AOR8600 MK2 scan issue

[pilot_ngb]

Hello

My AOR8600 MK2 no longer scans a band. When I press the scan button. the NFM syntax on the display is highlighted with a bold background.

It was working fine up until this week when I was trying to use Butel software to backup my bands. I am thinking of a soft reset but I am having some issues getting the bands saved with the Butel software.

Any ideas on why I can't scan? I can step through the freq's in each band no problem. Just can't scan.

Don't know-think you would be best to reset and start over. I own several AOR products and have found that the 8200 will work best with data only when the batteries are 100% or use the DC adapter. Aside from the learning curve (which is not too bad) I have enjoyed using Butel with my AOR's and Icom R3.

Good luck and I would be interested in learning how you resolved this.

Thanks for replying. I did end up doing a soft reset of the processor. This resolved the issue. I have no idea

Another question for you - Any idea on how to get the preset bands (marine, vhf, pmr etc) back onto the radio? I lost them a couple of years ago.

Ouch!!! I never realized those could be erased, thought it was permanently written. Let me look into this....I have several AOR's and aside from some quirks, they are slick radios. Been with AOR ever since they put out their first model. You a flier??

I thought it might be possible for someone to send me the band files and then I use the Butel software to upload back? Else I need to set them up manually with the Butel.

Yes I am a flier, well trying to be. Working on my PPL at the moment.

Thanks for your help. I am happy with the AOR. Just need to get my bands back on there!
