AR8200 MKIII Scanning Receiver
|
This new receiver is based on the AR8200 Mk2, the award winning AR5000 and the AR8600 Mk2. The Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) (introduced in the AR8200 Mk 2) has been retained to ensure high stability. The AOR R & D team have fine
tuned the front end switching circuitry design for best sensitivity and strong signal handling over the extended gapless coverage range of 530kHz to 3000 MHz (the Mk2's upper limit was only 2040MHz). Most of the features of the Mark 2 model have been retained.
LCD illumination has been further improved for better visibility. It now has selectable power-saving operating modes (i.e. auto mode provides illumination only when the keypad is touched or a transmission opens the squelch). Four NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries replace the NiCad batteries used in the Mk 2. |
|
The RF front-end is preselected around VHF to ensure the highest levels of adjacent channel rejection with software spurii cancellation. The short wave bands are converted directly to an IF of 45 MHz to remove compromise and a detachable
plug in medium wave bar aerial is provided for localised monitoring with a negative feedback circuit employed. |

 |
All mode receive: WFM, NFM, SFM (Super Narrow FM), WAM, AM, NAM (Wide, standard, Narrow AM), USB, LSB & CW. A 3.0 kHz SSB filter is employed with true carrier re-insertion resulting in non-offset frequency readout for easy tuning of SSB transmissions. An attenuator and noise blanker are also featured. A meaningful band plan is factory programmed specific to market area, this ensures that the AR8200 MK3 automatically selects the correct receive mode and tuning step (although mode and tuning
step may be manually selected at any time), the band plan may be edited via computer control. |
| The side keypad provides four arrow keys presented as a single ‘rocker resulting in more natural and intuitive navigation through the on-screen menus. Tuning is accomplished via a variety of controls including a side panel indented main tuning dial, arrow keys and keypad. |

Computer control is available via a metallic side mounted robust connector and optional lead. An extensive RS232 command-list is supported. The connector also supports cloning of data between two AR8200-series receivers, tape output, detector output, mute and AGC. A software
package providing frequency control & management, searching, scanning, logging
with support for geographic data from a GPS and audio recording to disk is available as a
