[Premium-Rx] AOR 7030+ Receiver

[Bjarne Mjelde]

I had one for five years, selling mine (with all bells & whistles) in  
2004.  It is an amazing receiver with excellent audio and a hearty front  
end, but for real dx one should consider to replace, or at least add to,  
the stock filters.  I had an Icom xtal filter and a Collins low-torsion  
mech filter in mine (+ a couple others).  It is a little insensitive, but  
it would probably not be a problem unless you live in an extremely quiet  
location RFI-wise.  If you can live with its somewhat convoluted user  
interface, it will give you a lot of pleasant listening.  Btw if you get  
used to using the remote control, it is quite user-friendly after all.

I sold mine because it was in fact a little too insensitive for me - but I  
live in an extremely quiet location and need all the gain I can get.
