The stereo AM part, that is used for ... AM sync ??
Yes.
I'm actually kinda interested in the AOR 7070. Waiting to see what it
looks like as I never cared for that funny looking panel on the 7030.

I must admit, I was hesitant, as well. But it proved itself as a
performance radio within minutes of coming out of the box. You get
used to the panel real quick. The O/S becomes second nature after a
few operations. And you kind of forget it's not a traditiona design
when you start DXing things the ICOM's can't hear.

I use my 7030 as much as the Drake.

I used the remote to control the AR7030 most of the time. I missed using
this radio for almost a year before I managed to find a display
replacement.


I'm with Telemon on this. I also use the remote. it's a great receiver.

is it better than the Drake? some say yes, some so no. i use both. the

AOR is a bit quieter than the Drakes. the Drake is a bit more sensitive.

at least to my ears. the 7030, with a good out-board speaker, has the

best sound of all my desk-tops. and, like a bunch of others, i'm looking

forward to the 7070.
