Default YASU FRG7

Hi John,

I just bought one about three weeks ago for $225US. I like it,
especially since I upgraded my antenna to a EWE (Google that for more
info, if interested). Some people complain about it being kind of
tricky to operate, but it's not hard to use at all. It's not a
high-end receiver but it is a pleasure to play with. I don't know why
that other respondent said anything about repairs, as it has got a good
reputation for reliability, and I certainly have older radios that work
great too, like my fifty-year-old Hammarlund.

For the money, I think it's a good deal. You won't be disappointed,
provided the radio you get is in decent shape.

It is sensitive, has decent selectivity for AM broadcasts, and has very
good sounding audio. And with a good antenna, the S/N ratio can be
outstanding.

Have a good day,
Alan
