AOR AR-ONE

Super wide band receiver, commercial / government targeted. 10kHz to over 3.3GHz all mode

- Accessories

The AR-ONE gives you total command of frequencies, modes, tuning steps and more.
It is possible to tune in increments of ONE Hertz.

Designed to provide MAXIMUM frequency coverage with ALL MODE receive in the MINIMUM volume,
the AR-ONE is specifically designed with the commercial and government operator in mind.
Strong signal handling on VHF is particularly good although sensitivity approaching 1MHz drops off.

The AR-ONE is also FREQUENCY COHERENT, so multiple receivers may be connected to an
external 10MHz reference (not supplied) for direction finding and data reconstruction applications.
Ultra-stable reference frequency oscillator (0.1ppm)

Computer control is provided via a rear panel RS232 port (9600bps) with a second RS232 port for
hand-off receiver applications and connection to the optional SDU5600 spectrum display unit.

It is planned to develop a detachable front panel head unit (option) to further add to the installation
possibilities.

In the UK, it is supplied with a 12V DC lead and operating manual (optional mains power
supply available PSU/ARONE).
