Hi everyone,

after a while I turned on my FRG7 and found two surprises ...

the first :
the led lock switches off regularly only from 14 MHz to go up, under 14 MHz up to 10 MHz it goes off but not in a defined way, from 7/8 MHz to go down it doesn't go out anymore, even if it is possible to hear the HAM in 40 meters without problems. I have seen in the manual that VR102 can be adjusted for correct alignment, I have to try. Any suggestions from you about this problem?

the second :
the preselector has no effect, turning the knob no longer has any "DIP" points in any range. Any suggestions from you about this problem?

thanks and best 73 Luca IK2NUQ

Hi Luca,
Whenever I find a problem with any radio, particularly if it hasn't been used in a while, I shut off the radio and exercise the rotary switches. In the case of the FRG-7 I would start off by rotating the band and mode switch 20 times end to end. This will wipe of any oxidation from the rotary contacts. If it seems to improve the problems then do it again one more time. If it works then all is well. If it comes back again try some dexoxit on the band switch contacts. Use dexoxit by applying it sparingly to the rotary contacts.

If the above doesn't work then some alignment may be required.
