SOME AOR AR 8200mk3 REVIEWS FROM THE DIFFERENT INTERNET CHATS:
It's an incredible product. Nobody has got a product like that. You might think about this. Has an eXelent display, a good audio, an intelligent antenna!
Unlike the AR8000, the new AR8200mk3 is extremely well built and thought out. It looks like this radio will stand the test of time and kudos to AOR for doing their homework.
I see a LOT of great potential with this radio. Looking at the track record of AR8000MK3 you get a good idea of what to expect. This radio offers so much more and should sell like crazy if properly priced. The base features and user customization abilities are simply astounding. Once the optional slot cards and computer software for control are available, it will be even more of a threat to the offerings of every radio manufacturer out there.
The noise limiter (NL) can be used on AM and SSB signals to help reduce the effects of noise spikes and pulses from nearby electrical equipment.
As for new innovations, we have the rotary thumbwheel and 4-way rocker control. The rotary thumbwheel replaces the cylindrical control usually found on the top panel. By doing so, it allows one hand to hover over the control panel while the other remains over the keypad thus achieving a level of efficiency found on few radios of this type complexity.
What can I say about the almost-perfect hand-held rx'er?!? It does it all and very well! It receives nearly everything with overload and bleed-over and even does well on the LF frequencies!
I've been out of the HAM/SWL thing for about 10 years. I decided I wanted to get back into SWL with HF coverage.
I tried the Icom PCR-1000 and was less then impressed. I opted sight unseen for the 8200mk3. I wish I'd tried this rig first!
My first reaction was the learning curve of the radio's operation. Once you get over the fact that the operation manual is a rather thick 140 pages deep, you figure it's rather amazing how much they packed into this radio!
I like the AOR AR-8200mk III receiver. It is small compact almost full band coverage from 500 hz-3.0ghz. It uses AA batteries which is important for emergencies. The AOR is a little tough to understand out of the box, but after reading the book I found it easy to use. The AOR has numerous search and scan banks for organizing a number of frequencies.
Receiver performance is great for a portable. Shortwave reception is good with a Radio Shack wire for portables. The HF reception is good using the wire. HF reception with the telescoping antenna is ok! My ICOM R-75 outperforms the AOR obviously, but I can hear most of the signals over S5 on the R-75 on my AOR! That is great since my R-75 has a long wire and the AOR is using the Radio Shack 23ft. wire. AR-8200mk III is a very powerful scanner and #1 choice!
