Hi Folks,
First and foremost, many thanks to Jeff at The Hamstation for being so kind as to send me this "much maligned and controversial" latest offering from AOR for evaluation. Over the next few weeks I plan to run it through the ringer. No worries Jeff, as you'll see in the pictures below there is no chance I'll set a beer on top of it and create a nasty ring. Even if I did I'd use a coaster.
A few caveats as I begin this demolition...
The box. Remarkable, huh?
Damn I hate paperwork. I suppose I might have to refer to these from time to time. One of my favorite things is to try to figure out radios out of the box as much as possible prior to RTFM. You know, it's a guy thing...
Continued in part two.

A few caveats as I begin this demolition...
- I am a hobbyist, not a technician. Therefore this will be by and large "un-technical".
- There will be beer involved. I have a keg of Anchor Steam Beer from San Francisco in my kegerator. One of the world's best, and like the radio hobby, a vice I just don't see myself getting over anytime soon.
- I listened to the album "Ten" by "Pearl Jam" as I set this test platform up. As a result it'll likely be tomorrow before I can start to report how the radio actually sounds...
The box. Remarkable, huh?
