Any ideas Folks!!!!!!!

Just as an afterthought. I have this AOR 8000 that came to me used from Shepton Mallet, it is full and I mean every bank is full. I have no use for any of the frequencies and would like to delete them but doing it one at a time is quite laborious and I know there is a way to do it but for the life of me I cannot remember how. I have been and downloaded the Manual but after 2 hours of reading it last night I cannot see where (if it does) say how to 'Factory Reset' the radio. Any ideas folks?
Secondly, I have searched and searched for a CU-8232 cloning cable. I think that is the one I need anyone know where I can get one? I used to use a guy called Tony in Derby for repairs to all AOR scanners, I still got his phone number but I think it may have been re-issued by BT but he is long gone and the old AOR website links me to Waters & Stanton and they are as useful as a chocolate teapot. So any info would be appreciated.

This is what I found in the Manual online:

8-10 Deleting complete memory banks
It is often convenient to delete a whole memory bank in one operation. While
this may be accomplished by deleting each and every memory channel
individually as per section 8-9 of this manual, a faster method is available
especially if you have previously stored data into all 50 memory channels.
First place the receiver into the 2VFO operating mode
by pressing [2VFO].
Access the main “SELECT-DEL” by keying [FUNC]
[9]. Use the UP/DOWN or [DIAL] until the cursor is
to the left of the “MEMO-DATA” option then press
[ENT].
AR8000 operating manual
57
The top line of the LCD will display “MEMO-DATA” the second line will display
“DELETE” and the fourth line will display “BANK SET” to ensure that you are
aware of the sub menu selected so that accidental memory bank deletion is not
possible.
The cursor will be positioned over the memory bank identifier (LETTER) to the
right of the legend “BANK”. Use the [DIAL] or keypad to select the memory
channel which you would like to DELETE.
Once you have chosen the desired memory bank to be DELETED press [ENT]
and the receiver will return to 2VFO mode.
All 50 memory channels of the chosen memory bank will be deleted and
cannot be restored.
For example, let’s assume that you wish to delete the memory contents of
memory bank “F” (F00 to F49).
First place the receiver into the 2VFO operating mode by pressing [2VFO].
Access the main “SELECT-DEL” by keying [FUNC] [9]. Use the UP/DOWN or
[DIAL] until the cursor is to the left of the “MEMO-DATA” option then press
[ENT].
The top line of the LCD will display “MEMO-DATA” the second line will display
“DELETE” and the fourth line will display “BANK SET”.
The cursor will be positioned over the memory bank identifier (LETTER) to the
right of the legend “BANK”. Use the [DIAL] or keypad to select memory bank
“F” to be deleted.
Press [ENT] to delete memory bank “F”. The receiver will return to 2VFO
mode.

No sure if it helps
