I played with it for a while and then got bored. But the reason for the boredom was because I couldn&#8217;t figure out how to programme banks of frequencies into it, and make it scan those banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be fair to the scanner, I felt it was a decent receiver. I could punch in a particular frequency and the Trident TR-1200 did the receiving job very well. I just couldn&#8217;t make it scan. And no, hitting the &#8216;scan&#8217; button doesn&#8217;t turn it into a scanner, there&#8217;s more to it than that. So I hunted around for a bit but I couldn&#8217;t find any decent, easy-to-understand, idiot-proof manuals for it. I put it in my &#8216;useful&#8217; drawer and left it there to gather dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then, a few days ago, I was chuntering around some FB group or other when someone asked if anyone had a Trident TR-1200 manual. Well no, nobody did. I could have told them that. But then a helpful person popped up and said the AOR AR-2000 was the same piece of kit (just rebadged). And the manual for the AOR AR-2000 is freely available to download.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I have. I have a .pdf copy of the AOR AR-2000 manual which I&#8217;m going to study, and see if I can make this thing do what it&#8217;s supposed to. To be really useful it will need a decent antenna, but the first order of business is to make it scan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231006_113801-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231006_113801-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231006_113801-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/brennigjones.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231006_113801.jpg 867w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have blown the dust off my Trident TR-1200 scanner.
