Re: New digital readout for the FRG-7
The FRG-7 display is in production. For the RA-17 I would like to 3D-print the housing of the S-meter, with the display integraded.
Like with the FRG-7, it is my goal to bring it back to its original

Re: New digital readout for the FRG-7
That is awesome, I am sure these will be very popular. I want two when you are in production.? The display is likely a tad small given the bulk of the Racal RA17 front panel, I would envisage it

Hi,
In a previous post, I've announced that I was making a new kit for a digital readout with also a MHz indication.

Re: Font used for FRG-7
Marcel, that is excellent work. Just a suggestion to increase the versatility of your design dramatically. As you know, the VCO frequency of the FRG 7 runs from 55 to? 85 mHz with a 55mHz 1st IF. The

Re: Font used for FRG-7
Hi Chris,
Coming back to your question concerning the MHz readout, it seems my proto is working well.
I could stay to the Arduino, but I had to squeeze everything out. I'm now at 99% of the memory.

One more… this one for $4.99 is cleaner and even closer! It’s called “Bebas Neue Semi Rounded”.

Re: Font used for FRG-7
The font “Redgar Clean” by Graphite is a $12 font that comes pretty close! Note the serif on the number “1” as well as the curves on the 3, and 5, and the straight vertical sides of the zero.

Re: Font used for FRG-7
If you can get a reasonably detailed picture of the dial, there are several web sites that can try to identify the font from a picture you upload to them. I believe I’ve used this one in the past:

Re: Font used for FRG-7
Hi Chris, yes that is my goal. But it is more effort then expected. The
Arduino run out of memory and the speed is too low. So I have switch to an
ESP32. And a redesign of the pcb.

Hello,
I'm working on a new version of the digital readout. Does anyone know which font has been used for the dial in the FRG-7?

Re: Lock light stays on
The mind boggles at some of the "mods" you find, most are just a bastardisation. This one appears to route DC through another fuse to the RCA connector at the back. The rest appears to be a tapping

Re: Lock light stays on
There's a small board located on the underside of the RF board. I assume it's some type of mod.
There are 2 RCA jacks added on the back skirt of the receiver. Labeled VFO and PWR
Wonder if anyone is
