My Japanese radio receiver 1981 to 2024

I am not a collector, in 2024 i have only my Sony 7600 but it is out of order. All the rest was sale.

My first in 1981, sanyo RP 8880

Not a long time later Yaesu 7000

I regrets to have sale this nice receiver !

My first tranceiver Yaesu 707S ( 10 watts )

It was only possible to listen amateur radio bands. I send a réception report to a ham from Andorra and receive my first amateur radio QSL card.

Icom 725 unfortunatly he have some problems but it was nice to use on 11 meter DX !!!

ICOM ICR 70

I keep ( in the 80 and 90's ) it in my parents house and use my CB radio antenna 5/8 wave on the roof to listen.

Icom R75

It was my last Icom receiver

In 2011 i buy a second hand RX ICOM R75 but i dont keep it, too much QRM and my interest to listen SW was not strong at this moment.

Yaesu FRG 8800

I buy it for 200 Euros but only after few months it was KAPOUT...

My best portable radio receiver was a SONY ICF 7600, i bring it to few place in the world. A very good receiver.

My IOTA DX expedition from Philippines DU4/F14368 in my parents in law. I remember i listen on the terrace with a nice view of volcano who can be active...

is an active stratovolcano in the province of Camarines Sur, in the Philippines.

ICOM 1000, 2000 and 5000

I keep the R5000 long time and confirm 250 DXCC with amateur radio and 320 IOTA

I keep short time the R1000 and 2000

Its my best receiver, i buy new in a famous Parisian shop GES with F2YT. I make me a spécial price ! I think price it was like on month of salary in the 80's
