I think Yeasu rigs had a dial lamp in series with the receive antenna as a
FUSE and it may be open if it was exposed to excessive RF at one time?

Dear Ten Ten Folks:
I know this is a bit off the focus of the group so I won't take up much
bandwidth.
I picked up a Yaesu FRG-7700 receiver several years ago and shipped it
direct from the seller to my son serving in Iraq.
He said it wouldn't pick up anything. I thought he was just unfamiliar
with its operation.
Just had the opportunity to play with it myself and it is indeed almost
deaf.
If anyone in the group has experience with this rig, would you please
contact me direct?
Thanks and 73!
