a reference book (you don’t have to read it all from cover to cover in one go). Due to the international nature of the product, some graphics contain Japanese characters. Every effort has been made to make this manual correct and up to date. Due to continuous development of the receiver.
1-2 Take care of your radio There are no internal operator adjustments. In the unlikely event of servicing being required, please contact your dealer for technical assistance. Do not use or leave the receiver in direct sunlight (especially the LCD). It is best to avoid locations where excessive heat, humidity, dust and vibration are expected. Always keep the AR-ONE free from dust and moisture.
unipole, Yagi, etc. When sighting the antenna, avoid power cables. Ensure that you do not confuse the antenna and other IF output connectors as they are closely located. Operating anomalies Should the AR-ONE appear to behave strangely, normal operation may be easily achieved by resetting the microprocessor. Two scenarios may be encountered due to power transients etc: 1. Symptom: Action: LCD remains on, no control of the keypad.
If you have not used a wide band receiver before or not familiar with the terminology used, it is very important to understand the difference between SEARCH and SCAN modes.

1-5-1 Keypad Keypad conventions Most keys have secondary functions , their functions are printed on the panel. However, due the restriction of available size, not all functions can be shown on the keypad printing. For the secondary functions of the AR-ONE, they are indicated with white characters above each key. To access the secondary function, push the FUNC key, and then push the respective key. 1-5-2 Summary of keys ESC Push this key to cancel entry from the keypad.
VFO Push this key to select VFO mode. There are 10 VFOs (VFO-A through VFO-J) with the AR-ONE. STEP Push the [FUNC] key, and then push to select the desired frequency step. MODE Push this key to select the desired receive mode. WIDTH Push the [FUNC] key, and then push this key to select the desired IF band width selection menu.

PRIO Push the [FUNC] key, and then push this key to initiate PRIORITY CHANNEL RECEIVE. RF AMP Push the [FUNC] key, and then push this key to activate/deactivate the RF amplifier function (ON/OFF/AUTO). S PROG Push the [FUNC] key, and then push this key to set the search bank.
ENT Push this key to accept data entry. M. in In the manual receive mode or search mode, push the [FUNC] key, and then push this key to enter the frequency into memory. 1-6 Computer control Connect the AR-ONE to the serial port of a computer using an RS-232C serial cable terminated in a 9-pin male connector. The RS-232C parameters may be defined using the CONFIG menu. Baud rates (transfer speed) set to either 4800 or 9600 bps.
2-1-2 Connect the antenna For reception on the all bands, connect the antenna to the N connector on the rear panel of the AR-ONE. An optional SA7000 Super Wideband Receiver is provided for this purpose. A receive frequency range of the SA7000 is 30 KHz ~ 2000 MHz. 2-1-3 Connect power Connect the power to the DC power jack on the rear panel of the AR-ONE. Use either a supplied AC power adapter. Or a regulated DC power supply (12 ~ 14 V with capacity 2A) may be used. Do not connect to a 24 V system.
LCD. It is normal, for the microprocessor of the AR-ONE generates the ‘boot up data’ required to control the receiver. 2-3 Squelch Circuit In normal use, NOISE SQUELCH is used. However, LEVEL SQUELCH can be selected for search and scan operations. The LEVEL SQUELCH parameter causes the AR-ONE to check the signal strength of active frequencies and to only stop when the signal strength is above a preset level (which is programmable). To select LEVEL SQUELCH, perform the following steps: 1.
step are automatically selected. 2-4-1 Tuning frequency 2-4-1-1 Entering a frequency using the numeric keypad While in VFO mode, enter the required frequency using MHz format followed by the ENT key. Example of frequency entry of 80.8 MHz Push the [8] key. Push the [0] key. Push the [.] key. Push the [8] key. Push the [ENT] key. Example of frequency entry of 954 KHz (0.954 MHz) Push the [.] key. Push the [9] key. Push the [5] key. Push the [4] key. Push the [ENT] key.
The speed at which the receiver steps up or down depends upon the STEP SIZE which is default to AUTO. In AUTO the step size, receiver mode etc. is taken from the factory pre-programmed band plan but may be overridden at any time. Push the UP arrow key to tune the receiver upward in whichever step size is selected, use the DOWN arrow key to tune the receiver downward in frequency. 2-5 Changing receive mode Due to the necessities of signal bandwidth, channel occupancy and transmission efficiency.
In the absence of signal, the background white noise may appear quite loud. For ease of listening, the squelch control should be rotated clockwise until he background noise just disappears, this should be carried out while no signal is present. The point where the background noise is cancelled is known as threshold point. Do not advance the squelch control more than necessary or the receiver will appear to be desensitized and weaker signals will be missed.
When auto-mode is in operation, receive mode and tuning step size are automatically selected for you by the AR-ONE microprocessor. To activate auto-mode or reconfirm its selection while in VFO mode, Push and hold the MODE key for more than 2 seconds. The AUT icon appears on the top right portion of the LCD. Note: Auto-mode is cancelled as soon as the receive mode, tuning step or other related data is changed.
