Located in the Files section is a folder called 1 - Old Yahoo Messages Folder. Here are the notes with the text file in that folder - All of the old Yahoo Messages from #1 to Nov, 2019 in a txt file of 1.1 mb. This file should open OK using Notepad. You can also use the free Notepad++ to open it faster. Notepad++ is available here - https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ . This file was edited to remove Yahoo text formatting data. Search using the Find function. Also available is an html file of 1.7 mb that will open with any browser but so far has only been tested with Firefox. Takes a bit of time to load. If you find any missing data please let me know as I have the original file.

A note about Photos Ownership: Whoever uploads photos becomes the owner of those items even though he/she may have never actually had anything to do with their creation and original posting. For the original owner to regain control over the items here is my suggestion - Contact the existing photo folder owner or photo owner and ask for ownership to be transferred to you as the original owner. A note about Files Ownership: Whoever uploads folders or files becomes the owner of those items even though he/she may have never actually had anything to do with their creation and original posting. For the Original owner to regain control over the items here is my suggestion - 1 - Create a new folder with the same name but add an asterisk (*) at the end of the folder or files name. For example an existing 6146 folder would have a 6146* folder next to it (if sorting is by Name). 2 - Copy the 6146 folder files back onto your computer. 3 - Load the 6146* folder with the files. Change the comments section as required. 4 - Ask the existing folder owner, group owner or a moderator to delete the original 6146 folder. 5 - After the 6146 folder has been deleted you can delete the * at the end of the name. 73 Roger VE7LB

Are FRG-7 for sale ads permitted ?

Hello Everyone, I just acquired a broken FRG-7. I bought it untested for a decent price. After it arrived I tested it and confirmed my suspicions that the unit was not functioning. It appeared to lock correctly, tuning the MHZ dial the lock light functioned correctly but there was no readout on the S meter, and peaking with the preselect did nothing. I opened it up and found the previous owner had butchered the RF board, attempting to replace the front end transistor trying to swap it for an NTE 454. An attempt was made to solder the leads of the 454 to the old leads of the old front end transistor, the previous owner trying to use what I assume was plumbing solder. I removed all the butchery and hooked the NTE 454 up correctly. The receiver started to work immediately, and I was able to tune and peak on all bands. It was on for a few minutes while I tuned around the bands early in the day. I was able to get the BBC and several time signals. Turning the unit off and coming back to it a few hours later the lock light was stuck on, the receiver completely deaf in the front end. The lock light would only turn off when setting the MHZ dial to the lowest frequency. I read the manual, on this issue and took note of where VR102 was set, ans rotated it around a few times. I also used contact cleaner on all the switches, power switch, band switch, mode and VR102, still nothing. Lock light is stuck on. I turned it off and turned it back on and BOOM! It's working again! I let the unit run for 4 hours listening to all sorts of shortwave programs. Switching After 4 hours I turned the unit off and then immediately back on and the lock light is stuck again. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this behavior? The unit once working works flawlessly for hours, but it will then refuse to work at random, requiring random amounts of turning off and on again? I did read the PSU and its outputting high at 15.9 volts. Could the electrolytics in the PSU and AF board be causing power issues causing the receiver not to lock? Let me know what you think

Hello all, As some of you might know, I have designed 3D printable replacement knobs for the FRG-7 switches and have them available through my website (https://ph2lb.nl/webshop/order.php) . I often get request from the US and other countries for these knobs, but international shipping (letter box package up to 100 gram) costs Euro 12,00 (aprx USD 13,00) now a days which I find ridiculous expensive. Especially when a set of 2 knobs cost Euro 1,00. So because I have made the designs public, everybody who has a 3D printer can print them., I want to set up a network of 3D printer owners who are willing to do some on-demand print for replacement knobs for help there fellow country frog owners. I was wondering what your all think of the above. -- 73 Lex PH2LB https://www.ph2lb.nl/

Hi group, and thanks for having me! Anyone who can tell the current draw for a FRG-7, when using an external 12V PSU? I have a nice linear little PSU, but it's only capable of delivering 0,9 A continously. Thanks, Hans / LB6GG Sandnes, Norway

..I thought I'd give the group a try. Friend gave me an old FRG7 to fix for him. No fine tune on the front & has some corrosion on the chassis. Symptoms: * Only a light hiss from the speaker with volume turned all the up * No stations or s meter movement * Can hear the 455 IF (I think on 1455) if I mess with LOCK So I check for the obvious: * PS voltages OK. Electrolytics ESR are fine. * All connections seem fine I suspect Q101 & find only G2 is working & replace it. No change. When I was checking component voltages I notice Q102/103 Emitters somewhat high at 2.5 & 2VDC Also find that Q401 has 5.2vdc on G2 (vs 2.7). I pull 401 & it checks fine. I start searching for cause & misread the schematic looking for R133 to find R135 on the RF board completely missing (missing from Yeasu's component view also??). So I install it, no change. I then check Q407 voltages (connects up to Q401) & they are fine. Further inspection of the IF/AF board I find a big solder blob left behind from another incompetent tech. Remove it & no change. I do insert a 3MHz signal into the the IF/AF board & get a loud report. So I find 3 issues & still have a non working radio. I am very surprised how quiet the AF is even at full volume. I know it can get pretty loud when I inserted the 3MHz. Any suggestions before I return the unit with a sad face. Thanx - Bob W8RMV ps - is there a good (cheap) source for 3SK40's?

I think this thread would be useful to anyone working on an FRG7 https://antiqueradios.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=370837

Ed Shaw was a well known DXer in the 70s and 80s and had a column in NASWA I found a column in which he described the mods he did on his FRG7 I put it in the mods folder, check it out
