I wouldn't touch a NRD545D - my top DXing pals all sold them off after
finding their filters were inadequate and their IP3 didn't keep out the
close in interference.

The AOR7030+ has the best specs of any receiver but not everyone can handle
it's impossible ergonomics - I'm one of them and found I just couldn't
handle the difficult operating system - others swear by it though once they
get used to it.

IMHO you could do no better than a used Drake R8B from eBay - a superb radio
with great ergonomics.

I'm in the business of buying a new receiver and have settled on
two options;

The AOR AR-7030Plus or the Japan Radio NRD-545.
Which one would have the highest dynamic range (IP3) and
sensitivity? Is the AR-7030 receiver so clumsy to operate as
many have stated?
