18、each socket as each socket is identical. Hold the slot card so that its label also faces upward. An arrow printed on the slot card indicates the direction of entry into the AR8600, insert the connector end of the slot card into the AR8600 (the end you will be left holding has groves to help grip). W

19、ithout using excessive force, use a thumb to push the slot card into the body of the AR8600 until only the grooved section is left protruding. ?Note: Care should be taken not to insert the wrong card into each socket as every socket is identical apart from the label. The AR8600 will automatically re

20、cognise each optional slot card. Refer to section 18-2 of this manual. When slot cards are fitted, the AR8600 menu system dynamically changes to reflect the slot card currently fitted. If however the AR8600 thinks that a slot card option is fitted when it isnt, access the slot card menu and disable

21、the option. You may wish to leave certain items selected if they are not affecting current operation in order to minimise reprogramming when slot cards are removed and refitted at a later time. 18-1-2 Removing the slot card Always switch the AR8600 off when removing a slot card. Use the thumb and fo

22、refinger to firmly grip the desired card and pull in a straight line remove, do not wriggle the card as this places unnecessary stress on the slot card connector. The stiffness of the cards varies and may be tighter when used for the first few times, dont use excessive force or tools! 18-2 Slot card

23、 OPTION menu - registering a slot card Once the slot cards have been fitted, they must be registered for use via the slot card menu. This is because only one slot card from GROUP 1 and one slot card from GROUP 2 can be used simultaneously, registering the slot cards is a way of managing their use. T

24、he optional slot cards must be REGISTERED via the SLOT CARD OPTION MENU before they can be manipulated via their own control menus. To access the slot card registration menu option menu The menu is presented in two sections (pages), the first covers the slot cards in GROUP 1 (TE8200, CT8200, VI8200)

25、 and the second page covers the slot cards in GROUP 2 (EM8200, RU8200). The ? arrow keys are used to move between lines representing the slot card fitted, if you do not have the listed card fitted, you will not be able to move to the displayed line, it will be skipped. Section 18-1, 18-1-1, 18-1-2,

26、18-2 126 For example, if you have the TE8200 and VI8200 slot cards fitted, pressing the ? key will skip over the CT8200 selection line, the second page containing the EM8200 and RU8200 entries will also be inaccessible. The ? key may be used to move backward through the menu items. Ignore the “AUT”

27、legend if displayed on the LCD. When the cursor is flashing on the desired line for the required option, use ? or or MAIN DIAL to REGISTER or DE-REGISTER the option as a toggle. When registered, the lagend “?” will be displayed on the LCD next to the slot card description. Remember, you may register

28、 one slot card from GROUP 1 and one card from GROUP 2 for simultaneous operation if desired. To complete the selection, 18-3 TE8200 optional tone eliminator slot card The TE8200 enables the AR8600 to ignore certain transmission tones which would otherwise stop the scan and search processes. Pilot to

29、nes are often transmitted by public utility services and railways making their transmissions troublesome and fatiguing to monitor without the use of the TE8200. The TE8200 may also be programmed to re-start scanning when an engaged tone is encountered, such a bleep is often featured by semi-duplex p

30、ublic service repeaters. There are 256 values for the tone eliminator ranging from 0 to 255 representing a frequency range of 0.4 kHz to 4.2 kHz. Insert the TE8200 slot card and switch the AR8600 on, select VFO mode. Register the TE8200 slot card to access the slot card registration menu “OPTION SEL

31、”. The AR8600 will have recognised that the TE8200 has been fitted so will present the first group of slot card options and the selection line for the tone eliminator “TONE ELMT”. The tone eliminator is the first item of the whole menu so you do not need to use the ? keys unless scrolling back from

32、another slot card entry. When the cursor is flashing to the left of the “TONE ELMT” legend, use ? or or main dial to REGISTER (or de-register as a toggle) the tone eliminator option. When registered, the lagend “?” will be displayed on the LCD next to the slot card menu description. (Remember, you m

33、ay select one slot card from GROUP 1 and one card from GROUP 2 for simultaneous operation if desired). To complete the registration of the TE8200 To use the TE8200 Once the TE8200 has been registered, toggling on/off of the tone eliminator and selection of tone is accomplished from the TE8200 menu.

