Yaesu FRG-7700 display ???
 
The freqency /time display doesn't blank any of the center segments on
either time or frequency function. Any suggestions on a fix appreciated.
The serial number is 59,800 and I wonder if anyone can tell me if this is an
early or late model?
tnx

OK, what is it you wish to blank then? I owned a FRG-7700 for several years.
What exactly do you mean by 'center segments'?


tnx

It's a five digit display made of seven segment digits. The center or "G"
segment doesn't blank when zero is displayed so zero looks like an eight.
It has leading zero suppression and instead of the zero being totally
suppressed the center segment appears as a minus sign.

I think his problem is a 0 looks the same as an 8 and a 7 looks like a
backwards F - the middle horizontal bar is lit all the time.
