Скачать или смотреть R. Santa Cruz from Bolivia 6134.8kHz 2311UTC - AOR AR7030

Thanks to the EIBI guide which details the offset, I believe this is R. Santa Cruz.

I've just spent a couple of evenings repairing my AR7030 after the backup battery failed and crashed the set so it's a pleasure to catch some South American DX. It sounds fantastic on the JBL speaker too.


 When this set was launched back in 1996 it got all the rave reviews in the DX press. This is a low serial number set that started life as a standard 7030 and I bought it pre-owned from a dealer in 2000. It had a couple of trips back to AOR in Derbyshire to get the PLUS upgrade done and also some extra filters for a long-term propagation monitoring experiment that I participated in. It's also had the power supply refurbished and the remote control upgraded. Many of the parts used in the design are obsolete, but if you have the facilities (or know a good tech) then there's good chance they can be repaired.


And if you're patriotic - it's British!
