Yesu has been founded by a Japanese radio amateurand started with the
production of ham radio transmitters. After the ham band only receivers
FRDX400 and FR-101, Yaesu entered the market 1977 with it's FRG-7.
The so-called FRoG was a solid state triple conversion allwave receiver,
using Wadley - Loop - technology and a preselector, it sonn became a very
popular allround shortwave receiver and is still considered as an absolute classic.
After the succeeding FRG-700 with a digital frequency display, the
FRG-7700 with it's PLL synthesizer circuitry,
optional internal 12 station memories and the optional external antenna tuner,
active antenna and VHF-converter was a very popular and successful set, too.
The good relationship between price and performance was later found in the
FRG-8800 and the slightly smaller FRG-100. It is obvious,
that the manufacturer has it's roots in the amateur radio business, the
receiver configuration can adapted and Yaesu never followed the bad habits
of coupling reception mode - IF filter bandwidth - tuning step automatically
together, the choice is left to the listener.
