AR1000 Applications

Optimizing your scan and search banks

Because the AR1000 has 1,000 individual scan channels in ten banks and ten

individual search banks, it can be quite a task organizing and optimizing every-

thing. Below you will find some techniques and suggestions for getting the most

out of this large memory space.

Scan banks

You should think of the scan banks as not only holding frequencies that you will

actively scan, but as being a general memory repository for many frequencies—

even ones you won’t actively scan all the time.

Because of the AR1000’s non-volatile memory, you can store infrequently used

frequencies in the scanner and recall them at those rare times when it’s

appropriate.

Search banks

Unless you do a tremendous amount of band searching, you probably won’t need

to permanently assign all ten search banks. Set up four or five of them to the

bands you regularly search, use a couple for AM, FM, or shortwave radio sta-

tions, and leave the rest for special searching tasks.

Here are some tips to help you use the AR1000 memory space:

◆ Assign one or more scan banks as non-scanning frequency repositories

You may want to have a set of discrete frequencies in your scanner that you can

easily get to that you won’t scan on a regular basis. For example, the AR1000

picks up both regular AM and FM radio broadcasts. It also (with the right

antenna) picks up many strong shortwave stations. You can assign one bank to

hold these discrete frequencies. You wouldn’t scan this bank because the scanner

would stop on every station (since most radio stations broadcast all the time).

However, you can single step through the channels (better yet, use the techniques

in “Stepping Through the Scan Banks”) to select among these channels.

Alternatively, you can copy a select group of frequencies from the “storage” bank

into an active scan bank. For example, you may keep all of the Marine VHF

frequencies in a storage bank. At some point you can simply copy the port

operations frequencies from the repository bank to an active scanning bank using

the group copy method on page 30.

◆ Assign the scan channel numbers appropriately

If you can, make the scan channel numbers have some relationship to the things

you are storing in them. For example, it makes a lot of sense to program in the

forty Citizens Band channels into scan channels 1 through 40. It becomes very

1 2 ... 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 ... 90 91
