Why would you want a radio that you have to ask "Can you work a
VCR or a DVD burner"???

I run an old simple Grundig that I just put the frig in and that's it!!

Dear Sir,

It was not necessary at all to ask about using a VCR or DVD Burner - I
was merely mentioning an example to show just how simple the AR7030
Plus actually is to operate. The menu operating parameters, which have
been explained in detail in this thread along with their simplicity in
everyday usage, allow performance equal to a professional receiver to
be incorporated into a radio that is within the financial reach of
many shortwave hobbyists. I too still own older analog-operated
shortwave receivers and I trot them out once in a while for old time's
sake but I certainly would not want to use one of these for DXing,
what with all the newer advanced radios available!

Best,

Joe
