In my opinion, the AR7030 Plus, properly fitted out, is definitely one

the best I have ever owned.

Thanks Joe and all you other for your replies. I kinda settled on the AOR
(mostly for the lower price). Your replies have confirmed that this would
be the wiser.

There is, however, another option which no one so far has mentioned
here (and it applies to the JRC NRD-545 as well): there is a FREE
computer-control program called "RxWINGS" which allows you to control
the receiver via your computer.

I'm a bit suspicious to have a noise-source like a table-top PC powered
on while DX-ing. Do you have a LCD-screen or a lap-top?

P.S. Don't forget the antenna. In order to derive maximum performance
and pleasure, both of these receivers require the finest antenna you
can get.

I already have a (IMHO) top-notch antenna; the ARA-60 by Dressler. Since
I don't have the space to erect a long-wire etc., this active antenna is
the
substitute. Very sensitive on MW.
