14-1 CONFIG BEEP
The AR8600 emits confirmation ‘beeps’ while the keypad is used.
A ‘HIGH’ pitched beep indicates correct operation while a ‘LOW’
pitched beep indicates that an error or unexpected entry has taken
place. The volume of the beep is independent of the main volume
control and can be separately defined. It is recommended that the
beep facility be enabled, especially in the early days while gaining
familiarity of the receiver.
Beep is setup in the CONFIG menu. To access the config menu .
The first item in the config menu is “BEEP”, the default is beep on with a volume level of 09. Use the
main dial or ï ð keys to vary beep level between the range of OFF and 01 to 09 with 09 being the
loudest. The key may be used as a short cut to 05.
to accept the data and return to a standard display. Alternatively
to abort entry or ò to move to the next item on the config menu (LAMP).
14-2 CONFIG LAMP
The AR8600 is equipped with high intensity green LEDs to illuminate the LCD and keypad when
operating in areas of low level lighting.
While the AR8600 is switched on and connected to an external power source such as a power
supply, the lamp will be default PERMANENTLY ON. The lamp will go out when the AR8600 is
switched off. The lamp may be configured in three ways:
CONT
This setting is default setting when operating from an external power supply. The lamp will
CONTinuously illuminate the LCD and keypad. The lamp will only extinguish when the AR8600 is
106
Section 14-2, 14-3, 14-4
placed in standby or is switched off. If the optional BP8600 is fitted, continuous operation of the lamp
will drain the internal batteries more quickly reducing lifespan between charge cycles.
AUTO
The lamp will automatically illuminate when the keypad or main dial are used. The lamp will remain
illuminated for a further five second after the last key push and will then switch off. This is a good
compromise setting for best visibility and battery life if the optional BP8600 battery is being used.
OFF
This setting is most useful when operating from the optional BP8600 internal battery to reduce power
consumption and increase battery life. The lamp remains permanently extinguished, this is useful when
used in areas of high light levels.
The LAMP is setup in the CONFIG menu. To access the config menu
. ò to move the cursor to the “LAMP” selection point. Use the main dial or ï ð keys
to toggle the lamp between AUTO, CONT and OFF. The key may be used as a short cut to
AUTO.
to accept the data and return to a standard display. Alternatively
to abort entry or ò to move to the next item on the config menu (CONTRAST).
14-3 CONFIG CONTRAST
The AR8600 is equipped with variable LCD contrast which is adjustable in 32 steps to provide best
visibility under different viewing angles, extremes of ambient light & temperature (and between sets due
to variation).
The default setting for contrast is 14. The display generally becomes too dark to read around 20 and too
feint around 02, the key may be used as a short cut to 14. Best results are usually achieved
within the range of 09 - 15.
The CONTRAST is setup in the CONFIG menu. To access the config menu
. ò twice to move the cursor to the “CONTRAST ” selection point. Use the
main dial or ï ð keys to vary the contrast level to achieve best visibility.
to accept the data and return to a standard display. Alternatively
to abort entry or ò to move to the next item on the config menu (auto power off).
14-4 CONFIG Auto power off
An auto power off facility is available to switch the AR8600 off automatically after a programmable period
of squelch inactivity, this prevents the batteries from becoming flat when monitoring a completely
inactive frequency.
&Note: Be careful how you use auto power off as it might catch you out one day
(if a short auto-power-off period has been set), auto power off setting is not cancelled with
power off / on… if the AR8600 appears to switch itself off for no reason, check to make sure
that you haven’t enabled auto power off (there is no associated LCD legend).

Section 14-4, 14-5, 14-6
AUTO POWER OFF is setup in the CONFIG menu.
To access the config menu .
ò three times to move the cursor to the
“AUTO PWR-OFF” selection point. Use the main dial or ï ð keys
to vary the time between 0.5 hours to 9.5 hours in 0.5 hr
increments, the key may be used as a short cut to OFF.
When the AR8600 squelch closes, the CPU will wait the length of
time programmed in auto-power-off before automatically switching the AR8600 off. If the squelch opens
again before auto switch off time has elapsed, the radio will not power down and the counter will be
reset (i.e. an open squelch defeats auto power off).
to accept the data and return to a standard display. Alternatively
to abort entry or ò to move to the next item on the config menu (REMOTE BPS).
14-5 CONFIG REMOTE RS232
The REMOTE BPS menu is used to configure the RS232 computer control settings as it is important that
they exactly match those of an associated computer connection or another AR8600 (connected via a
male 9-pin to male 9-pin straight lead).
