Font used for FRG-7


 

Marcel, that is excellent work. Just a suggestion to increase the versatility of your design dramatically. As you know, the VCO frequency of the FRG 7 runs from 55 to? 85 mHz with a 55mHz 1st IF. The very common Racal R17 uses the same Wadley loop design, with slightly different VCO frequencies, this one spans 40 to 70 mHz with a 1st IF of 40 mHz.. IF you could find? a little room to program a few extra? bytes into the "megacycle" routine, a keypress perhaps to alter a pointer to a lookup table, this would increase interest enormously..... there are many Wadley loop receivers? out there.that are lacking a good readout, I think interest would be very high. I would buy two without question.

Hi Marcel,
It looks good and I am glad you got it working well. I am looking forward to buying one.


 

Hi Chris,
Coming back to your question concerning the MHz readout, it seems my proto is working well.
I could stay to the Arduino, but I had to squeeze everything out. I'm now at 99% of the memory.
I also switched to 7 segment characters. I've included some pictures.
Now I can start to design a new PCB. Hope to have it ready within a few months.

One more¡­ this one for $4.99 is cleaner and even closer! It¡¯s called ¡°Bebas Neue Semi Rounded¡±.

Hi gbrandy and Randy, thanks for your reply. I'll give a try.

The font ¡°Redgar Clean¡± by Graphite is a $12 font that comes pretty close! Note the serif on the number ¡°1¡± as well as the curves on the 3, and 5, and the straight vertical sides of the zero. Link:

If you can get a reasonably detailed picture of the dial, there are several web sites that can try to identify the font from a picture you upload to them. I believe I¡¯ve used this one in the past:

Hello,

I'm working on a new version of the digital readout. Does anyone know which font has been used for the dial in the FRG-7?

Hi Chris, yes that is my goal. But it is more effort then expected. The Arduino run out of memory and the speed is too low. So I have switch to an ESP32. And a redesign of the pcb.

Hi Marcel,
Does this version have the Mhzas well as the Khz readout?
