Hello everyone,
I have a choice before me. Which of the two receivers listed above will
provide the best performance? Cost is of no importance and I am not
worried about size or the ergonomics of them. I am fairly intelligent
and can master buttons etc. I aim to hunt for tough DX MW signals.
Ideas, opinions?
Thanks,
Alan

I have no personal experience with the 545 - but a concern I've heard
from many is the audio quality of JRCs in general just isn't very good.

The stock filters that come with the AOR aren't impressive to me - they
seemed to be too wide or too narrow. But they're 455khz filters, so
it's easy to find better replacements.

The 7030+ is the quietest consumer radio I've ever had. It has plenty
of dynamic range. It's also reasonably practical to run it on NIMH
batteries.
