Yaesu FRG-100 reviews

I've owned a frog-100 for several months now and I notice that it has excellent low noise floor. Much more than my r-75. Also has agc that works quite well. And has extremely high sensitivity. It's a keeper.

I've had a few of these. One or two of them drifted slightly until 'warmup', the others didn't drift at all. I just thought that was interesting. But for flat-out utility Dx'ing I believe the FRG-100 is about as good as it can possibly get. Nice slimline appearance too, ala the Lowe receivers, but the FRG-100 has a slew of features that aren't immediately obvious upon looking at it. The famous Drake R-8 had stronger audio, but in no way was it better in catching the weak stuff. In fact the FRG-100 is better. I see now that the used price has gone way up for these, to around $450. Still worth it, all things told.

So easy to use - Just plug and go... Works amazingly well with just 50 feet horizontal wire at 25 feet at the feed point and fed with coax and earthed via a lightning conductor to a 4 feet long earth spike in the ground. Low noise floor and attenuator works well if the amateur bands are busy. Excellent on broadcast stations and maritime. On a par with the Drake SW8 - 10/10...
