Unprecedented Coverage and Performance
The AOR AR3000A represents a significant advancement in communications receiver technology, building upon the success of its predecessor. With major improvements driven by user feedback, this receiver offers an expanded listening spectrum from 100 kHz to 2036 MHz, covering long wave, shortwave, VHF, and UHF bands without any gaps. Its high performance is achieved through advanced circuitry, including 15 band pass filters and GaAsFET RF amplifiers, ensuring exceptional sensitivity, dynamic range, and freedom from intermodulation effects.
Versatile Listening Modes and Tuning
Experience versatile listening with support for multiple reception modes, including NFM, WFM, AM, USB, LSB, and CW. The AR3000A provides selectable tuning rates, ranging from an ultra-fine 50 Hz step for SSB and CW to wider steps for broadcast bands. Front panel controls, including dedicated $ imes 10$ increase and $ imes 5$ decrease tuning rate buttons, along with a free-running rotary tuning control, enhance user interaction and operational pleasure.
Advanced Features for Enhanced Monitoring
The AR3000A boasts a comprehensive Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with an improved viewing angle, providing detailed information on search, scan, frequency, memory, and more. Features like a real-time clock, timer, and tape output socket facilitate accurate logging and unattended monitoring. With 400 memory channels organized into 4 banks of 100, each capable of storing mode, frequency, and RF attenuator settings, users can efficiently manage their reception preferences. The inclusion of four user-programmable search banks, with the ability to lock out up to 100 frequencies per bank, further refines the search and scan capabilities.
Connectivity and Power
Full remote control is enabled via an RS232 port, allowing computer integration for managing frequency, receiver mode, memory, signal strength, and more. The AR3000A operates on 13.8 V DC and is supplied with a suitable mains power adapter, a telescopic whip antenna, and a DC lead.
