The tape recorder configurable outputs and slave relay may be
programmed to operate from the built-in clock timer or from the
squelch control. Mute input is available for use with transmitters.
The AR7030 features a stylish custom CNC machined solid
aluminium front panel with extruded aluminium shaped sides, metal
top, bottom & rear panels. The front panel finish is brushed
& anodised with the sides and other surfaces toned in a matching
textured paint. Smooth lines, detailed front panel, domed top
mounted speaker grille and ergonomically placed controls spell out
the attention to detail of the robust cabinet. An internal battery
option adds the possibility of transportable operation.
An infrared remote controller is supplied as standard along with a
low noise power supply and comprehensively illustrated operating
manual.
AR7030
PLUS:
For those who want the ‘edge’
then this model has been designed for you.
All aspects of performance have been carefully
studied and specific performance enhancements have been applied
making
excellent
into the
ultimate
:-
ü Increased balance of the mixer for greatest IP2 & IP3
ü High tolerance 0.1% components in DDS ladder for
low noise
ü Enhanced RF attenuator operation for minimal intermod
ü Higher spec wire aerial input transformer for minimal
mixing products
ü Ceramic metal cased 4 kHz (displayed) AM filter fitted
as standard (typical bandwidths: 2.2kHz, 4.0 kHz,
5.3kHz 9.5kHz)
ü Bourns optical encoder for the smoothest DX tuning
ü Features CPU fitted, 400 memories, multi timers
& alpha tag
The
NB7030
multi-option is
not fitted as standard
to the
AR7030 PLUS
, just the ‘features’ CPU is fitted. Should you wish to
add the hardware noise blanker and audio notch filter,
order the
UPNB7030
. The
AR7030 ‘PLUS’
is the best of the best!
Enhancement continues in production, the latest production
features alternative click encoders which provide a smoother and
more consistent quality feel and a new-style liquid
crystal display with higher contrast and a wider viewing
angle. The AR7030 has established itself as the popular
performance trendsetting short wave receiver representing the new
‘bench mark’ in excellence and sheer performance.

What do the reviewers have to say?
Larry Magne - Monitoring Times & Radio Japan
“...arguably the best receiver on the market, regardless of price...”
“... Dynamic range is excellent at both 5 & 20 kHz separation...”
“... overall audio distortion is good-to-excellent...”
Passport to World Band Radio 1997 (nearly 5 pages of review!)
"Dynamic range is breathtaking at spacings of 5kHz and 20kHz, with respective third-
order intercept points being +1dB and +30dB. Indeed, it is so outstanding that our
laboratory manager had to visit with Hewlett-Packard's signal generator maven and
upgrade certain of our testing gear in order for us to be able to accurately measure
performance of this calibre. ...What these measurements showed is that the '7030's
dynamic range and third-order intercept points are at levels normally associated only
with the finest in professional hardware. Yet, the '7030 does this at a fraction of the
price."
Awarded five stars and Editor's choice.
World Radio & TV Handbook 1999
“The AR7030 PLUS is a totally state of the art HF receiver, whose specification puts
that of almost everything else on the market to shame. If our sample is typical - and
there is no reason to suppose it was not - some aspects of its performance almost
certainly exceed the ability of the average test laboratory to measure and establish
them. So much about this receiver is utterly right. ...sheer performance allied to
extreme versatility and excellent build quality, the AOR 7030 PLUS remains one of
the world's most desirable receivers. A word of praise is also in order for the truly
excellent manual..."
Awarded five stars and table-top receiver of the year 1996/97.
RadCom (RSGB) - The Peter Hart Review
“The strong signal performance is extremely good. The intermodulation
measurements are at the limit of my measurement capability and the close-in result
by far the best I have measured on any general coverage receiver. ...The excellent
RF performance of the AR7030 is certainly most apparent in on-air tests."
Jonathan Marks - Radio Netherlands
“Of the synthesizer... this is an extremely low sideband noise design...” “We think
that the phase noise of the AR7030 DDS is excellent, and much better than
comparable priced and even much higher priced receivers...”
