Yaesu FRG-7 vs FRG-100B?
 

Which of these would be the better radio? Also, which would have
better MW AM reception?

Thanks,
Steve

There both good radios. The FRG-7 is a lot older and has analog tuning. I've
used both but never set and compaired them but the FRG-7 is a very sensitive
radio and selective too. If I was to bet I would say the 7 would pull em in
better but if you want digital tuning you have to go with the 100B
--
73 and good DXing.

I do have both of them. The FRG7 is a good receiver, but the FRG100 is more
sensitive across the whole tuning range, has higher gain, and better
overload protection. Since it uses a monolithic crystal filter at the 1st
I.F. the 2nd mixer is afforded better protection from out of passband
signals.
Still, the "7" is a fun receiver to use.

It was always a cool receiver.................it always reminded me of an
old tube type, similar to those old RCA Navy receivers that had the
projected on ground glass readout.

I got a set that does that Pete. Its an AN/SRR-13A. Its on my website. They
use moduals that plug in for the differant radio stages and weird miniture
tubes. Very cool set.
