AOR AR3030

The AR3030 features the legendary Collins filters, which it already has installed in the standard configuration. Its sound, the very low noise level and the nice and robust case in retro look are the advantages of this receiver.
Large signal behaviour unfortunately is not its strength. The AR3030 only copes with smaller antennas, a long wire antenna of 20m length was too much for it. Up to 10m wire is fine to work with, only in the evening hours the attenuator is necessary because the Rx overloads otherwise. Apart from this, for using this fine receiver it is recommended to use a preselector for tapping the full potential of the AR3030.
There also is the possibility to install a VHF converter, but this unit is very hard to find.
