I agree with you 100% I would never sell my FRG-7 Yes, it's old, but it is still a fantastic receiver. Long live vintage radio equipment :)

Hi Nick, the audio clips on this vid are from my FRG-7, not bad for an 'old' receiver.

I'm a big Yaesu guy and i WANT one of these radios! Those call tones at the beginning remind me of the "Emergency" tv show!

I see in your a video a Kenwood R300.. I have one but have not seen any others on youtube, they must be getting rare... they are a very good receiver considering they are 30 years old .
