FRG7 is a reasonably good receiver. It is worthwhile if you want to hear Long range HF communications from overseas or weatherfax etc.

I inherited a Yaesu FRG-7 receiver from my father. I have never used it. As
I get spun up for a "new" life as a live-aboarder I am contemplating the
stuff I will need and have been looking at the FRG-7. Is it a
reasonable/useful item to have aboard?

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

TIA

Vic

Thanks for the replies to my FRG-7 query. I am putting it in the on-the-boat
pile of stuff.
