I'm using a Wellbrook 330S antenna and I don't think it's suffering
from any problems. I use it with my other receivers and they seem to
function well with it. Occasionally there's overload on the HF-150, but
it's always pretty minor, not like what I'm experiencing with the 7030.
This makes me suspect the problem isn't with the antenna. I can even
connect my SW77 to this antenna without getting the kind of overload
I'm finding on the 7030.


OK, it is not likely that this type of antenna would have the problems I
mentioned and the fact that another receiver you own does not seem to
suffer the same problem points away from the antenna being the problem.

As Pete has mentioned the 7030 has front end filtering but depending on
its age those front end filters could have a problem with the elements
they are made of and at one point were "upgraded" by AOR. The inductors
on some early units had inductors that would saturate and I don't recall
what the problem was with the capacitors but both were changed. Maybe
you have the inferior inductors and capacitors in the front end filters.

Pete already gave the link to the bulletin page but specifically I point
you to this
