The AR3000A was an evolutionary step forward from the highly acclaimed AR3000, many major improvements have been implemented at the request of enthusiastic listeners and commercial organisations. Search and Scan speed has been increased to an unprecedented 50 increments per second.

Your listening horizons are truly extended with receive coverage from l00KHz all the way up to 2036MHz without any gaps in the range. The AR3000A offers the widest coverage on the market today with a high level of performance and versatility from long wave through shortwave, VHF and onward to the upper limits of UHF and SHF.

The high level of performance is achieved by using 15 band Pass filters before the GaAsFET RF amplifiers unlike other receivers which may rely largely on broad band amplifiers.

This ensures high sensitivity through the entire coverage with outstanding dynamic range and freedom from intermodulation effects

Not only will the AR3000A cover this extremely wide range it will allow listening n any mode: NFM, WFM, AM, USB, LSB and CW.

Tuning rates are selectable from ultra-fine 50Hz step for SSB and CW right the way up to 999.95kHz for the TV and VHF broadcast band, x 10 increase and x5 decrease tuning rate buttons have been provided on the front panel to increase versatility .and operational pleasure. A free running rotary tuning control provides the best possible method of user interface especially when listening in the SSB modes.

An RS232 port is provided enabling full remote control Via most computers, control facilities include: Frequencies, Receiver mode, Frequency steps, Writing to/from memory, Signal strength, RF attenuator, Memory bank changeover etc. A rear panel switch changes control between the keypad and RS232 port.

The large comprehensive front panel Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) has an improved 12 o'clock viewing angle which provides a multitude of information such as Search. Scan, Frequency, Memory and additional functions such as Memory bank and Second function. Illumination is provided to increase visibility in areas of low level lighting. The display includes a real time clock for accurate log keeping, there is also a timer and tape output socket for unattended monitoring.

400 memory channels are provided in 4 banks x 100 channels. Each memory channel will retain mode, frequency, RF attenuator setting and lockout status. The first channel of each memory bank may be used as a priority channel providing four channels in total. All memory and search programmed information is retained by an internally fitted lithium battery

The implementation of a more efficient microprocessor has not only lead to greater stability and additional facilities but also increased scanning and search speeds. Front panel memory clear and microprocessor reset facilities are now available.

No less than four search banks are provided, each bank can be programmed by the user to operate anywhere within the tuning range of the receiver. As an aid to searching l00 individual frequencies can be locked out of each of the four search banks to prevent the receiver stopping on continuously occupied frequencies. Enhanced programmable hold and variable pause facilities have been added to the search, scan and priority, this ensures the very highest level of versatility.

The AR3000A is powered from 13.8V DC, a suitable mains power supply is provided with the receiver. Other accessories include a telescopic whip. DC lead and operating manual.

I have it on both my Windows 7 and the 10 computers, and they are sharing the file on the 7 computer, which backs up to Dropbox. Lotus organizer 6.1 upgrade windows. I distribute files from Wordpro as RTFs or PDFs to others, and they can open those directly within Word (Windows version) for editing if they choose.I also sometimes use 1-2-3 - always without any problems at all - but don't ever use Organizer. 81 Adrienne Boswell 8:25:52A quiet farewell Lotus 1-2-3, Organizer and SmartsuiteI am using Lotus Organizer 6.0, on Windows 10 Insider preview build 14986 and Lotus is working just fine.

The AR3000A Plus is a customised AR3000A with several enhancements:

• A Switchable narrower AM filter for shortwave listening
• A Switchable narrow WFM filter for satellite reception
• 10.70MHz I.F. output via a BNC connector added to the rear of the set with a toggle switch for SDU5000 AGC/mute.
• Discrimenator output to the AUX socket plus tape relay for better compatibility with tape recorders including VOX operated machines.

The AR3000 and AR3000A via the external RS232 connection on the rear of the radio can be controlled externally via a Computer. There are several Software packages that support both the AR3000 and AR3000A. AOR produce Searchlight for Windows whilst two alternative packages are ScanCat Pro & Scan*Star Commercial.

Opening an AOR FileAORFile extension: AORFile type:Radio Scanner Frequency ListingWhat is an AOR fileThe AOR file type is primarily associated with Searchlight AR3000/AR3000A by AOR UK LTD.Searchlight is a software package for the IBM (and 100% compatible) computer which allows control of the AOR AR3000A and AR3000 receivers using the RS232 serial port of the computer. How to open an AOR fileYou need a suitable software like from to open an AOR file.Without proper software you will receive a Windows message ' How do you want to open this file?'

(Windows 10) or ' Windows cannot open this file' (Windows 7) or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your AOR file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click 'Open with' and choose an application.Online AOR Text Viewer. An AOR Radio Scanner Frequency Listing is a special file format by AOR UK LTD and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software. How to solve problems with AOR files. Associate the AOR file extension with the correct application.

On, right click or tap the file. Update your software that should actually open Radio Scanner Frequency Listings. Because only the current version supports the latest AOR file format.Search, therefore, e.g. On the manufacturer website after an available Searchlight AR3000/AR3000A update.
