excel file with manual diagnostic tables
I have a Frog on the desk to look at over the weekend so built an excel sheet to make the manual diagnostic tables a bit easier to read, also added a blank chart so you can record your 'Q' voltages as

Re: New to me FRG-7 - questions - antenna connectors on rear panel
Update to my last: I'm now hearing World Music Radio on 5930, a reasonable signal in the UK which you can verify by listening online: https://www.wmr.dk/# ( https://www.wmr.dk/ )

Make that 25800 ;) Don't put too much expectations in hearing WMR, they are running about 250W and I've never heard them in the UK - Julian

Re: New to me FRG-7 - questions - antenna connectors on rear panel
Also check 75m and the 60m 'tropical' band in the evening, where you will also hear genuine 'dx' from China domestic stations. The extended MW band from 1.6 ¨C 1.8MHz is always full of low power

Re: New to me FRG-7 - questions - antenna connectors on rear panel
Most stations are around 6 MHz but WMR from Denmark also broadcasts on 15700 and on 25700 (weekends), while Delta from the Netherlands has had long-distance successes on 12030 and 9800. At this very

Re: New to me FRG-7 - questions - antenna connectors on rear panel
Alex, interesting about the new low power European stations. I know Netherlands are permitting MW QRP broadcast. What bands do you think are worth a listen to? 73 David

Re: New to me FRG-7 - questions - antenna connectors on rear panel
You have the alternative of all those new low-power European stations. Not exotic but at least a challenge. What is happening in Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and now also in Finland is

It is indeed a lovely radio, but just sad to listen to Chinese propaganda all day long as there is nothing to hear any longer 73 Sent from the all-new AOL app for iOS

Re: New to me FRG-7 - questions - antenna connectors on rear panel
Julian and Pentagrid - Many thanks for the responses! I was just curious if I had a "unicorn" FRG-7 due to it missing the other antenna/mute connector on the rear panel. I too, remember the "golden

Re: New to me FRG-7 - questions - antenna connectors on rear panel
I totally agree. The lack of powerful SW? stations though has its upside, especially with the Wadley loop receiver designs that have severe shortcomings with dynamic range and internal noise issues.

Re: New to me FRG-7 - questions - antenna connectors on rear panel
The rearrangement of the antenna connectors sounds like a sensible afterthought; I;m not so sure about removing the fine tune control, as this is essential for accurate tuning to SSB transmissions.

Re: New to me FRG-7 - questions - antenna connectors on rear panel
There probably lots of little changes over the production history.? The "Frog" that I have has the connectors you mention, fixed cord, plus a fine tuning knob.? If you need the other connectors I

New to me FRG-7 - questions - antenna connectors on rear panel
I picked up an FRG-7 last week for a very attractive price - and have done a bit of research on it already - but there's a nagging question that I have that I've been unable to find an answer to
