This sale is for a very high end wideband scanning receiver the AOR AR5000 receiver. In some respects, it is the king of receivers. Why? Because it offers both standard tuning and scan features, offers an exceptional array of operating modes, and does this over an incredible frequency range from 10 KHz up through 2600 MHz (with the exception of cell blocked frequencies in the 800 MHz range per federal law). If you are a prepper who wants the best do all receiver in the shelter or if you are a person who admires a receiver that with a proper antenna and within range can literally hear most anything (short of government encrypted or digital signals), then this AR5000 is your receiver. Few receivers offer the combination of exceptional receiving frequencies, array of operational controls, and then put this into a highly configurable package. The selling price has been set in accordance with overall condition and desirability. Electronically, the receiver operates beautifully with no issues or shortcomings. We found sensitivity on the upper FM, VHF, and UHF bands to be nothing short of amazing. When testing, unlike most receivers that receive VHF and can get 3 NOAA weather channels, with this receiver and using the same antenna, we can hear 5 NOAA weather channels.Cosmetically, the receiver is used and in good overall condition. We did notice a couple of marks on the unit and there was a couple of scratches on the clear plastic display lens. Please look closely at our pictures as we endeavored to take shots that allow you to see exactly what to expect to see in person when the AR5000 is delivered to your hands. This AR5000 comes with: low noise AC power supply copy of the owner’s manual copy of the service manual (165 pages) EEB catalog 1997 page copy (Electronic Equipment Bank) Universal Radio catalog page copy AOR catalog 2000 page copy AR5000 sales brochure copy Passport to World Band Radio review 1999 AR5000 quick reference AOR AR5000 manual addendum Finally, the new owner will get a CD that contains lots of useful files containing reviews, manuals, computer control software (no guarantee that it will work for your setup), and other information. There are a total of 535 MB of documents on this CD which contains files not commonly found and also are no longer available. This CD is not for sale as its contents were supplied freely via the many hobbyists over the years. Please do not communicate and request that we sell these documents separately. Those of you who follow our Ebay listings know that we sell a wide variety of receivers. This is one of the more sophisticated receiving units that we offer on Ebay due to the extremely wide coverage and due to the additional aspects of its scanning capabilities. The AR5000 was manufactured from 1996 until about 2008 when it was discontinued and the availability this receiver began to dry up. At this point in time, aficionados are reduced to scouring sources like Ebay for a good unit. So what is it that makes this receiver so special? Well, in addition to its incredible span of receiving frequencies, it incorporates features not typically found in consumer grade receivers. One of these features is a wide band front end that uses electronic preselection between 500 KHz – 1,000 MHz and then uses low pass, band pass, and high pass filters for the other bands. This means that unlike most VHF, UHF and highband scanners, the receiver is virtually immune to nearby transmitters that can often wreak havoc while listening on ordinary scanners. In fact, one of the reviews by amateur operator VK7ZJA on eHam tells about how he compares this receiver to other devices and how the AR5000 does not give him image issues. In other words, the receiver’s front end is virtually bullet proof from overloading! Another thing not commonly found on consumer receivers is a very high grade TXCO (temperature compensated crystal oscillator) fitted as standard giving the receiver excellent stability and tuning accuracy. Some users have said that the drift of the receiver is incredibly small over a range of operational time and operating changes such as temperature and this would make sense as it is rated at 1 PPM (part per million) over a temperature range of 32-121 degrees F (0-50 C). There are multiple tuning steps available as presets or user programmed, but we appreciate that the receiver can tune in the fine resolution of a 1 Hz and does this by utilizing a NCO (Numeric Controlled Oscillator). When we listen to the radio, we often switch regularly between frequencies as we monitor broadcasts or if we want to see if a station is signing on or signing off. With most receivers, you are limited to a single VFO which means that every time you want to jump to another frequency, you have to re-tune the receiver in addition to all the other listening parameters. This can be tedious if you are listening to ham operators and monitoring various nets or if you want to compare signal strength on shortwave of the same broadcaster on different frequencies and especially if you have to re-enter bandwidth, mode, etc. Enter a solution…..multiple VFOs. With the AR5000, you can program a frequency, tuning step, mode, IF bandwidth into each VFO so that you can save several steps when changing bands. For practical tuning, you can use