34、to access the TE8200 Section 18-2, 18-3 127 menu. the key to toggle the tone eliminator on and off (default off). Use the main dial to make selection of tone in 256 steps from 0 to 255, the ? ? keys are used to increment selection of tone in increments of 10. When selecting the value, the legend “?”

35、 will be displayed to the left of the numeric value to indicate that the displayed tone value is contained in the current receive frequency, this greatly eases location of the offending tone frequency to allow scan and search to continue. To accept the data input , alternatively to abort entry . Whe

36、n active, the LCD legend “T.EL” will be displayed in the bottom left corner of the LCD. Refer to the table to reconcile value with frequency: Frequency (kHz) 0.4 0.6 1.0 1.4 1.8 2.2 2.6 3.0 3.4 3.8 4.2 Tone value 0 70 160 190 210 220 230 237 240 245 248 - - - - - - - - - - - 60 110 170 200 220 230 2

37、35 240 245 248 250 Tone eliminator setting and value may be held separately in each VFO, search bank and memory channel. The squelch should be set to threshold in the usual manner. Operation continues as normal with the tone eliminator active, however if a transmission is encountered which contains

38、a pilot tone which matches the current setting of the tone eliminator, the squelch will close allowing the scan and search processes to continue i.e. the AR8600 will NOT think that it has found an active receive frequency or blank carrier. ?Note: The tone eliminator does not remove whistles from the

39、 loudspeaker, it purely allows scan & squelch to continue unhindered. 18-4 CT8200 optional CTCSS slot card The CT8200 enables the AR8600 to search for 50 CTCSS tones which may be in use on the current receive frequency and to save a specific CTCSS tone (from the 50 tones available) into each VFO, ea

40、ch search bank and every memory channel individually. CTCSS is used by many amateur band repeaters, public utilities and private mobile radio services where shared resources are used, CTCSS ensures that operators only hear traffic intended for them. Register the CT8200 slot card Insert the CT8200 sl

41、ot card and switch the AR8600 on and REGISTER the CT8200 card via the OPTION SELECT registration menu. Refer to section 18-2 and the example for the TE8200 shown in section 18-3. To use the CT8200 Select VFO mode by pressing to place the AR8600 in to a known condition. Once the CT8200 has been regis

42、tered, toggling on/off of the CTCSS and selection of CTCSS tone is accomplished from the CT8200 menu. to access the CT8200 menu. Section 18-3, 18-4 128 the key to toggle the CTCSS facility between OFF / ON / SRCH (default is off). To abort entry and exit the menu . ?Note: You wont be able to audibly

43、 hear a CTCSS tone due to the low frequencies employed and audio characteristics of the AR8600 (and other receivers). 18-4-1 CTCSS tone squelch While in the CTCSS menu, to activate the CTCSS facility (the LCD legend “ON” is displayed in reverse highlight). Use the main dial or ? ? keys to make selec

44、tion of CTCSS tone from the 50 available, the value cannot be adjusted when the menu is set to “OFF”. The current CTCSS tone is displayed on the last-but-one line of the LCD, the legend “?” is displayed to the left of the CTCSS frequency when the current receive frequency is using the displayed CTCS

45、S tone, this assists manual selection of the correct tone. To accept the data input , alternatively to abort entry . The selected CTCSS tone may be used in VFO (separate CTCSS tones may be held in each VFO) and independent CTCSS tones saved in each search bank and memory channel. While in VFO, the l

46、egend “CTC” is displayed in the lower left corner of the LCD to indicate that CTCSS is active. The audio will be completely muted until a transmission occurs which contains the specified CTCSS tone even when the squelch is set fully anti-clockwise (open), it is normal for the occasional splutter to

47、be produced as CTCSS type fingerprints naturally occur in everyday transmissions and background noise. Scan & search banks: It is even possible to scan & search with the squelch open when CTCSS is active but scan/search rates will be reduced significantly. To achieve the best speeds, set the squelch until the “S” legend is extinguished in the usual manner. Refer to the CTCSS table of available tones: 94.8100.0103.5107.2110.9 114.8118.8123.0127.3131.8 136.5141.3146.2151.4156.7 162.2167.9173.8179
