The 3030 isn't a bad receiver, but it has no preselector filter for the MW
band. Instead, the designers chose to use a 10dB attenuator in that
position, with no bandpass filter. I did install a filter section in my
unit, along with replacing all of the diodes in the front end, filter
switching, and AGC sections with HP 1N5711 PIN diodes. After all of these
mods, there was still a minor 2nd order product of WBBM 780 at 1560kHz. The
LW band was still laden with MW stations breaking through.
If you live out in the country, it isn't a bad receiver, but not in the
city, if you plan to do any MW dxing.
