Each time the sequence [FUNC] [PASS] is keyed then the SELECT SCAN
status “s” is toggled so that the channel may be “tagged” (chosen / registered)
and “un-tagged” at will.
Note: If memory channels are set as “PASS” (with a lower case “p” being
displayed), the letter will be over-written by the letter “s” for SELECT SCAN.
The status of PASS has not been changed for standard SCAN mode but
SELECT SCAN “tagged” channels ignore the status of PASS.  If the channel is
“un-tagged”, the...

(12)  Priority operation
The PRIORITY feature enables you to carry on scanning, searching or
monitoring while the AR8000 checks a frequency taken from one of the 1000
memory channels (A00 default) every 5 seconds (default) for activity.
The priority checking is accomplished by momentarily moving to the priority
frequency to see if it is “active”.  If activity is found, the receiver remains on the
frequency until the signal disappears.  If no activity is detected, the receiver...

plished by using the “SET PRI CH” menu...

(13)  SEARCH - search banks and frequency pass
The AR8000 has a SEARCH mode whereby an upper and lower frequency
limit may be defined and the receiver instructed to look for activity on all
frequencies in predetermined step size in an upward or downward direction.
The mode and channel step will change automatically when set to the default
of AUTO-MODE but data may be specified specifically if preferred.
* It is important that you do not confuse SEARCH and SCAN modes. *

Searching using the mode of WFM may not be possible in certain frequency
bands due to the level of background noise and adjacent channel activity.

The simplest form of SEARCH is achieved by programming different
frequencies into VFO “A” and VFO “B” while in 2VFO mode.
Starting manual search
To start MANUAL SEARCH press and hold [2VFO]
for more than 1 second.  The mode and step size
will always be taken from the “active” (top...
