Yaesu FRG-7
 

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

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

Wow...retro memories! I had an FRG-7. Great little general coverage
receiver for its day. Thanks for the memories....

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

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 ;-)

Little is not an adjective I would use....

My TS50 is a quarter of the size and transmits as well...
