Little is not an adjective I would use.... Well, perhaps my references are a bit off. Compared to an R-390A, SP-600, or Collins receiver, it's tiny, indeed....(c; Do they sell WD-40 in the UK? If they do, hit the audio pot with a tiny squirt of WD-40 and see if that doesn't rejuvenate it. Give it 20 stop to stop cranks. |

Yaesu FRG-7
Hi:
I still have my old "Frog-7" - it's sitting next to my bed. I've been thinking of putting it on the boat as it is a great AM radio receiver that will run on it's own batteries. No need to drain the starting battery! Many years ago, I hooked it up to my C-Band satellite receiver to pick up telephone transmissions off the satellites. I'm wondering what type of antenna I could get that would work well on the boat - somehow the 200' longwire does not seem practical ;-) Jim Pook Jim's Fishing Charters Box 326 Tahsis, BC V0P 1X0 www.jimsfishing.com 1(888) 617-FISH (3474) Toll Free (250) 934-7665 Local "Vic Fraenckel" wrote in message ...
