Dave’s review of the AOR AR-DV1 Digital Voice Receiver

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dave Zantow (N9EWO), who has recently posted his review of the AOR AR-DV1 digital voice receiver.

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:

"[Though] not what the receiver was designed for, RF performance on MW / HF bands (and the terrible audio quality) are mediocre at best."

Thanks, Dave! Your review reflects comments I've received from some Post 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.
