AOR AR7400

AOR have recently unveiled the prototype of a new dedicated airband scanner at the latest Hamfest in Japan. This looks like a stoater of a scanner for airband enthusiasts such as myself.The casing is pretty much resemblant of the DV1 (which I also have in my wee collection) There's the ability to monitor 4 channels of air traffic simultaneously and also has 4 speaker outlets at the rear. As this is just a demonstrator, time and development will tell as to how good this scanner will be. No price has been given (either a specific or estimated one), but I think it will be close to the DV1 price tag if what it claims to offer, is anything to go by.
Whilst I await further news on this one, there is some info out there on the aor site itself as well as the ham retail sites.

Still awaiting price and availability information. Probably going to be delayed a lot due to the covid virus situation. Still bloody want one though!!

Returning to the subject, I saw an ad for this scanner from Nevada radio. I enquired, and although they said "Coming in 2022" they said neither they nor AOR could be certain of launch date or price. Oh well, guess we'll have to wait a bit longer in that case.
