Tough question. I think the FRG-7 is actually a better receiver, but I
was frustrated by it's lack of digital read-out. I've seen where a
number of people have added a digital frequency counter and I think
that would be best if you go the Yaesu route. Both the receivers you
mention as probably not as good as the FRG-100, the Kenwood R1000 or
the TenRex RX320 that you've previously owned.

YMMV,

Hi!

Quick question for the group.

I am looking at getting back into shortwave listening, and am
considering the Yaesu FRG-7 or the Allied SX-190.

What is the recommendation from the group???

I have had and sold several receivers:

Drake SPR-4
Kenwood R-1000
Yaesu FRG-100
Ten-Tec RX-320
Realistic DX-160
Hallicrafters S-38C

TIA