The REMOTE BPS parameters are setup in the CONFIG menu.
To access the config menu .

(15) Band scope
The AR8600 is equipped with a flexible band scope function which is capable of graphically displaying
band activity. The maximum frequency span width is 10 MHz, you may zoom in on activity to a span
width of 100 kHz. Centre frequency is displayed and a marker may be manipulated to ascertain the
frequency of activity using the graphical display. One trace may be saved to memory for recall at a later
time and may be overwritten at will. The trace may also be saved and loaded from the optional EM8200
external memory slot card.
&Note: Priority operation is disabled when the band scope is in operation. Audio is muted.
The optional RU8200 is inoperative when the band scope is in operation.
It is suggested that the band scope facility is ‘experimented with’ on a constantly active band such as
VHF Band-II broadcast.
15-1 Starting the band scope
To start the band scope . The frequency span width will be set to 10 MHz with the
last frequency displayed in 2VFO, search, scan or memory read mode being used as the centre
frequency. AUDIO IS MUTED.
110
Section 15-1, 15-2, 15-3
The centre frequency is displayed in the top left of the LCD, one pixel will be missing from the centre of
the graphical base line indicating centre frequency position.
A progress cursor which comprises of a single pixel on the graphical base line travels from left to right
updating the band scope display… this confirms that the band scope is IN OPERATION (especially
useful when a trace is simply being updated or no signals have been located).
The frequency span width is displayed in the upper right corner of the LCD, at default this is 10 MHz.
The frequency marker legend “MKR” is displayed on the second line of the LCD, the marker is also
represented graphically by an upturned triangle (initially placed above-centre of the graphical trace).
When first activated, the centre and marker frequencies are the same (but may be altered).
The graphical trace is built-up from left to right. If no transmissions are encountered the display will
simply form a horizontal line around two pixels in height. When activity is located, vertical lines are
produced on the LCD, the stronger the signal the higher the line.
&Important: To monitor the transmission of the marker frequency and hold the
key. The progress of the scope is halted when the key is held. Squelch
setting has no effect on the band scope trace.
15-2 Exit from band scope
To exit the band scope or or .
15-3 Setting frequency span width (waveform enlargement)
The frequency span width may be adjusted between the limits of 10 MHz (default) to 100 kHz using
the ñ ò keys. The span widths available are:
10 MHz 35s for full trace approx.
5 MHz 20s for full trace approx.
2 MHz 10s for full trace approx.
1 MHz 6s for full trace approx.
500 kHz 3s for full trace approx.
200 kHz 6s for full trace approx.
100 kHz. 3s for full trace approx.
Resolution is 10 kHz with a 12 kHz IF
filter selected (NFM or AM) so that one
pixel represents 140 kHz at maximum
signal strength
Resolution is 2 kHz with a
3 kHz filter (USB, LSB, CW)
111
Section 15-3, 15-4, 15-5, 15-6, 15-7
When the frequency span width is altered, the trace restarts. to refresh the trace
from the start.
15-4 Moving the marker
To move the marker position use the ï ð keys, the channel step will be dependant upon the span
width resolution. To monitor the marker frequency and hold the key. The progress
of the scope is halted when the key is held.
15-5 Marker to strongest signal (peak search)
To simplify operation, it is possible to ‘jump the marker’ to the strongest signal of the current graphical
trace (peak search). and hold the key until the “ «” legend is displayed indicating
that the marker is set to the strongest graphical signal. and hold the key to monitor
the selected frequency. The ï ð keys may be used to hop between the strongest few transmissions.
to disable peak search, the “«” will be removed from the LCD.
&Note: If no signal is found above the background level (or if there hasn’t been time allowed
for a trace to form), peak search will not operate and an error beep will be emitted (if beep is
enabled). This facility cannot be used with a span width of 100 kHz.
15-6 Entering a new centre frequency
To enter a new centre frequency, simply tap the wanted frequency into the keypad. The legend
“CENTRE FREQ” will be displayed on the top line of the LCD with entry taking place on the second line.
To complete entry in MHz format . The marker will be automatically set to the centre
frequency but the frequency span width will be unchanged.
15-7 Transfer of marker frequency to VFO
There are two ways in which the marker frequency may be transferred to VFO for long term monitoring.
Transfer to 2VFO retaining VFO data
to move marker frequency to 2VFO, receive mode
and step are those of the VFO.
