Yes, those older Yaesu's can be a lot of fun. I looked long and hard
at a used 7700 before deciding on a Kenwood R5000 (new) about 14 years ago. I owned the Sears version of the FRG-7 for about a year and enjoyed it a lot. Not as fast as a digital receiver to tune around in, but enjoyable and a good performer nontheless. My favorite of the so-called massproduced pre-digital receivers is the Kenwood R-300. Looked like it should have tubes, but it didn't. The xtal marker took some getting used to and it drifted some, but it was a challenge worth overcoming.

SX-88, that is an example of a collectors rig. Not true. A collectors item is anything a collector of those items thinks it is. To me, the FRG-7700 is one radio in my collection of radios. They may have been mass produced, but they are over 20 year old and the supply is dwindling every week. To each his own... Lucky |
