I am deeply saddened to have to write this, having been a devoted AOR customer for many years.
If you are considering buying a DV10 - be warned.
If you have one already - be aware.

I can confirm this is correct.
The DV10 has a totally unacceptable Frequency drift as it warms up. Up to 3kHz at around 450mHz. Analogue signals may just be able to cope with this and still return a signal (albeit poorly).
Digital signal will not be able to cope with an offset of this size.
There are a lot of problems with the first batch of DV10's, but most should be curable in firmware. This fault cannot be. It will, if AOR ever acknowledge and do something about it, require hardware changes, and possibly a re-design of the PCB's.
There are already a lot of posts complaining that the DV10 does not pick up some DMR signals, compared to other makes of Radio. This hardware fault explains why.
As some of you may be aware I am the author of a program for the DV1, and was in the progress of writing one for the DV10, so to take the step below is a bitter decision.
I am in the process of returning my AR-DV10 for a refund.
You no doubt realise that AOR are paid by the radio's Distributors/Dealers. As things stand complaining to AOR will not hurt them financially so may well NOT produce a 'fix'.
However if the Distributors/Dealers have to start refunding money, they will put pressure on AOR that cannot be ignored.
If you currently own an AR-DV10 I strongly recommend you contact your Dealer and at least threaten to return the receiver unless the fault is acknowledged, and AOR undertake to correct it for present owners, as they may well do so 'quietly' in a subsequent production run and leave us with a Radio that is, sad to say, unfit for purpose.
I will continue this on my other thread, and try to keep you updated.
