i picked up an aor 7030 plus the other day and the only thing i
receive on it is hiss - i've tried all antenna inputs and i don't even
get crackling from the radio when i connect the antenna - all menus
and front controls are working fine - am i missing something? - this
is a pretty deep radio regarding menus - is there a mute or control
buried in this menu set that maybe i'm missing - i've done multiple
resets which defaults the radio back to the factory settings - still
no stations. this is a great radio - built like a rock and i like the
feel of it - now if i can only get it to hear - hey pete are you
hearing me?? any help is greatly appreciated - thanks in advance and
happy holidays.

There is an antenna switch on the back, selecting between the whip,
wire, and 50 ohms input. Start there.

bad switch maybe? i am aware of the switch and have been toggling it
everytime i switch antennas - its as if there is no signal getting to
the radio - when i tune across the am band or anyband there is no
change in audio level - just a steady hissing.
