Hi
I currently have an old Frog, but it was accidentally dropped the other day
( thanks grandson). and is beyond repair.
I have the opportunity to buying either
Kenwood R-2000
Sony ICF 2001D
Frg7000.
I know it is a bit personal choice but has anyone any experience of these
and which one should I buy.
They are all about the same price.
Thanks
Chris

The Sony is OK is you want to go portable, but overloads with a "real"
aerail. The FRG 700 is probably your best bet, but also see the on-line
reviews at e-ham

How much would you sell the broken FRoG for?

I have a FRG-7000, along with a FRG-8800 and R-75. The 7000 is a fine
machine despite the fact that it's so old.

The link you provided:
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/1808
Is not for the FRG-7000. It is for the 7700
And:
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/979
is for the FRG-7

Hands - down, the R - 2000, unless portability is very important.

73,

Get an R-2000 - And if you look out for the VHF COnverter as well -
thats even better (some 2nd hand ones may have the VC-10 in it!) -
You'll get 118-174mHz as well

I had one but part ex'd for an R-75 (couldn't have afforded the 75
without it - and no one was going to seriously part ex a pana RF-B45 for
it) - but now regret it - sure the 75 is better, but there wa a build
quality and features of the 2K which i miss. I've yet to see my R-75
illuminate the room in the same way the r-2k did when it was powered.

Plus it had variable attenuator (the 75 is one-step) real moving coil
meter! (woohoo!) and it was a doddle to operate!
