Information

This spectacular new all-band, all mode general coverage shortwave Receiver combines the finest features of Yaesu's previous world famous FRG-series receivers with the most recent developments in microcomputer technology, offering functionality and convenience never before available — even in much more costly equipment, for serious shortwave listening and professional monitoring. Featuring a large liquid crystal display with 100Hz frequency resolution and including a unique S/ SINPO "bar graph" type indicator, the FRG-8800 also incorporates a 21-button keypad for digital frequency entry and programming of the 12 internal memories and multi-function Scanner. AM, SSB, CW and FM modes are pushbutton selectable with both wide and narrow bandwidths (exc. SSB), and all mode data is stored in the memories along with frequency. Selectable AGC rates, noise blanking widths and tuning rates are provided to ensure comfortable listening and easy operation even under adverse band conditions. Two 24-hour clocks with an automatic timer are provided for selectable display of local and universal time, and automatic power switching of the Receiver and auxiliary recording equipment at preprogrammed time and frequen cy. All-mode squelch, tone and attenuator controls are also provided. At the heart of the FRG-8800 is an 8-bit cpu controlling all of the tuning, mode selection, scanning, memory and Clock functions. Three scanning modes are available through the keypad, by which either all or only selected memories can be scanned, or all frequencies between two memories (at selectable rates and steps). The Yaesu CAT System allows operators with personal computers to add other functions as desired, such as unlimited additional memories, automatic tuning, customized scanning systems and even voting reception, using most any personal computer and a Yaesu FIF CAT Interface Unit. The FRV 8800 VHF converter, which mounts inside the FRG-8800, is available as an option to add the range of 118 to 173.999 MHz to the Receiver. The FRA-7700 Active Antenna and FRT-7700 Antenna Tuner originally designed for the FRG-7700 are of course fully compatible with the FRG-8800. 12V DC operation is optional.
