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.

Re: AOR AR7400
Still awaiting price and availability information. Probably going to be delayed a lot due to the covid virus situation. Still bloody want one though!!

Re: AOR AR7400
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.
