Are you sure about the R-7000 specs? I haven't checked, but I am pretty sure it is 
closer to 1.0uv, and mine is even worse than that.  The 7000 has a pretty bad 
reputation for being insensitive, and it is deserved, even though it is a great receiver.
And I would be surprised it the 1000 would be much different, since it is similar in 
purpose.
