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

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

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.

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

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

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

If the radio has been in storage long, take a can of canned air and blow all the dust off all of the tuner caps. That might help you hear something. I have an FRG-7 that was in storage for maybe 10

When you have access to a 3D printer,? you can print your own feet, rear lugs and switch covers. Have have 3D designed the switch covers (see :

The stuff under the electrolytic caps looks like glue that was used to hold them in place before they were soldered. Look at the top of such caps. Any convex shape is bad news, they should be dead

Re the switches, have a look at /g/Yaesu-FRG-7/files/4%20-%20FRG-7%20Service%20Notes/FRG-7%20Switch%20Notes%20v1.0.pdf Addition to "Further Notes" note 4; A friend of mine had an

I have an FRG-7 in very good condition which I aligned twice. Once to do it and once to be sure ;-) The results were the same. I also have the full docs. If someone hasn't already documented this

Hello, I collected a FRG-7 yesterday. I thought it was in better shape and probably overpaid for it (EUR100). The overall aesthetic condition can be improved: - It's painted in black. - The

No problem Pentagrid,I don't see it as criticism. It's the perfectionist in me who wants to get rid of the burdies. To use the light switch is a nice solution. Enjoy your FRG-7. Kind

Marcel, my comment was by no means meant as a criticism, it is almost impossible to marry any digital circuitry into a radio without some interaction. The oscillator in the micro is a square wave

Hi Pentagrid, I've noticed the burdies as well, which I don't like at all. I've tried to reduce them by sending only the necessarry data to the display and use some ferrite in the flatcable, but the

Thanks for the credits Bob. I'm always glad the hear when someone starts enjoying the FRG-7 again. This give me energy to go continue. Apart from the FRG-7, I'm also busy making a display for the RA17

Sadly, its RAINING here in NZ today, so installed the new display..... If it rained more, I would be even happier. Having fat fingers meant it was easier for me to remove the front plastic

I did check WWV 10mhz and it was spot on. Bob

Hi Bob, How about accuracy checking against WWV on 10 MHz and 15 MHz and reporting the results? 73 Roger VE7LB Group Owner

I just finished installing this great digital display in my Sears version of the FRG-7.? Took about 1.5 hours and it works flawlessly just as designed. What a great update to this old reliable
