Re: Not working and deaf
The fault lays in the Wadley loop section . You need to ascertain the Mhz VFO is working, this runs from 55 mHz to 85 mHz. Because your lock light goes out at the higher frequencies, this oscillator

Re: Not working and deaf
Do you have the manual with the alignment instructions? You need that and a nanoVNA and tinySA or two. The 2nd is for use as a signal generator. Connect CH0 of the nanoVNA to the antenna input attach

Re: Not working and deaf
Chirs you will likely get a hundred different answers. I had a FRG-7 that was deaf. It turned out to be coil L101. This is a large multi segmented coil. The problem was the ends of the coil are wire

Not working and deaf
I have a FRG-7 that has the following non working symptoms. The Mhz led can be tuned out on the upper shortwave bands only, and a few stations can be heard at very low volume. The Mhz led does not go

Re: Almost ready to give up but...
Buy an nanoVNA from a reputable dealer like R&L and follow the manual procedure. Twice. The circuits interact so the 2nd pass is to compensate for that. You're unlikely to see significant change on

Re: Almost ready to give up but...
I am beginning to think this radio is actually fine, it has been misaligned.? The VFO, "mHz tuning" should span from 55.5 to 84.5 mHz.? The first IF should be centered on 55 mHz, this can be checked

Re: Antenna recommendation for nursing home setting
The demise of SW broadcasting has been very sad. Bill was a UASF radio operator before getting a PhD and becoming a professor of entomology. He's now in the memory care unit where my brother in-law

Re: Antenna recommendation for nursing home setting
just a thought, since there is so LITTLE SW activity today and HF hasn't been the best since march may you could look at other options. Maybe a digital hotspot and a small HT Allstar, Dstar, Echolink,

Re: Antenna recommendation for nursing home setting
No idea at all. I stapled 100 ft of #26 stranded wire to Bill's ceiling today in a rectangular pattern and ran out of wire just before i ran out of ceiling. I'll go check how it's doing tomorrow. It

Re the EMI filter did you find this to be a benefit and if so what noise did it help with?

Re: Antenna recommendation for nursing home setting
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have an SDR H field probes, spectrum analyzer etc. available. It will take Bill a while to learn to operate the FRG-7 so I'm going go with ~85' of wire stapled to the

Just wanted to publicly thank a member here for privately offering FRG7 parts. Good people here. I've put the FRG7 aside while I torture a Heathkit now. If I find a fix in the future, I'll

Re: Antenna recommendation for nursing home setting
Indeed a active loop antenna can work well (when you don't have to much noise in the building). -- 73 Lex PH2LB https://www.ph2lb.nl/
