\"\"<\/a>Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Dave Zantow (N9EWO), who has recently posted his review of the AOR AR-DV1 digital voice receiver.<\/p>\n

As with many of Dave’s reviews, this evaluation takes a close look at HF and mediumwave performance which isn’t the AR-DV1’s strong suit. Dave notes:<\/p>\n

“[Though] not what the receiver was designed for, RF performance on MW \/ HF bands (and the terrible audio quality) are mediocre at best.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks, Dave! Your review reflects comments I’ve received from some Post<\/em> readers who’ve purchased the AR-DV1 as well. Many were particularly upset with the audio quality. Of course, the AR-DV1 is marketed as a digital voice receiver, thus audio likely favors “narrow” voice audio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