Transfer to single VFO with 10 kHz tuning step
Hold the key then to transfer marker frequency to single VFO,
receive will be that used in VFO mode but the tuning step will always be 10 kHz to allow
sensible re-tuning in VFO mode for best reception of the transferred marker frequency
112
Section 15-8, 15-9, 15-10
15-8 Peak hold
The PEAK HOLD facility is used to build up an image of band
activity over a period of time, the display is not totally cleared each
time a trace is made, only strong signals are added.
To toggle PEAK HOLD on/off
, the “HLD” legend confirms when peak hold is active.
The ï ð keys may be used to move the marker position and key may be held to monitor
activity on the marker frequency.
15-9 Saving active trace to memory
To save the current trace to internal memory (for later retrieval)
. It is suggested that the peak hold facility
be employed before saving a trace so that it provides more
meaningful information.
If the optional EM8200 is used, it possible to save four further
traces to external memory. Refer to
for further information regarding this feature.
section 18-7-7
of this manual
15-10 Loading stored band scope traces from memory
Providing a trace has been previously stored to memory, it is possible to recall it to display using the key
sequence . The legend “RCV” (in the place of “MKR”) indicates
that a stored trace is currently being displayed.
The AR8600 will no longer sweep the frequency range but the key may still be used to monitor
the marker frequency. Key in a new centre frequency to return to a real time band scope.
It is possible to move the marker across the graphical trace using the ï ð keys. Waveform enlargement is available by changing the frequency sweep width using the ñ ò keys.
If the optional EM8200 is used, it possible to load any one of four
further traces from external memory. Refer to
this manual for further information regarding this feature.
It is also possible to connect the AR8600 to an external Spectrum
Display Unit, the AOR SDU5500 has been designed specifically
for this purpose. Please refer to
manual. The 10.7MHz i.f. output BNC socket on the rear of the
AR8600 will need to be activated in a workshop prior to operation
with the SDU5500.

(16) Sleep ¹
It is possible to instruct the AR8600 to automatically switch to standby after a predetermined time, this is
particularly useful if you know that you may be called away from the receiver or listen to it while in
bed and don’t want the batteries to become completely flat.
Use the key sequence to accesses the SLEEP menu.
Use the main dial, ï ð keys or key to toggle sleep
on/off. For convenience SLEEP is default ON when this menu is
accessed so that you have simply to access and exit the menu for
sleep to be activated.
Either to save the changes and exit the menu
or ò to move the cursor to the sleep TIME menu. Use
the main dial to set sleep time in 1s increments or ï ð keys to
increment in 10 seconds, the range is between 1 and 120 minutes,
is a short cut to 60 minutes (default).
The AR8600 will automatically switch to standby after the programmed time has elapsed.
To accept the data and activate sleep . The display will return to standard format and
the circular CLOCK legend ¹ will be displayed to remind you that automatic power off will take place.
The next time that the AR8600 is powered on, the sleep facility will be automatically cancelled.
(17) Computer control
Connect the AR8600 to the serial port of a computer using an
RS232 lead terminated in a 9-pin male plug, refer to
(page 8)
of this manual for connection details.
The RS232 parameters may be defined using the CONFIG menu.
Baud rates (transfer speed) may be set to 4800, 9600 or
19200bps. It is also possible to set an ‘address’ to facilitate
connection of up to 99 AR8600 to a single port for custom
operation, the addresses may be set between the limits of 01 to
99 with 00 representing single radio operation.
When operating from external RS232, the legend ¤ will be displayed on the LCD. Please refer to
section 14-5
of this manual for information on the CONFIG menu settings.
section 1-5
17-1 How to send an RS232 command
Each command comprises of two upper case letters (header) along with options as required. All
commands use ASCII code which MUST BE IN UPPER CASE (except for the ñòïð arrow keys and
remote ID command (^A) which are non-printable and use the control codes of ASCII). A terminal
program running on a computer should be set to: 4800, 9600 or 19200bps to match the AR8600,
DATA 8-bit, STOP 2-bits, PARITY none, XFLOW on.
114
Section 17-1, 17-2
Please check the AOR web sites for suitable software which may be made available.
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
with 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. Send a [CR] then re-send the
command. Should problems persist, check your connections and try reducing the RS232 baud rate.
AR8600 remote indication: When the AR8600 has received a command via the RS232C port the
receiver’s LCD will display the ¤ symbol. The AR8600 will appear frozen while RS232 operation is in
progress. To return operation to the radio keyboard, on the AR8600.
