Yaesu FRG-7
 
Hi there

Just wondering what the average price of the FRG-7 is these days. There
are a couple on Ebay, but I really dont know what a fair price is.

Thanks

The Fair Price is what then end up selling for. Ebay doesn't set the price,
the buyer does. And he'll only pay what he thinks is a fair price.

Last weekend I was at a HamFest here in Florida. I had seen two
forsale, both in good clean condition. One was selling for $150 and the
other $175.

based on performance they are worth $100-$125 since a satellit 800 is 10
times better for about $250-$300.

anyone who pays $200 or more for an FRG-7 is a fool. unless it is mint
in the box and the buyer is a collector.

I've seen them go from $300.00 (which I thought was too
much), all the way down to $75.00 (which is an outstanding
price, as long as the receiver is in excellent shape).

$150 - $200 is about average. One of the real advantages
of this receiver is its lack of synthesizer noise. Kiwa and
International Radio both sell filter kits for tighter bandwidths,
and these are also worth the $$$.

for all that money, get a REAL receiver, the Sat 800

The thing I can't get past about the 800 is it is butt-ugly.

What is the situation with getting spare parts for the FRG-7? Does Yaesu
still support it?
