Let the receiver create the card structure and original memory backup.
The safe reference is a memory-channel file written by your own receiver. Copy that original to the computer first, then place the supplied model-specific memch.csv in the same receiver-created location only after its model and contents have been reviewed.
Important: A memory-channel restore can replace the receiver's programmed memories. Keep the original card copy away from the working file, and stop if AR DATA EDITOR identifies the wrong receiver model.
Back up, inspect and load the model-specific memory file.
- 1
Create a receiver backup
Use the AR-DV1 or AR-DV10 SD-card memory backup function so the card contains a known-good memch.csv and the directory structure expected by that receiver.
- 2
Copy the original away from the card
With the receiver powered down, move the card to the reader and copy the original memch.csv and its surrounding backup folder to a dated computer folder. Do not edit that copy.
- 3
Open the supplied file in AR DATA EDITOR
Choose Open in AOR's editor and select the ScanLocal memch.csv. The editor processes the file in the browser; avoid refreshing or using Back while reviewing unsaved work.
- 4
Confirm the receiver model
Check that the file is identified for the same AR-DV1 or AR-DV10 model you own. Although both filenames are identical, their model headers are not interchangeable.
- 5
Review banks, titles, modes and STEP
Inspect several local, airband and digital-discovery entries. ScanLocal uses practical receiver-supported tuning steps informed by the source channel width and the official UK service plan; AOR AUTO remains in use for digital, mode-not-stated, data/other and AM airband entries where appropriate.
- 6
Prepare a working card copy
On the SD card, preserve or rename the receiver-created file, then place the supplied memch.csv in the exact location created by the receiver. Keep the original computer backup untouched.
- 7
Load only the memory channels
Return the card to the powered-off receiver, start it and use its SD-card memory-channel restore or load function. Follow the model's current manual and do not choose an unrelated full-system restore.
- 8
Scan and refine
Browse several banks and frequencies after loading. Adjust AUTO, bandwidth, squelch or other receive settings when real listening evidence shows that a channel needs a different configuration.
Confirm the model header, bank layout and restored memories.
AR DATA EDITOR identifies the supplied file for the same AR-DV1 or AR-DV10 shown on the receiver.
The receiver can browse the expected named channels across only the populated part of banks 00 to 39 without reporting a corrupt memory file.
A dated copy of the original receiver-created memch.csv still exists off the working SD card and can be restored if needed.
Restore your backup: Power down, return the original receiver-created memch.csv to the same SD-card location and use the model's memory-channel restore function. Do not convert or resave the rollback copy first.
If AR DATA EDITOR or the receiver rejects memch.csv.
Wrong receiver model
Stop and download the file attached to the order for the exact AR-DV1 or AR-DV10 option. Renaming the file does not change its model-specific header.
The editor loses changes
AR DATA EDITOR works in the browser and warns that refresh or Back can clear unsaved edits. Reopen the supplied file and save a fresh working copy.
The receiver cannot find the file
Use the folder and exact filename created by a receiver backup. Confirm the card was returned while the receiver was powered off and consult the current model manual for its restore menu.
AUTO does not decode the signal
AUTO is a discovery setting, not proof of protocol, colour code, slot or access parameters. The channel may be inactive or may need manual receive-mode refinement.
A complete 2,000-slot AOR memory structure with model-specific headers.
ScanLocal writes the native memory-channel structure expected by the selected receiver: 40 banks of 50 slots, with up to the nearest 2,000 compatible results and cleaned 12-character titles.
Occupied channels no longer inherit AOR AR DATA EDITOR's 20 kHz blank-memory default. The file writes a service-aware STEP of 6.25, 8.33, 10, 12.5, 25 or 50 kHz as supported by the receiver; unused slots keep the editor's harmless default.
The 2,000-channel hardware/file capacity is explicit. In a dense area, later supplemental groups may not fit after nearer local candidates, and AUTO remains a listening aid rather than confirmed digital-system programming.

Questions
Can I use the same memch.csv in both receivers?
No. The shared filename hides a model-specific header and format version. Use the file generated for the exact AR-DV1 or AR-DV10 selected at checkout.
Does loading memch.csv keep my existing memories?
Treat it as a whole memory-channel restore that can replace current memories. Create and preserve the receiver's own backup first.
Why are some entries set to AOR AUTO?
Digital discovery, mode-not-stated, data/other and AM airband rows use the receiver's flexible AUTO handling so they are not falsely labelled with a confirmed protocol that the public source does not provide.
Why is STEP not always 12.5 kHz?
UK services use different tuning plans. ScanLocal keeps Ofcom's channel width as source context but writes a practical step supported by the receiver; published service plans cover examples such as 6.25 kHz digital PMR446, 8.33 kHz civil air, 10 kHz CB and 25 kHz marine channels.
What if more than 2,000 compatible results are found?
The AOR memory format holds 2,000 channels. ScanLocal includes the first 2,000 after prioritising nearby local candidates, so the site does not claim that every source row fits.
When were the AOR references checked?
The AOR editor, software and manual links were checked 11 August 2026.
