I have an FRG-8800, and my only complaint is that power surges or
fluctuations (such as can happen during a power outage) can scramble the
microprocessors. I remedy this by keeping it plugged into a surge
protector that I turn off when the radio is not in use. Other than that,
it is wonderful for 20 year old technology.


You ought to think about plugging it into a small UPS then, as surge
protection normally clamps at 330v and provide no power conditioning
(voltage regulation) whatsoever.
