Terry - how do you like that AOR receiver? Ugliest damn thing I've
ever seen!

Ugly as sin and like sin it is very addictive.
The nested menus are a PITA!
But the performance is fantastic.
Very good internal noise floor, very good audio, great filters.
The sync detector is funky, tends to unlock during slow deep
fades.
I am watching it for a friend who will be back in the USA sometime
after Christmas. As ugly and ungainly as it is I would sell my left
nu^H er something for one.
It is much better then the R2000. Slightly better then the R8B.
Under PC control the AOR is almost user friendly.
I just wish I had a real antenna up and that I wasn't operating from
the
kitchen table. Should have my radio room reassembled by next weekend.
