Re: Digital Display for FRG-7 - image resolution
Hi All, It seems that loading an image to messages reduces it's resolution :-( So I've put various images etc into files/DFC-7; resolution is 1600x1200 vs 1024x768. Something to remember for the

Re: Digital Display for FRG-7
Yes, thats exactly how it was done, the input signal was mixed with a 3.455 MHz oscillator, a low pass filter used to remove the higher mixing product, the counter chip then? read the

Hi Simon, Unfortunately I don't have the originals; the attachments are as I found (somewhere; too long ago to remember) the on the web. Re the schematic,? it is readable, albeit with some

Hi Mark I would never spoil the radio. This kit sits in a box on top of the radio. cheers simon

Re: Digital Display for FRG-7
Thanks Steve, that’s exactly what I need. Sadly the circuit diagram is a bit low res to read clearly. Would you mind scanning the DFC-7 pages for me, or if you don’t have a scanner, could you take

Re: Digital Display for FRG-7
Don’t fit the digital display gents, it looks terrible and completely ruins the whole feel visually of the radio. The whole beauty of this radio is its retro appeal and I urge you to not be tempted

Hi Simon, Have attached a data sheet on the MSM5525 plus a couple of pics re the DFC-7. Enjoy

Digital Display for FRG-7
Hello I've just joined this group and have a mint FRG-7...it came with its box and other bits. A friend gave me an old digital display unit which turns out to be a Timestep Electronics DFC-7 from

Re: New FRG-7 owner
Yes It’s an easy mod I had more trouble getting the radio out of the exterior case M 73

Re: New FRG-7 owner
That's roughly what I did. I'd have to take back apart to look. Was *very* minor.

Re: New FRG-7 owner
Miguel, Most welcome. Be careful about who you buy a nanoVNA from as there are lots of bad copies. The H4 has the advantage you can load time-frequency FW to it, though not both at the same

Re: New FRG-7 owner
Thanks Reg, I will get a NanoVNA as it seems very useful. Just one doubt: where can I see the limits of the signal we can inject in TP103? Don't we need an attenuator in the nano-VNA to protect the

Re: New FRG-7 owner
Here is my H4 hooked up with CH0 connected to TP103 and TP102 and CH1 connected to TP104 and TP105 per the manual. SMA-M/BNC-F adapters and BNC-M to alligator clips. One can do rather better with a

Re: New FRG-7 owner
Miguel, At the time I used my HP 8560A spectrum analyzer which has a tracking generator as the nanoVNA didn't exist yet. The setup is very simple. There are test points at which you inject the

Re: New FRG-7 owner
Well if the red LED is extinguishing that means at TP110 you have enough signal. But it is a tad complex this radio. May I direct you to articles in Short wave magazine written by JL Linsley Hood.

Re: New FRG-7 owner
Reginald, I would be interested in learning how to do the alignment using a nanoVNA, if you are kind enough to share the process. I thought nanoVNA was only for antenna / filter testing; so you use

Re: New FRG-7 owner
Thanks Mike for the hints which were very helpful. I followed your procedure without success: the lock light would never go off (sometimes it would just dim a bit). After touching VR102 as

Re: New FRG-7 owner
Put Deoxit on the switch contacts and align it using a nanoVNA per the factory manual. . It's an easy radio to work on and a really neat design.It deserves its reputation. Have Fun! Reg
