Rejuvenating the Yaesu FR-50B Receiver - Part 1

摘要

My first amateur receiver was a third- or fourth-hand Yaesu FR-50B. I learned to tune SSB the old-fashioned way and sat up many nights listening to amateurs and broadcast stations while using a longwire antenna. The radio chassis was already badly rusted when I got it and after two decades and while packing to move to another continent I had no choice but to consign it to the dump.
