FRG-7 review

NorthernDean18 December 2023

I got this receiver in the late 90s, it works very well. It's very sensitive and selective. I would recommend it as a good solid entry level receiver.

Very good AM receiver for listening to short waves, good sensitivity.

I am surprised there are no additional reviews. The FRG-7 is a user friendly radio once you get used to it. My only gripe was the excessive BFO drift. I cant remember what technique I used but I determined that all of the frequency drift I experienced on SSB and CW was from the BFO.
