09-12-2023 On September 10, the “Journée des Associations” took place in Provins, spearheaded by the French radio-club F6KOP.
Attendees witnessed captivating live TX/RX tests utilizing the QO-100 Es'hail 2 satellite. Beyond its primary functions, such as direct TV broadcasting and distribution of governmental and commercial content, Es'hail 2 offers a linear transponder for amateur radio services. This encompasses low-power narrow bandwidth voice, Morse, and digital communications.
Fred from PROSIC, our esteemed French distributor and a long-time supporter of the radio-club, showcased the AR-DV10 receiver. With remarkable ease, he received and decoded the amateur radio downlink from Es'hail 2 using a off the shelf ASTRA-type satellite dish.

In line between the antenna and the receiver are a Bias-Tee to power the LNB, and an attenuator for optimal signal level.
08-09-2023 [FR] Comme tous les ans, le salon radioamateur de Marennes (Charente Maritime – France) est l'occasion estivale pour les aficionados de la radio de se retrouver au cœur du pays de l'Huître.
En ce jour du 29 juillet 2023, la présence de notre représentant français PRO-SIC a été particulièrement remarquée, tout comme l'exposition sur leur stand de notre très fameux AR-DV10.
PRO-SIC est le sponsor et partenaire historique du radio-club F6KOP.
Le dirigeant de PRO-SIC a déclaré être agréablement surpris de l'accueil qui lui a été réservé par les organisateurs du salon.

05-25-2023 Kudos to the AOR distributor in France, PROSIC, for his honorable initiatives for the blind and visually impaired radio amateurs. Last April, members of PROSIC, UNARAF (National Union of the Blind Radio-Amateurs of France) and F6KOP (French radio club) have been honored guests of an event organised in Abidjan, capital of the Ivory Coast, for the benefits of INIPA the National Ivorian Institute for the Advancement of the Blind.
PROSIC and UNARAF have already cooperated in the past for the creation of DV1-UNARAF, a control software for the AR-DV1 receiver, dedicated to the blind and visually impaired.

Below are some photos of that INIPA event in Abidjan:

03-02-2023 Hints on how to decode various digital modes in HF:

AOR already offers unique and very powerful solutions for the PC-less decoding of all the major digital modes present in the VHF and UHF bands (TETRA, DMR, NXDN, D-STAR, dPMR, APCO 25, YAESU, ALINCO, D-CR).
Those solutions are:
-The AR5700D, AR-DV1 and AR-DV10 receivers
-The AR2300, AR5001D and AR6000 receivers with the optional ARD300 Multi-digital modes decoder (except TETRA).

Did you know that with the help of a PC and 3rd party software, you can also decode plenty of other digital modes in the HF bands (below 30MHz)? You have probably heard of RTTY, PSK31, FSK, SITOR-B, STANAG, SSTV etc. For your convenience, we have selected a couple of popular decoding software solutions for Windows, which are still well maintained and affordable for the casual radio listener.

Please note:
-The LINE-OUT audio of your receiver needs to be connected to your PC sound card's LINE-IN. MIC-IN is unlikely to work well.
-The receiver's speaker output, headphones output and discriminator audio output cannot be used for this task.
-AR-DV1 and AR-DV10 cannot be used as they do not feature any LINE-OUT.

The user manual addendum for AR-DV10 has been updated with instructions on how to purchase, activate and use the COSPAS-SARSAT distress beacon decoder function.
This is a revolutionary optional feature which does empower your AR-DV10 to receive the distress signals of COSPAS-SARSAT (PLB, EPIRB, ELT) distress beacons! Such beacons are activated by persons, aircrafts or vessels in distress. AR-DV10 is the world’s first hand-held radio receiver to feature this unique function. It allows the AR-DV10 users to receive both the beacon’s analog 121.5MHz homing signal, as well as the digital 406MHz signal which indicates the GPS location and ID content of the beacon owner. The AR-DV10 will display and log, LAT / LONG coordinates, RAW code, 15 hex ID and beacon code.

03-04-2020 CAUTION REGARDING FAKE NEWS!

AOR Ltd. would like to raise your attention regarding an alarming increase of fake news regarding its products, circulating on radio related forums, social media groups such as on Facebook, and on fake AOR websites.
The most recent fake news claims that a new AR-DV10 "MK2" version would be released this year. That is totally false.
As a general rule and for the sake of common sense, we ask our dearest and honest customers never to trust rumours circulating on Internet. The only sources of information to be trusted regarding AOR products are www.aorja.com, www.aorusa.com and the websites of our network of official AOR dealers as listed on http://www.aorja.com/aboutus/dealers.php and http://www.aorusa.com/aboutus/dealers.html .

It's our new high-performance analog & digital communications receiver for commercial and governmental applications. Check the brochure to discover what specifications and features have been improved, compared to the entry-level AR-DV1 receiver. *here*
01-16-2020 Decode digital signals from space!

Did you know that our AR-DV1, AR-DV10, AR5700D receivers, or the ARD300 external decoder, can allow you to decode D-STAR repeater voice signals directly received from a amateur radio satellite downlink?

The following array of Cubesat satellites has been operational for a year or two:

D-STAR ONE iSat (Norad ID: 43879)
D-STAR ONE Sparrow (43881)
D-STAR ONE Lightsat (44393)
D-SATR ONE Exoconnect (44410)

They all use the same (voice) downlink frequency 435.525 MHz transmitted at 0.8-1.2W..

Real-time tracking information available at www.n2yo.com will allow you to find out when those D-STAR satellites will cross your skies. With that information and providing you have a tracking antenna, our receivers can bring you a new and unique experience.

The official D-STAR ONE project website: www.d-star.one

Have fun!

09-05-2019 HAMFAIR 2019 report:
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who came to visit the AOR booth on August 31 and September 1, at the HAMFAIR exhibition in Tokyo.
AR-DV1 and AR-DV10 being now the number 1 selling digital receivers in Japan, this year we put the emphasis on AIRBAND & AIRPORT listening, under the topic "Make monitoring exciting again!".
As a matter of fact, TETRA's traffic channel decoding feature introduction on our AR-DV1 and AR-DV10 receivers, have caused quite a stir in the Japanese monitoring community, as never before it has been possible to listen to airport staff communications where Trunked TETRA is used. The airband enthusiasts can now not only listen to communications between aircrafts and the control tower in AM, but also to the exciting things happening inside the airport buildings and on the runway, via the TETRA mode!
As a local airport was only a couple of km away from the exhibition hall, visitors had the surprise to be able to listen to "live" T-TC signals at our booth, originating from that airport, just by using a telescopic antenna.
