Have a look at what the reviewers found with the AR7030. Comments from customers back them up too, just ask around!
"JT has wiped the
slate clean on receivers as we know them and has rendered
virtually everything else obsolete"
"...the appearance is stunning, the finish on every part is
of the highest standard..."
"If you can't get sensible audio out of even a rotten signal
with the AR7030 then nothing will do it"
"...there is a very good synchronous a.m. system which has
the unique feature of being auto tuned"
"...I was simply amazed when I came to explore the i.f.
filtering arrangements..."
"...rather stylish and
extremely well-made cabinet"
"...I immediately thought how 'clean' the signals
sounded"
"Regarding the RF performance of the set, my measured
results say it all. If you're not technically minded just read
these as superb. The blocking performance was so good that I found it
was simply noise limited by the signal source..."
"All bandwidths have
excellent shape factors. Image rejection is superb, as is IF
rejection. Blocking and phase noise measurements are both
excellent. Dynamic range is excellent at both 5 and 20 kHz
separation points, and third order intercept measurements at 5
and 20kHz separation points are superb"
"...arguably the best receiver on the market, regardless of
price..."
"...overall audio distortion is good-to-excellent... it
becomes excellent-to-superb when the synchronous detector is
used, and in the SSB mode is nearly nil"
"Is it an excellent DX machine? Yes!"
"Is it an excellent receiver for SWL's? Yes!"
"Can it be used with an indoor loop? Yes!"
"...the audio is superb"
"It is smart, black,
well finished and inviting"
"The first thing that impressed me about this receiver is
its quietness"
"The AR7030 gives the illusion that it is able to trap any
signal that hits the antenna and demodulate it almost at FM
quality"
"Synchronous AM? Well it is one of the best I have come
across. The receiver locks on and seems to hold even the weakest
AM signals"
"Clear advantage to
AOR thanks to its perfect synchro detector"
"AOR wins thanks to its fine AGC"
"AOR wins thanks to its considerably calmer background"
"Corners are rounded,
there is a minimum of control knobs and the metal cabinet is
beautifully engineered"
"Of the synthesiser... this is an extremely low sideband
noise design..."
"We think that the phase noise of the AR7030 DDS is excellent, and much better than
comparable priced and even much higher priced receivers. ...The
measured phase noise values are exactly what is specified"
"The excellent RF performance of the AR7030 is
certainly most apparent in on-air tests. The receiver gives very
clean results under all conditions and there is no sign of
overload in demanding strong signal situations".
"The intermodulation measurements are at the limit of my
measurement capability and the close-in result by far the best I
have ever measured on any general coverage receiver".
"I was particularly impressed with the VLF
performance".
"The AGC characteristic is ideal and I really cannot fault
any of the functions of the radio".
"It is really packed with features and has a superb
technical performance".
