Pumper 50 of Vicradiozone has just issued this summary on his VicRadioZone blog on the AOR AR-DV1

http://vicradiozone.com/2015/08/05/the- ... nications/

"AOR launched their AOR AR-DV1 Receiver.
In the following weeks there appeared to be mixed reviews on various forums as to the performance of the receiver.

The receiver covers the following digital modes;

– D-Star Narrowband only. Data mode not supported.
– Alinco Only with digital unit EJ-47U (Voice mode F1E)
– Yaesu V/D mode only
– Digital CR AMBE+2 systems only
– NXDN 6.25KHz mode only
– dPMR dPMR446 and Tier 1 mode only.
– P25 Unencrypted and conventional mode only.
– DMR Tier 1 and Tier modes only unencrypted.

Some of the initial performance concerns appear to have been rectified by subsequent firmware updates, however some users still appear aggrieved by the lack of certain functionality and information not displayed on certain modes they’d expect to be able to see, such as colour codes and slot usage details"

Now selling at Andrews Communications for $1999.
Would be nice in a handheld version!
I suppose we all would like one that does Mototrbo & NXDN trunking also.

One of these Digital scanners is selling on ebay with the following details. Seems like the seller does not know much.Does it receive shortwave?

"AR DV1 scanner. Bought in April for an ederly gent who was sick and wanted to listen to short wave. He no longer is in a state to use the scanner so its up for sale. Not a lot of use and is as new. Comes with AC plug, 12V dc plug for battery operation and USB cable for computer control. Also telescopic antenna. It also comes with a full registered copy of Butels PRO software that allows channel search and all the features of the scanner to be controlled from a computer.

I dont know much about this scanner but I assume since your reading this - you have a clue."
