Yes, it's of course the AOR.  I simply love this receiver too, although initially I had my misgivings....too many menus, etc.  Now, it's virtually always the first receiver on and the last off.  I kick myself as I once had two, and sold the other.  Now I think the only receivers that match or surpass the 7030 class would be the SDRs.  The feedback from Guy Atkins and John Bryant (with the SDR-1000 and WinRadio 313e) is unequivocal:  they will never return to the "usual" receivers.  They are simply that much better and with far greater capabilities than any of their predecessors.  I'm in the process of acquiring the SDR-IQ now (Guy Atkins has it at the moment), so I'm on board with them!  ......Walt.
PS:  Without doubt, though, there's something VERY special about turning on a boat anchor!
