Yaesu FRG-7 Frequency Range Questions
I noticed for the first time today that my frog happily locks to the 30 and
31 Mhz ranges in the positions to the left of 29 Mhz on the dial. (All ranges from 0-29 Mhz work just fine) From a brief test, it appears the receiver is quite capable of tuning from 30-30.99 Mhz. (The AM mode does an admirable job as a slope detector on narrow FM) Sensitivity appears to be less than in the plated frequency range (presumably some attenuation by preselector and the band pass filter for band "D") but still quite usable. So here are my questions, Is this normal behaviour for an FRG-7, or does it indicate a problem ? Would the long-term use of this "extra" receiving range have the potential to cause problems for the receiver ? |

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal states that prolonged listening to frequencies 30 MHz causes Martha Stewart Syndrome (MSS). http://www.thelaboroflove.com/forum/misc/12.html "PM" |
