Hello all,

i just picked up my first frg-7 and one of it s problems is the MHZ selection dial is one MHZ higher than the received frequency. in other words to tune in 10.xxx i have to set the MHZ on 11 not 10. does any know what may cause this to happen?

Hi Tim,
Does the red lock light go off when you set the MHz dial to all of the dial MHz segments? Particularly the lowest and highest MHz segments?
At the lowest and highest settings does the dial seem to go past the stop points if you keep turning the MHz knob?

the light goes out on all segments from 0-30 the MHZ dial goes about 1/2 past 30 but does not go below 0 at all it only goes the the left edge of 0?

It's looking like it is a mechanical problem and not an electronic problem. If the MHz dial only goes to the left edge of 0 that would explain why the dial shows 1 MHz higher than the actual frequency. I don't have my FRG-7 handy to check but it's possible the MHz drum has slipped on the shaft or the angle drum drive needs alignment. Check all drive components and set screws.

I found a top chassis photo and put it in the Photos section. I can see the MHz tuning capacitor has a shaft coupling with set screws. With the capacitor fully closed the dial indicator should be over the small triangle symbol to the right of 0.

Thanks for your help Roger, i will give it a try this weekend

Hi Tim, did you ever get the FRG-7 working OK?
