Hi all,

I was wondering how the AOR AR-3000A preforms on VHF and UHF airband. I
have the chance of getting a cheap one and want to know how they perform.

It's been a few years since I had a 3000A,,, but it worked fine for me

I have a 3000 [no suffix] and although airband isn't my thing, if the price is
right I'd go for it! Good, if not outstanding, receive performance + easy (?)
to interface with a PC. Bit long in the tooth but still a fine bit of kit.

It's a sod when the lithium battery dies though :-(

You can't just replace the battery? I thought the battery only held the
memory?

Replacing the battery is a time consuming although not difficult task. The
first time took me 3 hours, the second about 30 mins. Still a PITA though :-(

The of course you have to reprogramme the search/scan bands - easy via a PC but
a bit of a grind if you have to do it via the front panel.
