Information
The
AR3030 offers the very latest technology through use of
its’ DDS (Direct
Digital Synthesizer). The legendary Collins 6kHz AM filter
is fitted as standard
to provide the highest levels of AM selectivity. High
stability is accomplished
by the standard fitting of a TCXO (Temperature Compensated
Crystal
Oscillator).
As the model name would suggest, the tunable coverage is
30kHz - 30 MHz
(with 29.999995 MHz being the actual upper limit of tuning)
using silky-smooth
5Hz steps. The
AR3030 offers all mode operation as standard:
AM, S.AM
(double side band synchronous), USB, LSB, CW,
Fax & FM. All
necessary
information relating to frequency, filter setting etc is
presented via a highly
visible switchable backlit custom LCD. Mode selection is
displayed via a series
of LEDs.
Although 5Hz tuning steps are available in all modes coupled
to true automatic
carrier insertion in USB, LSB,
Fax & CW, a separate BFO
control is
selectable in USB, LSB,
Fax & CW to provide even greater
flexibility
producing a manual form of pass band tuning.
While in any receive mode it is possible to increase the
tuning steps from five
Hz (display resolution 10Hz) to hundreds of Hz and kHz by
pressing the kHz
key while in VFO mode. Selection of MHz tuning may also be
accomplished in
VFO mode by pressing the MHz key. The position of the
underscore character
“_” indicates selected tuning rate.
A smooth action rotary tuning control with a
finger-tip-hollow is provided to
ensure a high level of operating pleasure, convenience and
versatility.
Frequencies may be entered directly via the numeric keypad,
great versatility
is provided by careful attention to firmware programming.
Frequencies may be
entered as kHz i.e. [6] [0] [9] [0] [kHz], MHz i.e. [6] [.]
[0] [9] [0] [MHz] or the
“band” may be selected i.e. [4] [9] [mtr] returns to the
last frequency used on
that band, probably no other
Receiver offers such
convenience. All broadcast
bands are recognised as well as region 1,2 & 3 Amateur
bands... i.e. 80, 75,
49m etc.
Twin VFOs retain all necessary information such as
frequency, mode, I.F.
bandwidth, audio filter, attenuator setting and tuning step
size and BFO status
On/Off. 100 memories also hold the full range of settings
making transfer to
and from memory straight forward and very convenient.
