Performance Highlights

Computer-Controlled Flexibility

The AR2300 is a fully computer-controlled receiver that works with any PC running Windows XP, Vista, or 7. Through the optional LAN controller, users can remotely manage all functions—making it ideal for field operations or centralized monitoring systems.

Ultra-Wide Frequency Range

Covers a continuous range from 40kHz to 3.15GHz in 1Hz steps, with frequency stability of ±1ppm (or ±0.01ppm when using an optional GPS receiver).

Advanced Multi-Mode Reception

Utilizes high-performance digital signal processing (DSP) for a wide range of modes:
USB, LSB, CW, AM, SAM, FM, Wide FM, FM Stereo, and optional APCO P-25 digital decoding.
It also supports CTCSS, DCS, and DTMF tone decoding.

High-Performance RF Front-End

Precision-engineered RF design ensures consistent performance across all bands, providing strong selectivity, low noise, and high intermodulation resistance.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

Independent IF signal processing ensures crystal-clear demodulation, improved accuracy, and consistent signal levels without analog AGC distortion.

Direct Sampling Architecture (40kHz–25MHz)

Employs a 14-bit/65Ms/s direct sampling system for low-frequency bands, ensuring superior IMD and IP3 characteristics.

Simultaneous Reception

Capable of receiving multiple bands simultaneously: one HF (below 25MHz) and one VHF/UHF (above 25MHz), allowing triple-channel monitoring.

Video & Audio Capabilities

Features analog video demodulation for wireless camera signal monitoring and an SD audio recorder for up to 240 hours of continuous WAV-format recording (with a 32GB SDHC card).

Wideband IF Output

Includes a 45.05MHz IF output with 15MHz bandwidth for external signal processing, making the AR2300 ideal as a high-performance receiver front-end.
