Yaesu FRG-7

FRG-7 is the designation given to a HF communications receiver designed and built by Yaesu of Japan in the late 1970s.

Popularly known as the 'Frog Seven', it was one of the first commercial SWL receivers to utilise a triple-conversion superhet circuit with the 'Wadley Loop' system - although such an architecture had been seen in earlier tube radios manufactured for government use, most notably in the Racal RA17.

It has a frequency coverage of 500 kHz to 29.99 MHz. It is analogue tuned and it may be powered by D batteries or from mains (AC) electricity.

The earlier FRG-7 that appeared in Europe were marketed under the Sommerkamp brand.

The Yaesu FRG-7 receiver has a large following with many sets still in daily use worldwide.
