The below information has been transfered in part from the
AR-8000 Home Page, as well as contributions from uploads.
The below information is presented here for the
interest of those that want to know all the intricate workings
of their equipment. It is NOT recommended that you attempt to use
these instructions unless you are capable in SOME programming skills.
It IS possible to render your radio "useless" if you make errors
in loading a "faulty" EEPROM infomation file to your AR-8000.
That being said, on to the "workings" of the AR-8000.
The AR8000 allows individual banks, the system area, or the entire
EEPROM to be copied from one radio to another using the following
procedure. This procedure is described in section (19) of the
AR8000 Hand Portable Radio Receiver manual on page 102.
To copy directly from one radio to another, one must have the
AOR CU-8232 (UK) interface. The description below assumes that
the radio has been set to EXPERT status. The procedure is as follows:
The receiver is placed in [FUNC][COPY]SET COPY/RCV-MODE, with
one of ALL-DATA, SYS-DATA, or BANK-DATA indicated as the mode.
If BANK-DATA is selected, a specific bank must be selected on
line four of the LCD display.
This menu initially appears as follows:
When the desired mode has been selected, press [ENT]. The receiver
will enter receive mode, and await data from the sender.
The sender must be placed in the mode that the receiver expects,
using the [FUNC][COPY]SET COPY/SEND-MODE menu. The options are
the same as for the receiver. Once the desired mode has been selected,
press [ENT]. The transfer will begin. The status of the transfer
will be indicated by progress indicator on the AR8000. When the
transfer is complete, the AR8000 will return to the mode it was
in prior to the copy operation.
When the AR8000 is connected to a computer via either the AOR
CU-8232 (UK) interface OR another compatible interface, the
computer may assume the role of either the sending or receiving
radio, and copies may be made in either direction. By using the
computer as a surrogate receiver, the ENTIRE contents of the AR8000's
EEPROM may be backed up. Using the computer as a surrogate sender
allows ALL or PART of the AR8000's EEPROM to be restored or modified.
Scancat-Gold's software will support both Copying of the entire
EEPROM to the computer and Also Transfer of EEPROM data saved with
Scanat's software to another AR-8000. It is important to note that
by using a computer as an intermediary,
a full clone from one AR8000 to itself or another may be performed
using a computer interface. In
particular, a full clone, with or with modifications, may be performed
using ONLY equipment that can be purchased over-the-counter in
the United States. All you need is a PC, an interface and your AR8000.
You DO NOT need another radio.
As far as is known, the British, Japanese, and American models
of the AR8000 itself are distinguished internally only by the
contents of their EEPROMS (not taking into account rumored option
boards). Of course, accessories will differ.
The US model comes with accessories that are suitable for 110
VAC, and a bandplan suited to the USA (more or less). The US model
also sports a sticker on the back giving EDCO's address, along
with a real FCC ID (ICX AR8000) that renders it "street legal"
in the USA. This is somewhat comforting, if you find yourself
in situations where toys have been scrutinized by security
types of various stripes. It might also make things less complicated
should you try to leave the country with it.
In any case, if you've been avoiding US gear because
you thought there was no way to modify the EEPROM without a UK
interface and a second radio, and you've got a computer, you should
instead cut your best deal on a radio and interface without regard
for the whether the equipment is foreign or domestic.
To copy in either direction, the AR8000 must be set up to play
the role of sender (SND) or receiver (RCV), and the PC must be
set up to play the other role. The setup instructions for the
AR8000 side of the transaction are as for the two radio case above,
while the instructions for the PC side will depend on the software
being used.
Among others, the following software options are available:
Scancat-Gold supports saves, modifications and restoration
of any location in the AR8000's EEPROM. It will permit changes
to global parameters, as well as bandplan table inspections and
modifications. Demo versions of Scancat-Gold can be found at this
we site, in the Scanning area of the HamNet forum
on CompuServe, Genie's Radio & Electronics Library, and on the Computer Aided
Technologies BBS at (318) 631-3082.
The following holds regardless of whether a COPY is being done
between two AR8000s, or an AR8000 and a computer.
While it is possible to conduct a COPY operation, in either direction,
"by hand" using cut-and-paste commands and a terminal
emulator, this approach can be tedious, and is error prone. Nonetheless,
given a fair bit of patience, this is certainly possible. An ALL-DATA
copy requires 513 (512+1) distinct transactions. A BANK-DATA copy
requires 21 (20+1) transactions, while a SYS-DATA copy requires
113 (112+1) transactions.
