I talked to John earlier tonight. The problem with his receiver turned out
to be a bad Ni-Cad backup battery. After he removed the battery and cleaned
up the chemical leakage. The receiver came to life after doing a default
reset.
Good work, John!

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.

I suppose those of us with early models will eventually have this
problem. If you can write something up on what to fix, I'd appreciate
it.