For above reasons it is necessary to alter the STEP size according to local bandplan conventions. The AR-ONE has been pre-programmed at the factory with all the bandplan data (specific to each market area) so that the AR-ONE will automatically select the appropriate step size and mode for the frequency chosen. This greatly simplifies operation of the receiver while you are familiarizing yourself with all functions.
air. However, it is not simply a case of using the narrowest filter at all times, particular modes require differing amounts of bandwidth in order to operate otherwise the receive system simply will not produce intelligible sound. Correct receive mode and IF bandwidth must always be selected for optimum reception. If the bandwidth selection is too narrow, distortion or signal break-up may occur. If the bandwidth selection is too wide, adjacent interference may be encountered.
2-8 AGC (Automatic Gain Control) To change the AGC parameter setting, push the FUNC key and then push the ATT key. Selecting a new AGC parameter from the list of MANU, FAST, MID, SLOW by rotating the main tuning dial or arrow key. To accept the new AGC parameter, push the ENT key. When MANU is selected, a desired parameter can be entered between 0 ~ 255 in the Configuration Menu.
Activating attenuator reduces signal to the RF input stages of the AR-ONE to prevent overloading due to connection to an external antenna or when the receiver is used in close proximity to strong transmissions. The AR-ONE has four settings for ATT (attenuator), 0 dB, 10dB, 20 dB, and AUTO. To change the ATT parameter setting, push the ATT key. Selecting a new ATT parameter from the list by rotating the main tuning dial or arrow key. To accept the new ATT parameter, push the ENT key.
To change the RF Amplifier setting, push the FUNC key and then push the 5 key. Selecting a new AMP parameter from the list of ON, OFF, AUTO by rotating the main tuning dial or arrow key. To accept the new AMP parameter, push the ENT key. 2-11 OFFSET This function enables receive frequency to be quickly SHIFTED by a predetermined values, this makes it easy to track duplex-transmissions or check repeater inputs/outputs.
use, it may appear rather long winged to toggle on/off in VFO mode. However even when programmed, frequency offset is in no way detrimental to normal operation. The acceptable range of frequency offset is 0 MHz to 999.999 MHz, of course if the offset is set to 0 MHz, the frequency will not change! Before the FREQUENCY OFFSET function can be used, it first needs to be configured (unless factory programmed for certain bands).
4. To accept the offset setting, push the ENT key. 3 Memory channels & banks It is convenient to store commonly used frequencies into a memory channel along with mode etc, this saves having to key the data in over and over again. Memory read is very straightforward and quick when compared to retyping all data. 3-1 Memory channel overview Think of memory channels as pages in a notebook each of which is numbered to identify it.
Examples are “000” for the first channel location in memory bank “0” and “099” for the last memory channel in memory bank “0”. “415” is the location: memory bank “4” channel “15”. The data contents of memory and search banks are held in a EEPROM so that no backup battery is required for memory retention. The stored data may be quickly and easily recalled, changed or deleted using the memory recall and delete functions.
“3” location “25” (325) while in VFO mode with the text comment of “AIRBAND”. If a mistake is made during programming, push the ESC key to abort entry and return to VFO mode. 1) Start by selecting VFO mode then key in the frequency of 123.500 MHz, “mode and step size” are set to the default auto mode. Push the VFO key to set the AR-ONE into VFO mode. Push the 1 key. Push the 2 key. Push the 3 key. Push the . (decimal) key. Push the 5 key. Push the ENT key.
3-3 Memory read “M.RD” Once frequency and mode data has been stored into a memory location, its retrieval is quick and simple. Let’s assume that you are going to retrieve the frequency of 123.500 MHz which has been programmed into memory “325” during an earlier example in the preceding section of this manual. Push the FUNC key and the push the SCAN key to go into memory read mode, the “M.RD” icon appears on the top left of the LCD to confirm operation.
To recall memory channel “325”, push either the right arrow key or left arrow key to select “3” as the memory bank. Rotate the main tuning dial or pushing either the up arrow key or down arrow key to select “25”. 3-4 Deleting memory channels It is possible to over-write a memory channel with new data or delete the channel entirely. Push the FUNC key, and then push the 3 key to “MEM DELETE” menu. Push either the right arrow key or left arrow key to select the desired memory bank.
SEARCH mode (covered later in this manual) automatically TUNES THE RECEIVER THROUGH ALL FREQUENCIES between two specified frequency limits looking for active frequencies. 4-1 SCAN – outline introduction During SCAN, the AR-ONE automatically recalls memory channel which contains data in numeric order and monitors it looking for activity. When an ‘active’ memory channel is located (when a signal is found and the squelch is open), the AR-ONE will temporarily stop scanning.
To exit from SCAN mode, push the VFO key. 4-4 Select scan Select scan enables you to ‘tag’ memory channels to make a temporary list up to 50 channels in the same memory bank for scanning in a separate list called the SELECT SCAN LIST. 4-4-1 Adding select scan channels in memory read In memory read mode, push the FUNC key, and then push the 1 key to toggle the select scan tag on/off, the icon “SEL” confirms selection.