one VFO for listening on the mediumwave band, another for 80 meters LSB, another for 20 meters USB, another for a favorite shortwave band, another for FM broadcast, and others for whatever your heart desires. Thus, you can see the advantages of multiple VFOs for listening. One thing that we found when operating this receiver is the joy of discovery. Since we have had little total hands-on time with the AR5000, we realized that while there are many things in common with other receivers, there are many features not typically found. With many receivers fitted with only standard features, after a few minutes of operation, our time focuses on reception on the various bands and such things as sensitivity and ease of use. However, with this receiver, the basic features are easily recognizable and utilized. But the more we read the manual or pushed buttons, extra options and features came to view. Like a TV remote control that has scads of buttons, this receiver has features that may be used seldom or never. The designers of the AR5000 wanted their product to be able to be utilized in a variety of environments, detecting everything from voice to code to data, and doing this with direct tuning, scanning, or computer control. The standard features are easily located and used without reading the manual, but it is advisable for the owner to study the manual so that they can get realize maximum advantage with all the features. Let us now make a list of some of the features of the AR5000 receiver: · Receiving range of 10 KHz to 2600 MHz (except cell band blocked) · 2,000 Memory Channels · 6 IF Bandwidths 3 / 6 / 15 / 30 / 110 / 220 KHz · Sensitivity from 1.8 – 30 MHz of .56 uV · Operating Modes of AM / FM-n / FM-w / LSB/ USB / CW · 2,000 memories · Audio Filter · Scanning (up to 45 chan/sec) · HF pre-amp · RF Gain · Headphone Jack · External Speaker Jack · BFO · Voice Scan · 5 VFOs · Analog S-Meter · AGC (automatic gain control) · Dial Torque Adjustment · Dial lock · Duplex Offset · Sweep · Squelch · Transmit Mute Line · Tilt Stand Leg Supports (missing on this particular receiver) · Memory Pass · Audio Filter · Priority · Alphanumeric Memories · Attenuator -10 dB · Built-in Speaker · Sleep Timer 1-120 min · Dual Antenna Inputs (SO-239 and N) · Excellent TXCO stability of 1 PPM · DTMF Decoder · Highly Configurable · Computer Controllable via RS-232 Jack · VCS (Voice Controlled Squelch) to eliminate stop-scans on a un-modulated carrier · 20 search banks allowing 20 start/stop frequencies As you can see, this receiver is loaded with features. It would take considerable time discussing most of them at length so we urge you to do some research online via the many web pages devoted to this receiver. For instance, for those who lean toward using the scanning functions, one nice feature is that you can program up to 2100 pass frequencies. Don’t like a frequency, then just pass it. For most scanners, this would require you using a memory to do this. With the AR5000, you have the 2100 pass frequencies that are not a part of memory so you don’t waste memory channels to pass unwanted frequencies. This receiver is not a toy. With its fantastic receiving range, it has the capabilities of picking up the following types of analog transmissions if within range and with a good and proper antenna (we recommend a discone style antenna): Longwave transmissions including broadcasts within Europe or Asia as-well-as beacons & utility broadcasts AM radio broadcast band stations All the amateur radio frequencies of 160 thru 2 meter plus all the high band and satellite communications Marine and ship traffic Shortwave radio broadcasts Military traffic (that is on open channel and not scrambled) Railroad Emergency services as fire, police, ambulance, hospital, lifeflight Family Radio Service and Business Channels TV Audio CB radio NASCAR Channels Road repair and clearance crews Prison security and maintenance traffic University maintenance and security traffic School bus communication Taxi services Drive thru restaurant communications FM Radio broadcasts City Transit Systems (buses, metros, trains, etc) Wireless microphones / baby monitors , etc Amusement park traffic (Disney has a large network) Space communications & satellite communications (if open channel) Microwave transmissions One of the best places to look and research receivers is eHam. This is because the reviewers are non-professionals so the information leans toward practical use and not lab testing. You can find the eHam reviews here where all 11 reviewers gave the AR5000 a 4.8 rating: http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/473 (please copy and paste this link into your internet browser) Another site to explore is the RadioReference.com site that is a clearinghouse of information. Some of the links are dead, but you can still get a lot of information from here: http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/AR5000 (please copy and paste this link into your internet browser) If you visited this site, you will find limited information, but at least you can find a link to download the manual for examination: http://satcom.tonnarelli.com/ar5000.htm (please copy and paste this link into your internet browser) Please use the Ebay shipping calculator to determine your shipping cost.