Given that one has the requisite programming skills and tools,
the construction of a computer program that implements this protocol
is preferable.
0x6400 = 25600. bytes = 400. 64 byte chunks
There are 20 0x500 = 1280. byte SCAN/SRCH banks
0x1C00 = 7168. bytes = 112. 64 byte chunks
The layout of these constituent parts is as follows:
Each bank contains both the SCAN and SRCH data for the corresponding
letter (ABCDEFGHIJabcdefghij)
Bank Offset/Contents (e.g. Axx)
50. 16 byte SCAN entries
2 16 byte SRCH header entries followed by 5 64 byte Pass Frequency
Banks
Bank Offset/Contents
Each of the 50 Scan Table Entries in each of the 20 banks has
the following format:
Bytes 0-6 (TG6-TG0):
The Text Tag for this entry. The last byte of the tag appears
in byte 0 of the entry, while the first byte appears in byte 6.
Any unused bytes should be filled with blanks (0x20). This backwards
tag presentation is a trifle unconventional, but that's what's
out there. Maybe the microcode worked out better that way for
some reason, or perhaps the authors are more comfortable reading
dumps from right-to-left.
Byte 7 (F Flags):
Byte 8 (Flags):
Bytes 9, A and the low-order nibble (bits 3-0) of B (S Step):
For example, the step ST125000 would appear as:
where "tg" represents tag data, "fl" represents
flag data, and "qq" represents frequency data.
Bytes B (high-order nibble) and Bytes C, D, E, and F (Frequency)
where "tg" represents tag data, "fl" represents
flag data, and "st" represents STEP data.
Examples:
The first entry in the SCAN memory of a US AR8000 out-of-the box
is as follows:
This corresponds to the entry:
(Blanks display as underscores, and non-ASCII characters as
blanks in these memory layout figures.) Note that byte 7 contains
0A = 0x8 | 0x2, where bit 3 is the AUT bit, and 0x2 is the 3 bit
MODE in bits 2-0. The step is composed of the low-order nibble
from byte B together with bytes A and 9: 0x 01 00 (0) together
with the implicit low-order zero to yield 001000.
Likewise bytes F, E, D, C, together with the high-order nibble
of B, and an implicit zero yield the following 10 digit frequency:
Empty entries are encoded as follows:
Note that both the EMPTY and PASS flags are set in byte 7 for
empty entries. The 0x20 bytes are ASCII BLANK/Space characters.
Unused entries, it seems, must have this format.
The data for each search bank begins immediately after the last
SCAN table entry. Search banks are comprised of a 32 byte header,
followed by a 320 byte PASS table.
The SRCH bank header is located at offset 0x320 (800.) from the
start of each bank. The first 16 bytes of a SRCH bank have essentially
the same format as a SCAN table entry. See the description above
for this information. Thus this block determines the TEXT (block
name), the various flags, the STEP and OFFSET. The FREQUENCY entry
for this block caches the CURRENT search frequency for the search
bank. Hence, a search may be resumed even after the power has
been turned off. The values given by this entry apply to the entire
search. Empty SRCH tables have the following format:
where bytes marked as "x" may contain left over data.
The search limit block is a 16 byte block that is located at offset
0x330 from the start of each bank. This block has the following
format:
LB is the Lower Bound, while UB is the Upper Bound. Since they
seem to have had a little more room here, all 10 digits of each
frequency are represented in what should by now be the familiar
Packed BCD format. For example, a limit bank for a search bank
with the limits 425.010000 to 469.000000 would be encoded as:
Unused limit entries are encoded as:
The Search header is followed by the Pass Frequency List (see
Chapter (14) FREQUENCY PASS on page 91 of the AR8000 manual. Each
entry in this list has the following format:
The digits above represent the 8 high order digits of each pass
frequency. Since pass entries within 10kHz of each other are folded
together, pass entries can be squeezed into 4 bytes of EEPROM.
This would suggest that the criterion is not that pass frequencies
with +/- 10kHz of each other are folded, but that frequencies
with the same 8 digit representation are folded (which is not
quite the same thing). Pass banks, are, by the way, an extremely
handy feature.
Entries are stored at the following offsets:
Unused entries contain 4 bytes of FF. Since each bank of 10 4
byte entries takes 40 bytes in all, the last 24 bytes of each
bank are padded with FF entries.
The last 32 bytes of each bank, from offset 0x480 to 0x500, are
evidently unused. In the US AR8000, some of the bytes in three
of these banks (A, D, and I) are filled with scratch data that
never seems to change. The rest of the banks contain all FFs in
this area. I suspect that the data in the three banks in question
has propagated unchanged, from load to load, for some time.
