AOR 5000 TV-offset remote 

Version 1.04 Improved on 5/9/2002. 
Freeware only for private use. Otherwise contact me.

It sets the frequency easily on sound- or vision frequencies of TV channels and their offsets, so you don't have to calculate that much anymore when you go wave-hunting. If you want channel E2 and offset 2 it automatically sets it to 48252.6 kHz.

The RS232 must be connected with COM1.

Mode control works with the F-keys, switch through channels and offsets with the arrow keys. 

Keys 1..6 control bandwidth. 

System can be set with the specific letters (E=European, U=UK/Ireland, R=Russia and Eastern Europe, I=Italy, Q=EuroCable, F=France). Switch between audio and video frequencies with 's'. 

When it starts, USB mode is set. This works best with 3k filters (if you don't have a 500Hz filter). This is why a finetune RIT is set to -800Hz. I also included an AutoRIT function because the frequencies on my AOR AR5000 are not exact. 
AutoRIT adjusts them (specifically for my receiver). If you want to adjust AutoRIT for your receiver look out for the Source Code in Turbo Pascal 6.0. (AOR.PAS)

To initialise: Set the baud rate on your AR5000 to 19200. 
Important: set the processor rate with 't'. Otherwise the commands would reach the receiver too fast or too slow. Try higher rates if it doens't work.

If the commands don't reach the receiver you need to make the software know what the procesoor rate is. You can change it with 'p'. This is necessary because delays have different effects depending on the computer speed. These delays are essential when sending commands via the com-port.

If it still doesn't work try to send some characters with a terminal programme first. Settings must be: 19200 Bps, No Parity, 8 Bit, 2 Stop Bits, COM1. After that it usually works.
