QM9 RF0087320000
Note: This command is read only
QP Power Off QP<CR>
Switches the AR8600 to standby
mode.
QS Delete search bank QSx<CR>
Delete search bank x=A-T or a-t
RF Set frequency RFnnnnnnnnm0<CR>
Tune to the specified frequency
(expressed in Hz)
RFnnnn.nnnnm<CR>
Tune to the specified frequency
(expressed in MHz)
m must either be ‘5’ (for 50Hz) or ‘0’.
Any other digit is ignored.
Note: Frequencies below 3.0MHz
are specified in kHz
RX Respond with current data RX<CR>
Recalls current operating parameters
in the following formats
VFO mode

Note: Refer to individual commands for details of
each field.
SA Search Audio To set: SAnnn<CR>
nnn = 0 (audio search off), nnn =
001-255 (level value)
To read: SA<CR>
Responds with SA nnn or SA+nnn
(current voice level >= nnn)
Note: Applies to search group
specified by GS
Note: Search will resume when
signal strength drops below pre-set
level and delay time set by SD has
elapsed.
SB Search level squelch To set: SBnnn<CR>
nnn = 0 (level search off),
nnn = 001-255 (audio search value)
To read: SB<CR>
Responds with SB nnn or SB+nnn
(current level >= nnn)
Section 17-3
SC Change voice invert
or frequency Note: Requires VI8200
To Set: SCnnn<CR>
Where nnn (000-156) defines the
voice inversion frequency from the
following conversion table:
