I have a YAESU FRG-100 receiver. Both the manual and the brochure say
that the frequency coverage is 50kHz to 30MHz. But the FRG-100 I have
only goes down to 130kHz. Anybody with similar experience? Have I
overlooked something in the manual, or anything else?

Thanks for all info/help on this!

Regards,

Hello Sindre,

that's quite easy:
1. power down the FRG100
2. hold down the SSB and FM key while powering up again toggles between
50 kHz and 130 kHz lowest frequency.

Best regards

Hubert Hahn

I own an early (circa 1994) YAESU FRG 100 receiver, and it tunes down to
50 kHz with no problems. If the FRG 100 you own is the newer, upgraded
version (I believe Yaesu calls it the FRG 100B), then there may be certain
buttons you have to push to get the receiver to tune below 130 kHz. There
is also the possibility that your FRG 100's tuner is out of alignment,
which would explain why you can't get your receiver to tune down to 50
kHz. The Yaesu Web site at <http://www.yaesu.com> may be of further
assistance in solving your problem. Good luck!

At my FRG100 I had to press (FM) and (SSB) when switching it on.
There was a stuffer sheet in the manual explaining this procedure.

But you will miss almost nothing when starting a 130 kHz.
