AOR AR8000 Commands

AOR AR8000 Commands

This summary is under construction and is not complete. Most of the commands have been tested, but there may be errors. Please report all errors and or omissions to the author.

The names of most commands were invented by me, since the manual that comes with the computer interface does not list any names for the commands. If you have better names, e-mail me.

Make sure that the communication settings are set correctly. The things you can control using the radio’s functions are the communication line speed (up to 9600) and the command delimiter. For the latter, you can choose between carriage return only or carriage return followed by line feed.

All commands to the radio must be delimited by the delimiter as set in the radio. Responses from the radio will use the same setting to delimit each line of output. Several commands may be put on a single line, separated by a blank. Note that use of the EX command switches the radio back into non-remote mode (local), and it is processed asynchronously. It may, therefore, interrupt any output in progress from a previous command, even if issued on the same line.

Descriptions and terminology

All commands consist of two uppercase ASCII letters, optionally followed by parameters. The details are described with each command. Each description typically also includes a small table with examples of the command and its output. In those tables, the characters “<” and “>” serve to visually delimit the characters sent or received; they are not part of the actual commands or the generated output! The commands are best studied in the functionally organized group listing, but for reference, it is easier to consult the alphabetical listing.
