A solid performer. Very stable after warm-up and even suitable for quality RTTY reception. The AVC release time is a bit long. The somewhat ugly carry handle may be swivelled down to angle the receiver, or swung up over the top of the receiver. Shown above with optional SP-100 Speaker. A good receiver.
Well the antenna connector arrived and after fitting it got nothing from the radio, I even clipped the long wire to it and all it improved was the noise, no signals at all. I recently found an online SDR site, no need for an external SDR you tune their's. This far outways what I've been doing. So looks like I bought a duff Trio, sure it looks OK but it isn't doing the job, I'm dissapointed.
I just bought same model, I got the wrong anatenna connrctor so waiting for another to arrive, so for now using a long wire but 2 places at the rear to connect I'm still experimenting which is best as I never got a maunel with mine. What antenna are you using and how is it connected?
I think mine had a fairly hard life before I bought it! Interesting about the noise floor. I will have to try and compare it to my other RX's. It is certainly better in that respect than the Target HF3 for example
Just bought one. Should get it in a few days time

I can confirm the black cover on the back is for 13.2v input. Mine has it, must be a later version
Remote socket is indeed to mute the audio when hooked to a transceiver
Mine came with manual and the repair manual. But no handle/stand
Can much be heard on these as a newbie. Thanks

My NB on mine doesn't seem to work. Any ideas what to do?

The paint they used on those seems to come off very easily. I like mine, but they have a fairly high noise floor.

@@KevinOReillyswl I had a Target HF3 - spent ages spinning the tuning control as no direct input. In end drives you nuts!
@@KevinOReillyswl Hello, can you tell me what the trimmers are called to bring USB and LSB to the right frequency, mine is 2Khz off. Regards
@@13HN870 they are all like that, the FRG7700 was the same. I would leave well alone myself
@@KevinOReillyswl Ok thnx for answer the old receivers playing wonderful and the sound is exceptional
Pity you never switched it on.
