New digital readout for the FRG-7


 

Hi,
?
In a previous post, I've announced that I was making a new kit for a digital readout with also a MHz indication.?
Now I've assembled the first PCB's and they function?well.
For an impression, look at
@Pentagrid, concerning your remarks about the RACAL RA-17. I'm in the lucky position to own one now.
I'm busy, finding the right points for the signals and the power supply. The kit will probably replace the S-meter.
For anyone who is interested, please contact me.
?
Best regards,
Marcel de PA8MA

Nice modification,?

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 being mounted externally . However, I am impressed very much with your design.


 

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 state within a half hour.
But it will take a while before this kit is ready.


 

Thank you Lex


 

This is a beautiful upgrade to a classic receiver. ?Great design!


 

I’d like to buy a v2 kit as well!

Sorry, I thought the kit wasn’t available yet, but I think I see it on eBay. Is this the same one? Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/145745777645


 

Hi Randy,
?
Yes, that is the new version. But I can make you a better offer than on Ebay. The expenses at Ebay are rather high and I try to reduce the cost for the buyer.
Please contact me at pa8ma.radio@... if you are interested.
Regards, Marcel
