Yaesu FRG-100?
Hi There,
Newbie thinking of purchasing a Yaesu FRG-100 for SW listening. Any opinions on this radio? Also, any recomendations on wife-friendly antenas? TIA! -Rene Lafayette, CA |
Hi Rene
The FRG-100 is an excellent choice. I've had one for over two years and I'm really pleased with it. I also have an Icom R71, and for SWLing the FRoG is every bit as good as the Icom. It's great on SSB and CW, but I'm mostly a broadcast listener. I don't miss having a synch really, as it works really well if you tune AM broadcasts in USB or LSB mode. Although it has no keypad, it's really user-friendly. Cheers Andy |

These were improved l8r (FRG-100B I think?). Keypad only as a 3rd party product. May not ship with power supply. Google Groups and the usual review sites will probably spit out some more info.
