I'll be sure to report back my findings.

Since posting this I've started to wonder if I really need a radio of the 7030 caliber. Thoughts on that? Am i going to find a substantial difference between something like the Grundig sat.750 and the AOR7030? Or even the little g5 portable? Seems like between this I might start to focus more on speaker quality as the reports are that they are all great radios? I'd love to hear what you all think about that idea.
