AR-ONE/C Frequency and phase coherent version of AR-ONE List £4649

Compact high performance receiver for professional applications.
10 kHz to 3.3+ GHz, all mode, computer controllable.

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 cabinet 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 and below is reduced).

The AR-ONE is also frequency (but not phase) coherent, so multiple receivers may be connected to an external 10MHz reference (not supplied). For direction finding and data reconstruction applications - SEE AR-ONE C. For stand-alone operation, a built-in ultra-stable reference frequency oscillator (0.1ppm) is fitted as standard. 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. In fact, a third RS232 socket feeds the front panel which may be totally removed for black-box operation under computer control.
The RS232 identification is selectable to enable multiple receivers (up to 99) to be connected for hand-off applications... an extensive RS232 command list is supported.

The front panel features of a dominant LCD with signal meter, power/volume knob, squelch, keypad, navigation keys and rotary tuning control. A 3.5mm phones socket is also provided.

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

For commercial operators

The front panel may be completely removed for black-box operation or remote head control (optional ONE-SEP required - see pictures). For those requiring black-box operation, you can purchase the AR-ONE without the front panel to save cost (a blanking plate is fitted). The separation cable (approx 5m in length) is also available as an accessory in case one becomes damaged in the field, the plugs too can be purchased as they are a special heavy duty type (blanking plate not available on its own).
