[Premium-Rx] Re Consultation of Ulysses Galletti PY2UAJ

I'll add few more points.  I find it helpful to install a very narrow filter, like 500 kHz.  It helps the synchronous AM find lock on very weak signals; then you can move to a wider filter and actually hear some audio.  Also, as to the cabinet screws, you have to be careful not to over-tighten the 4 screws that hold the top in place, because the threads are easily stripped.  Finally, there are some of these receivers where the +10 db preamp doesn't work.  I have two of those, both in the serial number range of 1023XX.  But overall, I agree with Dan -- it's a wonderful receiver.

The 7030 is/was, in the view of many, one of the top receivers of all
time.   I have
five of them -- all with firmware from 16B and above.   Some people said
the Lowe
HF-250 exceeded the 7030 in performance -- I disagree, as the 7030 has
all kinds of
wonderful tools, including auto-notch, PBT, and excellent stability.
All five of my receivers
had their audio circuits modified by a specialist (Big Sky Audio) -- who
may not be doing
that work anymore at this point.   Some points -- you need to pay
attention to the internal
batteries, and replace if necessary.  You have to be careful how you
remove the cabinet
screws -- the top and sides of a 7030 need to be removed in a certain
order or you wisk
messing things up.  Some serial numbers have dimmer backlights on the
LCD display --
receivers above serial number 102 and 103 are preferable.
