Do not know exactly how the units work, but I did own such a device and
used it in my 1978 Blazer that had only a AM radio.

Hi All,

I was recently given a Yaesu FRG-7. It is in good working shape and it's
kind of nice to have this classic as my bed side receiver. But, I have
gotten spoiled over the past few years by having FM broadcast available on
my bed side radios. I am trying to find one of the 12 volt FM converters
that used to be available from Radio Shack and others which you would put
between your car antenna and your AM radio. You would tune your AM radio to
a specified frequency and then turn on the converter using its tuning dial
to tune the FM band. I would like to try one of these on the Yaesu. If
anyone has one, please let me know what you would need for it.

Thanks very much.


I can understand how a converter can put FM-band signals on a lower
range of frequencies, but how does it make an amplitude-modulated
receiver access frequency-modulated signals?
