Love at first sight			Time owned: more than 12 months
I wanted a small portable table model communications scanner receiver, that was able to receive CW. The AOR-3000A, is perfect for what I wanted it for. I have a Icom IC-PCR1500, that I really like but it has to be hooked up to my computer to use it. Hey thats how it was supposed to work! I wanted a stand alone receiver that covered all the ham bands and aviation. I also listen to foreign broadcast, and it works great. I operate CW for the most part but I listen more then I operate so I did not want to tie up my transceivers just for SWL. I found just what I wanted in the AOR-3000A, tuned to my Carolina Windom dipole, it will pick up everything that my Icom and Yaesu rigs do, and it is small and portable, and with the original wip antenna attached it works fine in the backyard, pic nic bench or anywhere 12VDC is available. I have a Yaesu VR-500 that can't hold a candle to it. I use it too with my qrp in a box station, and it has never let me down, it is just a super little radio, that when used right, will not disapoint you. Sure the front face and modes are hard to see but it is very small, and crams a lot of info in a very small space, use good light and glasses if you need them and it is very user friendly, it will never leave my shack until it is pried from my SK hands.
