I recently added several FRG 7s to my receiver collection and while both are fairly minty cosmetically one of the units has an issue with the main KHZ tuning drum. It seems to hit the limits before reaching the end of the scale. So for example tuning down towards 0 you might hit a Soft stop at about 50khz but can continue to tune down with resistance to 0. Then if you reverse and tune up to 1000khz you meet resistance at about 900 but can continue to tune until you reach a full stop. So it’s like the stops are see-sawing back and forth as you tune from end to end. I believe there is some sort of rotating stop system being used but have no info on how to set it up. The rig I have ( h@ve ) that works normally has sufficient overtravel on both ends of the scale before hitting hard stops..

What voltage does the Q111 emitter have to have for the Lock led to turn on?

Recientemente he adquirido una FRG-7 a la que le falta el mando de sintonización. Si alguien tiene algún mando para vender le agradeceré me indique el precio pues estoy interesado en adquirirlo. Saludos Rafael I recently purchased a FRG-7 that is missing the tuning knob. If someone has a command to sell, I will be grateful if you indicate the price as I am interested in purchasing it. Cheers Raphael

Hello fellows I picked up a 1976 Yaesu Musen FRG-7 this year from Dan in Quebec ,this unit seems to work fine but I was always told a unit this old should have the electrolytic caps changed, do you fellows think they should all be changed for new ones and if I get the kit and do it will I have to do a realignment ,I have no problem changing the caps but if I have to do realignment better I leave it alone ,I am sure I could not realign it properly ,any advice fellows ,thanks so much for your time all the very best Rick

Hi. Trying to locate the FILES section. I was subscribed to the .io group, but don't seem be getting full access. I re-subscribed. Info says moderator approval not required. Will see if my first post approval get me access to FILES. Tnx

I had to replace T101 in my FRG. The small winding (the one closer to the antenna input) turned out to be interrupted, so I couldn't receive any more in the A band. My attempts stopped a long time ago, so at present time I can't recall all the steps I made to set up a home-made replacement for that transformer. For sure I couldn't use the original tiny coil former. The main winding might even have broken off, while I was handling that delicate component. Both windings, in fact, were made of extremely thin enameled wire. I made my deductions concerning a possible value for the parallel inductance in the preselector (the main winding). I considered the frequencies involved for the A band and the maximum and minimum capacity the variable air capacitor may give, considering how it is used for the A band (I inspected the schematic). Signals on A band came back, but I had to face an imperfection: readings on preselector's scale after adjusting are not coherent with the received frequency readings. I asked for a test a friend of mine owns a FRG-7 as well. So I eventually concluded the mentioned behavior is not normal. Has anyone here possibly faced and fixed the same issue? So far I couldn't even find the service manual, but I suppose the alignment procedure for the preselector might be acting on the inductance to tune at the lowest frequency of A band, and acting instead on the trimmer capacitor to align the preselector around 1.6 MHz. I've in mind to get back to work with that receiver. Meanwhile, I tried to ask here, after realizing this is a new place for FRG-7 owners after the Yahoo Groups service was discontinued. Thanks in advance! A.

Has anyone got a spare on of these? Mine is very wobbly and about to fall off!

Hello my name is Rick new to this group ,I got a FRG-7 from Danny in Quebec that looks and works like new ,I found a website that shows you how to find out when the set was made ,my ser. # is 6M081728 so from what I found out the set was made in November of 1976 ,I opened up the set to look at the chassis and found out that the big electrolytic caps were a very light blue colour and made by Rubycon and the smaller electrolytic caps were a grey colour and made by Elaina ,I had read that some say to change the caps because of their age and some say if they work and look fine just leave them alone ,anyway i just wanted to know if any of the members would know that because the bigger caps are of a different brand than the smaller caps could it be that some of the caps have been change in it,s life ,I really don,t want to change all the caps in this unit it looks too tight in there for me ,I would have thought that Yaesu Musen used all the same brand caps in the set that they built ,any thoughts on this ,thanks for your time all the very best Rick

I previously added some information about the S & S Engineering Digital Readouts to the Files Section "FRG-7 with non GAR-7 Digital Readouts" folder. There is presently an eBay seller with four of these unbuilt kits for sale at $40 each delivered. eBay # 372956780739. The only problem is that they don't come with cases. I mention the case size in the files section. Alternatively the LED section could go in the existing dial window and the circuit board elsewhere in the FRG-7. I have no relation to the seller. 73 Roger VE7LB

don't know if there is a forum for the FT 757, so will give this forum a try. Question. Does anyone know if the FT-757GX II have a back ground light for the S meter? Since my unit has none I'm wondering if I should take it apart to find a burned out bulb or some such. 73

I'll try to start putting some FRG mods and reviews into the file pages soon. Here is a link from the past that still works, too bad they didn't complete the ambitious start they made. http://www.monitor.co.uk/radio-mods/frg-7/frg-7.htm Jim, KA6TPR

Hi, I have an FRG-7 that has become completely deaf, on all bands. I seem to recall reading somewhere that there is a part of area of the radio that, of pressed on, can wake the set back up. Can someone tell me where that might be? Thank you, Arthur

My Frog finally gave up the ghost. Does anyone have a good, solid working Frog that they don't think is worth the Moon, or, eBay prices? I'd love to buy a replacement. Please let me know. Thanks, Arthur

Hi everyone, after a while I turned on my FRG7 and found two surprises ... the first : the led lock switches off regularly only from 14 MHz to go up, under 14 MHz up to 10 MHz it goes off but not in a defined way, from 7/8 MHz to go down it doesn't go out anymore, even if it is possible to hear the HAM in 40 meters without problems. I have seen in the manual that VR102 can be adjusted for correct alignment, I have to try. Any suggestions from you about this problem? the second : the preselector has no effect, turning the knob no longer has any "DIP" points in any range. Any suggestions from you about this problem? thanks and best 73 Luca IK2NUQ

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?