There is little need to master these formats, since the data in
them can be manipulated from the AR8000's front panel, as well
as via commands to the computer interfaces. The same is NOT true
for parts of the SYSTEM AREA.
Example:
The following example shows the layout of the out-of-the-box values
for SCAN Memory entries A08 and A09 in the US AR8000:
The SYSTEM AREA begins at offset 0x6400 from the beginning of
the EEPROM. It is a total of 7168 bytes long. Unused space (and
there is a fair bit of it) is filled with FF bytes. I've identified
the following areas (to recapitulate):
This area of EEPROM contains the names and callsigns for
some of the members of the AR8000 design/programming team. An
amusing touch.
This area is where the AR8000 stores its state when it is turned
off, along with the bank linkage information for both SCAN and
SRCH mode, as well as who knows what else.
The area from 0x7400 to 0x74C7 contains up to 100 SEL-SCAN
[FUNC][S SCAN] entries. Memory from 0x74C8 to 0x74FF is FF filled.
Each entry has the following format:
The entry above indicates SCAN Entry C35. The SCAN bank entry
number for the list entry is given in the first byte (offset 0)
of each entry. Note that the BCD for the SCAN entry is encoded
in reverse BCD. The second byte (offset 1) contains the SCAN bank.
The bank letters ABCDEFGHIJabcdefghij are represented as numbers
from 0 to 19, respectively, in the second byte of each entry.
Unused entries are represented as FF FF.
The 2048. byte Bandplan Table contains the entries that determine
the parameters that are automatically set for various regions
of the radio spectrum when AUTO mode is in effect. The bandplan
data cannot be accessed via any computer interface commands I
am aware of. It can, however, be changed via a SET COPY/RCV-DATA
operation. Using this feature, one can customize the automatic
bandplan as one sees fit. Each entry in the bandplan table has
the following format:
Bytes 0-5 are Unused, and always FF.
Byte 6 (Split/Mode):
Byte 7 (Unused):
The function of this byte is unknown. It is evidently unused.
Bytes 8, 9, and A:
Bytes B, C, D, E, and F:
Unused bandplan table entries consist have the following format:
The US Bandplan Table is comprised of 95 entries. Some of them
are a bit odd, such as the one that straddles the broadcast AM
band. In the loader that comes with SCANCAT-GOLD, we have hand
tailored the individual differences to match closely the full
US plan, including the "T" bands in California and elsewhere.
Ironically, the entries for the US cellular telephone bands
are dead-on, right down to the step size, and would function correctly
were the block mechanism not present. The table below gives the
entry offset, the EEPROM address, the 16 byte entry, followed
by a semicolon and an annotation of the entry's contents.
It would be interesting to see this.
The following examples are taken from a previous post regarding
the UK AR8000's bandplan layout. NS means
"no split", while S means "split" (or perhaps,
+ or no +).

THE BELOW INFORMATION MAY ONLY APPLY TO AR-8000'S SOLD PRIOR
TO JUNE 1997 - THE NEW AR8000(B) CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RESTORED.
Scancat-Gold Software comes with a menu driven utility program to
upload a new EEPROM (bandplan) to the AR-8000. This program is capable
of restoring any blocked frequency segment. The AR-8000 Utility program
comes with a built in loader that will essentially enable full modification
of all or any part of the radio's EEPROM.
As you can see, this page is under construction,
and we depend upon your information and support.
Any and ALL feedback or information is welcome. We will format your
suggestions and feedback on AR8000 info to this page.
To help us with the job of including your "stuff" into our page,
please send your information in TEXT format (Please no HTML tags) to:
Cloning an AR8000 from another AR8000
It is also not the intention of this information to be used to
circumvent ECPA laws and regulations.
Since Scancat-Gold has a menu drive utility to
facilitate unlocking blocked areas of the AR-8000, it is
much easier to use the "pre-loaded" software than to try and
"roll your own".

As explained at the top of this document, is is not recommended that a
"lay person", unfamiliar with programming and/or serial communications,
attempt to "roll his own". Scancat-Gold's software utility makes it easy
(and error free), to modify your AR-8000's bandplan.
We acknowlege the above authors contributions, Bill Gates,
and Brian Foote, as well as B. Sinclair for his information on both the
US and UK Bandplans.
Please feel free to upload other AR-8000 information to us as
you see fit. We will credit your contribution in our next revision
of this page.
