AOR ARD9000 Digital Voice Modem

The AOR ARD 9000 HAS BEEN REPLACED
By the AOR ARD9000MK2 see it HERE!
Hearing is believing!

All over the world, hams have been discovering how much fun it is to work HF without background noise.

AOR set the pace in this breakthrough technology with its ARD9800. Top of the line!

Now, in response to worldwide demand, AOR has developed the ARD9000 which makes digital voice only communications even more affordable.

AOR's digital voice technology delivers audio quality you have to hear to believe. Whether you are working digital voice across state lines or across an ocean, amazing doesn't seem strong enough to describe it.

With an ARD9000, it's easy to convert existing HF analog transceivers to work digital voice with NO transceiver modifications. The ARD9000 automatically detects a digital signal and decodes it, so you also maintain full analog capabilities. Whether a contact comes in as digital or analog, the ARD9000 can handle it.

Discover the fun and excitement working Amateur Radio in digital voice mode 
using the ARD9000 and your EXISTING analogue transceiver on HF!

NEAR FM VOICE QUALITY!

IS IT LEGAL?

Yes, the ARD9000 employs an open published digital protocol (Charles Brain G4GUO) per FCC rules.
The transmit bandwidth is within the same spectrum as conventional SSB.

Enjoy digital voice communications while maintaining analogue capabilities
The ARD9000 makes digital voice communications FUN & affordable. Now you can use your existing analogue transceiver to work digital voice on Amateur Radio bands without making any modifications to your transceiver.

No transceiver modifications needed
The ARD9000 uses the same audio frequencies (300 Hz ~ 2500 Hz) as microphone audio to modulate the voice signal. This allows you to use an analogue radio as a digital voice radio.

Works on Single Side Band (SSB) mode
The Automatic frequency clarifier function adjusts frequency drift automatically in the SSB mode. (Approximately up to +/- 125 Hz). Utilizes the OFDM (Multi Carrier Modulation) circuit that is effective against Multi-path or Selective Fading.

Automatic digital receive
Automatic voice signal detector recognizes the received signal as analogue or digital, automatically switching to the appropriate mode.

Built-in high grade Vocoder (AMBE)
Utilizing high-grade digital voice compression delivers quality digital voice communications.

Built-in FEC error correction
A powerful error correction circuit delivers stable and reliable communications.

Small and compact unit. Easy to operate
Simply connect the ARD9000 between the microphone jack and microphone. No complicated modifications necessary. Optional interface cables for most popular transceivers are available or you can build your own connectors.

Wide range of operating voltages
Operates on 10 to 16 V DC from an external power source.

DSP
Utilizes a uniquely designed high performance DSP engine.

Uses established G4GUO open protocol
The use of open digital protocol means use of the ARD9000 is permitted on Amateur Radio bands (UK, USA, Japan and most countries are permitted)
