I have an AOR 5000A3 and have been running it on a 10 MHz standard for a couple of years inputting a 5v p-p sinewave without trouble. It seems to function OK down to 0.5v p-p.

But note, the 10 MHz external only drives the main synthesizer; the BFO and sideband selection oscs are free-running so not controlled. The audio tone produced in CW or SSB modes is

therefore not all that stable. AOR used to do a fully controlled phase-coherent version but withdrew it for some reason.

Hi all

The AOR AR5000A receiver is fitted with a 10 MHz ref. input allowing to lock the VFOs on an external high stability frequency source. The user's manual doesn't give any details on the shape (square ? sine ?) and the amplitude of the 10MHz ref. signal to be used.

Anyone there having any details ?

Thanks
