Daniel from Canada:
Hi , Friday I receive my 2 software from Radio HF ( Arc5000 , Arc8200 )
after I play with it all the weekend I am very happy ! Great job . Soon I am
gonna send you my payment for the Arc2 and Arc8000.
PS: I'm gonna trash my Scancat..... .

Mogens from Denmark just send me this message:
Well, I must say - It gives me much pleasure working with the ARC8200 and the ARC5000 software.

I'm a bit puzzled.

I've reported a problem to Simon Collings regarding his "Spectrum Master".
When downloading FROM the AR5000(+3), and the text-field starts with "P1" then his program sets the PASS-option for that channel.
Simon claims it is at firmware-fault !

But with your your program - no problem :-)

I just started playing some minutes with the AOR software and this is JUST WHAT I NEED!!!

After a few minutes without any help from any manual ( menu is very easy and intuitive) I was able to setup my scanner and start logging frequencies as needed.

My work in the satellite field force me to use a software program in order to find audio transmissions in satellites and this software is a MUST have for any serious AOR user.

Congratulations for a fine piece.

Thanks

More Details

• Software Introduction
• ARC5000 Memory Manager
• ARC5000 Search Manager
• ARC5000 Bandplan Manager
• ARC5000 EEprom Browser
• ARC5000 Spectrum Analyser
• ARC5000 Virtual Control Center

System requirements: Windows 3.1/95/98/NT4.
NT2000 is NOT supported! You can install/run the software under NT2000 but communication with receiver is unreliable!

Here is an overview of the tools:

• ARC5000 Memory Manager
• ARC5000 Search Manager
• ARC5000 Bandplan Manager
• ARC5000 EEprom Browser
• ARC5000 Spectrum Analyser
• ARC5000 Virtual Control Center

AR5000 Memory Manager:

As you probably noticed setting up a memory bank using the keyboard is very time consuming because of bad ergonomics (IF Bandwidth is a Shift option). Every memory channels holds 24 parameters(!). My ARC5000 Memory Manager reads all these parameters and presents them in a friendly spread-sheet format.

The program offers:

• V1.30 now has the famous "webcatcher"! (not in demo)
• Edit of most parameters (including CTCSS !!!)
• Cut/Copy/Paste Options with Clipboard support
• Cut/Copy/Paste complete mem.channel data
• Only ARC5000 reads and writes CTCSS without removing them from your memory bank
• Link an offset to your memory channels. ARC reads the actual offsets you programmed.
• Sort option
• Edit the scan parameters (delay,pause,voice,level)
• Edit the bank link settings:

  

• Right Mouse Button Popup menu
• Insert/Remove Channels
• The registered version support a customize function so you can decide which parameters are shown in the table.
• Easy fill option for setting up a bank in a few mouse clicks:

Here a list of parameters the current version (also the demo) reads from the AR5000:

• 
  Frequency
• 
  Mode
• 
  Automode
• 
  IF-Bandwidth
•

•

•

• 
  CTCSS frequency (Only ARC5000 reads and writes the CTCSS data!)
• 
  Pass
• 
  Select
• 
  AGC
• 
  DTMF On/OFF
• 
  Offset reference
• 
  Front end tune (read only)
• 
  Sub step (read only)
• 
  Step-adjust (read only)

AR5000 Bandplan Manager:

The AR5000 has a nice future called AUTOMODE. In AUTOMODE the receiver uses a table as a reference for setting mode/step/bandwidth/step offset. Unfortunately this pre-programmed bandplan does not match your local bandplan. This tool is used to reprogram your bandplan. The data is read from the EEprom and presented in a spread-sheet format. You can add/remove/modify entries in the table and send the new data back. A maximum of 128 entries is available.

Other futures: Open a bandplan from disk Save a bandplan Link an offset to your bandplan Add text to the bandplan View the offsets programmed in your AR5000 The software includes the USA and Europe bandplan that came with the AR5000. Use these to build your personal bandplan.

EEprom Browser

The software package includes a copy of the EEprom Browser I wrote. I used this browser to discover the secrets of the AR5000 eeprom. With the browser you can create a backup file of your AR5000 EEprom.

The famous ARC spectrum analyzer is also available for the AR5000. See other site for info and more screenshots. The spectrum analyzer includes cumulative, continue and single peak mode. A powerful ZOOM option let's you zoom in at a certain range with a few mouse clicks. The 5000 is automatically updated with the new search range. A hit spectrum and extended log options are also available. You can setup all colors and horizontal/vertical lines. The EASY LISTENING option tunes the 5000 to a received frequency by double clicking a peak in the Spectrum.
ARC5000 includes the spectrum analyzer software too.
Here is a screen shot of spectrum analysis I did of a cellular band in The Netherlands using ARC5000:

Search Manager

Setup your search banks. The data is presented in a spread-sheet window like the memory manager.

Here are some options

• Full copy/paste/cut support
• Sort the 20 search banks
• Save data to disk
• Read data from disk
• Setup the search parameters (delay, pause, voice, level)
• Setup the bank links
• Program special steps with a shift
• Edit the pass frequencies:
