Any of you guys have AOR-8000's?
I have 2 still. Great radios. One is translucent blue. It guess it must be pretty rare.
Anyway I have plenty of scanners but I still use my big old 8000 all the time. These were just about the first radios with any kind of real computer interface. It worked for control and programming, as well as modifying the band plan which allowed these radios to hear the cellular freq. It was easy you just had to alter a file that lived in the radio that told it the radios band-Plan.
It just occurred to me again, what a wonderful feature that is. Today we leave it to the manufactures to set the band plan in our scanners. We have no choice. We have to trust them.
Anyway i just wanted to get an AOR-8000 thread going.
