There has been a debate on if a SD card is required for the AOR 5700D to work , I have there for contacted AOR and many of its agents and they confirm that a SD card is not required . At the moment I can only read comments and cannot reply . So at the moment all the members reading this topic are getting the wrong information as you can see .
Ok to put this item to bed regarding the SD card fitted or not I have spoken to AOR in Japan via there agent in Israel this morning and emailed over 17 other AOR agents and they all have stated that you do not have to have the SD card installed here are some of there replys :- Hello again!
I have heard from AOR. Per AOR, you do not need the SD card to use the 5700D. The SD card is mostly used for audio recording and does not have any influence on performance.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with or if you have any questions.
Thank you,

You maybe thinking what the hell does she know but as you can see she spoke with AOR in Japan . So onto the next company P R O - S. I. C. this company cover most of the EU so lets see what they say :- Many thanks for your email.
SD card is not necessary to make the AR5700D working fine.
SD card is just to save / Export settings and memories as weel as some "audio" files.
SD card doens't affect recevier performances.

So on to the next :- AOR main agent for Italy , Dear Mr. Brian,
the SD card is used only for audio recording (page 15 paragraph 4 "audio recording") and to store channels already present in the frequency memories (page 40 paragraph 12 " Receiver data backup and restore").

I have lots more and they all say the same thing the SD card having the card not installed does not effect the receivers performance .
Which bring me back to my 5700D . The radio as we all know was sent up to Brian F to be checked and he confirmed it was deaf the video shows this .The radio was returned to me and was due to go back to the dealer . This being the case the box just sat in my hall way for about 5 days still as far as we knew it was still deaf . The day before I was due to drive to the dealer .I thought I would I would check to see what the radio was ok and no damage in transit but when I turned the radio on I was amazed to find that it now was working . Now this radio was bought in Jan 2020 in all this time it has never had a SD card fitted . So the radio is working with No SD card all this time . However now the radio was now working I thought it best to save the receivers settings on the SD card this I did .
So there you have it you do not have to have the SD card installed my radio was working for over 10 months with no card plus AOR have confirmed its not required . Just look in the 5700D manual please show me where it states PLEASE INSTALL the SD card .
Which brings me to manufacturers with all its agents if the SD card was required they would know .
So if you would like to see any more replys from AOR + its agents please let me know .
I do hope this now puts this topic to bed as who knows this receiver better than the manufacturers .
