Re: Ebay Lucky-Dip FRG7
I saw another box which is not standard under the chassis alongside the Crystal oscillator. Perhaps another converter?

Re: Ebay Lucky-Dip FRG7
The extra unit sounds like a converter to allow reception of another band of frequencies. As in converting say the 2m band down to 28MHz or similar. And the replacement 455KHz filter-nice!

Re: Digital Display for FRG-7
Hi Steve
Thanks for doing that...I just couldn't make the numbers out. I spent ages trawling data books I have and looking for TI mixers on-line, but nothing came up.

Re: Digital Display for FRG-7
For what it's worth I've got a Communications Concepts Inc. (CCI) digital display for my FRG-7. It sits on top. No longer available of course but if you can find one I can highly recommend it. It's

Re: Digital Display for FRG-7
Hi All,
When I looked carefully (pic time_step-01.jpg in files/DFC-7), the mixer is definitely Texas Instruments, and I thought I could make out "SN7651?". Did a search and came up? with a data sheet

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.
