Hello all,
am thinking of buying a FRG7 and would be interested in
hearing others thoughts on this receiver.

Consider the Realistic DX-302 too. It uses a tuning system similar to the
FRG-7 with the added feature of a digital frequency display. The '302'
could use some mod's to improve it's performance but it's an acceptable
receiver in original form. The DX-300 was an earlier version that turned
out to be a 'lemon'. Don't consider that model. A good '302' goes for
about $100 on Ebay.
