Handheld Amateur VHF/UHF Scanner / receiver Handheld Amateur VHF/UHF Scanner / receiver <BR>Police Scanner / Communication Receiver [[File:AOR_AR-900p1.jpg]] This radio is a wide range AM and FM mode receiver. It is a discontinued model. There are not a lot of these radios out there, and very little information is available. The manufacturer offers no information on their web site for this model. It is a capable model that covers a wide range of frequencies.==Quick Start====HowTo: Basic Operation==When turned on, scanner goes immediately to scan. * To stop scanning, press the MANUAL button (3rd row 1st button)* To go directly to a channel press the letter of the bank (bottom row A - E) and type the desired channel number (a number between 1 and 20). Begin single digit channels with preceding zero.* You can step forward though channels by pressing the MANUAL button.=== Program a frequency into scanner===When turned on, scanner goes immediately to scan. Press the MANUAL button to stop scanning.* Press MANUAL* Navigate to the memory bank and channel number to be programmed* Enter the frequency and select AM/FM or verify* Press the ENT button (4th row last button) to commit frequency to that memory bank channelFor those, and that is the vast majority of us, who===Clear all channels from memory===want to listen to something immediately and read theThis would be akin to a reset.Instruction Manual later, please carry out the followingsteps:-1.Fit the thinner of the two aerials (push on and turn).===Connect headphone or ext speaker===Connection on top is for a sub-mini 2.5mm 3/32" TS phono plug. The jack is labeled simply "EAR." An adapter to go from the tiny 3/32" plug to a more modern 1/8" or 1.4" plug will make this useful. See a discussion on phono plug sizes here: [[TRS_Phono_Plug#Sizes|Phono Plug Sizes]]. This scanner uses a mono TS plug.2.Turn squelch (SQ) control fully counterclockwise.==User Manual from OCR==3.

MANUAL Virtually every aspect of this mode has already MODE. been covered, so nothing can be added. Thiscompletes the operating of the AR9ooUK, butthe following one or two notes may be ofinterest. ==Manual: AERIALS==''note: OCR from original owner manual UK version. May contain OCR related character errors.'' There are two aerials supplied, the thinner moresuitable for frequencies above 4ooMHz and the thicker forbelow this. If you are scanning a mixture of frequencies, it isa question of trying both aerials to see which performs best.Slightly greater range will result by using an extending whipaerial, trying it at different lengths, but with the snag that itis more prone to damage both itself and anyone close-by.Although connection of an outside aerial system such as adiscone or ground plane on the house roof will oftenproduce better signal strengths, such aerials will generallyproduce bloeking or overloading effects on the AR9ooUK,which is designed to operate with the aerials supplied. YourDealer will be able to advise and supply suitable aerials, orreading any of the books on scanners (our own littlepamphlet makes sound sense) will aid your understanding ofthe factors involved. Some form of roof aerial is to berecommended when using the AR9ooUK in the car - if youhave a favourite band, an aerial for that band is a good ideaand again your Dealer can advise. == List of AOR Scanners and Radios ==* Aor Ar1000xlt Wide Range Monitor Receiver Scanner* Nice Ar 800 Wide Range Scanner And Receiver* Aor Ar7000 Wideband Receiver rare Near* New ar-mini Wide Band Scanner* New Battery Door cover Part 1ea For Ar8200 Mk3 ar8200mk3 mkiii* Aor Ar-3000a Radio* Aor Ar3000a Am Fm Usb Lsb Cw Wfm Nfm* Aor Ar-950 Vhf uhf Receiver scanner 950 Mhz* Aor Ar-mini Wide Band Handy Scanner New N.r.* Aor Ar Mini Wide Band Receiver- Unblocked* Vi-8200 Voice Inverter Slot Card Ar8200 Ar8600* Aor Ar-8000 Wide Band Receiver With Action Hunter Antenna And Original Box* Aor Ar7030 Communications Receiver Shortwave Receiver* Aor Ar3000a Parts Give Your s A Face Lift All New Parts* Aor-3000a Communicatios Receiver* Aor Ar3000a Hi-freq mult-iband Monitor.receiver Manual* Ar8000 Handheld Scanner* New Dc Power Cable For Ar2002 Ar3000 Ar3000a Others* Ar8200 Mark Iii B Scanner With Accessories* New Aor-ar8600mk2 Communications Receiver* Aor Ar1000xlt Scanner Monitor New* Cu-8232 Ar 8000 Control Unit Pc Rs232c Scanner Ham* New ar-8200mk3 ar8200mk3 Wide Band Scanner* Ar8200mk3 Wide Range Receiver Scanner* Aor Ar 8000 Receiver -computer Control Software-scancat* Wl500 Window Loop Antenna 3.5 30 Mhz* Aor Ar 3000a Receiver Scanner* Aor Ar 1000xlt Wide Range Portable Scanner No Lockouts* Aor Ar-8000 Wideband Receiver Hf Vhf Uhf Am Fm Usb Lsb* Aor Ar-900 Vhf uhf Am fm Handheld Scanner Receiver Radio* New Sr2000a Fft Frequency Monitor Unblocked* Vi-8200 Voice Inverter Ar8200 Nos* Hand Held Programmable Scanner* Rf Counter Reaction Tune Icom Optoelectronics Tscm* Sa7000 Super Wideband Coverage Receive Antenna* Aor Ar-5000 Super Wideband Receiver hf vhf uhv Multimod* Sdu 5000 Spectrum Display Ham Radio Ar 3000 Scope* Aor-ar8200 Wide Range Scanner* Aor 1000 Wide Range Portable Scanner* Scanner Mk3 Power Supply* Aor Ar 8000 Wide Range Receiver* Ar8200mk3b Communications Receiver Bought July 29 2011* Ar8200 Mk3 Wide Range Receiver Unblocked* New 800 Mhz Mini-snoop Scanner Antenna Fits Uniden Aor+* Ar8600 Receiver Scanner Condition* Aor 7030 Shortwave Radio Receiver* Aor 1000xlt 1000 Ch Scanner With Case .5 To 1300 Mhz* Aor Ar2800 Wide Band Scanner Receiver* Wide Range Monitor Ar-2500 Mobile Scanner Radio* Hand Held Receiver Ar1000xlt* Aor Ar 1000xlt Scanner- Working* Aor Ar-2500 Turbo Scanning Monitor Receiver 5 To 1300mh* Aor Ar7030 Shortwave Radio Receiver* Aor 8200 Mkii Wideband Receiver Scanner W em-8200* Aor8000 Computer Interface Computer Software - Used* Aor Ar-2515 Wideband Receiver* Ar8200 Mkiii Wide Range Reciever - Unblocked
