Aor ar 1000 user manual

Scanning: Performance rolls off below 30 Mhz and above Mhz. As a shortwave receiver I don't put much stock in the AOR. It didn't do well. I was able to copy a few stations but they faded in and out. OK, so I didn't hook it up to an active antenna or a longwire.

I only used the whip and a shortwire. But I barely picked up anything under 30 Mhz even under good conditions. Some birdies and false detections around here to Mhz , but all-in-all just as good as the Bearcat. Aircraft bands Mhz : here I had a problem. Even sitting at the end of the runway I could not pick up traffic as well as the Bearcat. The transmissions were garbled and faint. The AOR apparently has problems with this region. Of course I didn't listen, so I can't say ahem.

I imagine, though, that it would do as well as can be expected cough. Conclusion: It went back to Grove 12 days after receipt. I got tired of fighting it and constantly being reminded of its shortcomings. And I really wanted shortwave, where it showed its worst performance. Perhaps a real shortwave antenna would have helped. As far as the other bands were concerned I used the unit with the supplied whip and with a Radio Shack discone antenna Mhz.

Reception improved, but so did the false reports it locked more noise as a station.

Aor Ar? Thread starter johnwashington Start date Mar 18, Status Not open for further replies. Besides me, does anyone else have this scanner? From what I have read, this model was discontinued in about I had one years ago. Paid huge amount of money at the time for it as well. Was a real pain in the butt to program. No tracking trunked systems as well. Yes, had to manually program all frequencies. But it did pick up cell phones unlike scanners of today. Good scanner for its time.
