FRG-7 Current draw using an external 12V PSU
Hi group, and thanks for having me! Anyone who can tell the current draw for a FRG-7, when using an external 12V PSU? I have a nice linear little PSU, but it's only capable of delivering 0,9 A

Re: Need more selectivity
The filter board uses diode switching to prevent long signal lines. The diodes on the in/outs of each filter are either forward or reversed biased via a DC voltage to activate, the half rail voltage

Re: Need more selectivity
Mike, et al, Thanks for the suggestions and pointing me to some of the mod files - I will definitely check them out.? This is now not as urgent as a couple of days ago as I am waiting delivery of a

Re: Need more selectivity
I would love the schematics you mentioned. These seem like worthy mods! Thanks, Robert

Re: Need more selectivity
Improving the FRG7 selectivity by replacing filters is problematic when going much beyond a 3-4 kC bandwidth and expecting improved SSB reception. The cause is the Yaesu? free running BFO is just not
Re: Need more selectivity
radio west upgraded all their FRG-7 filters before shipping and you had the option of further upgrading of the filter including switchable filters

Re: Need more selectivity
look in the files section for the file Gilfer frg-7 mod, that explains the only way to improve selectivity in the FRG-7 smaller sized filters (based on number of elements) will not require legs to

Re: Need more selectivity
I am *NOT* and FRG-7 expert. I bought one and completely realligned it. Sensitivity is excellent, but it was designed as a general purpose shortwave receiver, not a communications radio. However, if

Re: Need more selectivity
I have several murata filters that I have for sale that can significantly improve your selectivity and with a little extra work you can make a two filter system

Need more selectivity
Hi, Y'all!? Long time Frog owner but first post here.? I'm hoping the collective can help me put this radio into mainstream use in the shack. I have been trying to pair this up with a Heathkit

Re: Not working and deaf
Thanks to everyone for their tips. I will do some more investigating and see how i go.

Re: Not working and deaf
Hi Dayle, Thanks for your advice. I will give it a try and see how I go.

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
