AOR AR7070 News

November 2009

From the AOR(UK) web site comes this news

"Several pre-production units have been built and working, but the internal operational firmware needs to be finalised before we move to production. More details will be available closer to release."


I've received an e-mail (7 May 2009) from Rimantas Pleikys from Lithuania. He saw what he believed to be, a rough sketch of the front panel of the AOR AR-7070. The info came from this blog http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/gakuji7n4njn/archive/2008/08/24

I've placed the sketch here, but as always...

1) This might not be the official design or have anything to do with AOR!

2) Designs do change in manufacturing, due to the availability of parts!

There are no guarantees that this might be the final design!