To stop select scan, push the VFO key. 5 Search mode In search mode, the AR-ONE is programmed to automatically tune between two specified frequency limits looking for activity. Please refer to section 1-3 of this manual if you do not fully understand the function of SEARCH. 5-1 Search type The AR-ONE is equipped with PROGRAM SEARCH.
z z z z LO (lower) start frequency HI (upper) stop frequency Receive mode (or set to AUTO MODE) Text comment The program search banks are identified by numbers (01 ~ 40). To help with identification, each bank may be labeled with an alphanumeric text comment. 5-2 Staring program search Presuming that data is already stored into a search bank … Push the SRCH key to start the program search process.
5-2-1 Reversing the direction of search To reverse the direction of search, use the main tuning dial or the up arrow key or the down arrow key. This is useful to enable you to search back over an interesting point of the search process. 5-2-2 Forcing the search to resume If the AR-ONE stops on an unwanted busy frequency, rotate the main tuning dial knob or use the up arrow key or down arrow key to force the search process to resume from the current frequency displayed.
5-4 Programming a search bank Each of the 40 search banks may be programmed with different frequency limits, receive modes, etc. as listed in section 8-1-1 of this manual. Push the FUNC key, and then push the 6 key to access the “SRCH PROG” menu. Use the main tuning dial, or the right arrow key or the left arrow key or keypad to select the bank you wish to program or overwrite. (The down arrow key is used to move through the menu.

Push the down arrow key. HI Input the higher end (stop) frequency in MHz format (don’t push the ENT key). Push the down arrow key.
MODE SET Use the right arrow key or left arrow key or main tuning dial to select receive mode, the SET key is used as a short cut to “AUTO”. Note: If the receive mode is set to “AUTO”, the receive mode, channel step will be taken from the pre-programmed auto band plan data, for this reason the detailing will not be required while programming so is kipped…. The next menu will be TEXT INPUT. Push the down arrow key.
STEP Assuming that a receive mode other than “AUTO” was selected, you will be presented with the “STEP SET” menu. Use the main tuning dial or the right arrow key or left arrow key to select the required tuning step from the following: 0.001 (1Hz), 5.25KHz, 0.010 (10Hz), 9.000 KHz, 0.500 (500Hz), 10.000 KHz, 1.000 KHz, 12.5 KHz, 2.000 KHz, 5.000 KHz, 25.000 KHz, 50.000 KHz, 100.
To accept the data input, push the ENT key. 5-5 Deleting search banks A delete menu is provided so that you can delete program search data (of course you may simply overwrite the data, too) . While in search mode, the DELETE menu is accessed using the key sequence. Push the FUNC key and then push the 3 key. Push the down arrow key.
Using the main tuning dial, keypad, right arrow key or left arrow key, select the desired search bank. The “HI” and “LO” frequency limits will appear on the LCD along with any associated text comment to aid the identification of the required search bank. To delete the program search bank, push the ENT key.
It is possible to lock out (PASS) unwanted frequencies while is program search mode. This is useful to eliminate unwanted permanent transmissions. It is important to understand the PASS function before taking action or transmissions may be missed. While stopped on unwanted frequency, push the FUNC and then push the 9 key. The search process will resume.
If pass channels have already been tagged for the current search bank, the icon “PAS” (PASS) will be displayed on the LCD. Push the FUNC key to delete the pass frequency. To exit from this menu, push the ENT key.

The available range is as follows: THRU, 25uS, 50uS, 75uS, and 750uS The audio de-emphasis can be set to automode to select the proper setting automatically. The default is AUTO. To access the configuration menu, push the FUNC key and then push the 7 key.
keeping an eye on a distress frequency while scanning or searching another frequency band. Note: Depending upon the frequency and mode stored as priority, an audible click may be heard when the priority function is in operation. This is quite normal and is caused by the internal switching of circuitry necessary to accomplish the frequency change (as two frequencies cannot simultaneously be monitored).
Or, push the down arrow key to move to the next item on the configuration menu (IF output). 6-16 Configure IF output frequency The function enables you to tap the 2nd IF signal (10.7MHz) or the 3rd IF signal (455KHz) from the BNC (marked as 10.7MHz) type connector on the rear panel. The 10.7MHz of the 2nd IF signal is to be used with an optional SDU5500 or SDU5600 spectrum display unit for signal analysis. The bandwidth at 10.7 MHz is +/- 5 MHz from the center frequency (10 MHz total).
The function enables you to select the reference signal of the receiver. The AR-ONE has built-in a stable reference oscillator, however, an external high stability 10 MHz reference (such as off-air atomic coupled) can be accepted from the SMA connector (marked as 10 MHz IN) on the rear panel of the AR-ONE. Push the down arrow key to move the cursor to “REF SEL” selection point.
PARITY: NONE XFLOW: ONE A multiple command entry is only valid where specified. Where a multiple command entry is allowed, each command MUST be separated with a space “h20” (HEX DECIMAL). Each command is completed and a [CR] or [CR][LF]. Although there is no local echo, either [CR] or specified response should come back from the receiver after confirming the correct command. If no response has been gained after a short while, the receiver has failed to receive the command properly.
