Funny... if I look inside my '8500 I see a cast aluminum,

Much as I like my Yaesu gear, their last great receiver was the
FRG-100.


I wanted one. They were probably way underrated. I'd like to find a
good comparison between it, FRG 7 and FRG 9600 (Digital displays
notwithstanding). There was some old stock last year at one of hte
Canadian dealers, but I don't know if they still have any. Price was
around 8 to 900 dollars.
