Review Summary For: Yaesu FT-757GX MK1 Reviews: 57 MSRP: 899.99 Description: Compact HF transceiver with 0.530 MHz receiver. Product is not in production More Info. I had hi hopes, but found the radios performance inferior to the noise level on the HW101. Then about 27 days after the warranty expired the receiver went quiet. Sent it back to yeasu and they charged me 168 to fix it that was 22.4 of the purchase price. I borrowed a TS 830 from a friend for the 4 months it took to repair it. Years later, after good reviews and the military look, I got an FT 897, followed by a kenwood TS 570 which was my main radio until I retired. Used it with a variety of compromise antennas (apartment living). Took it to Japan and operated for a few years with a vertical antenna, then back to the US and used it with OCF dipoles and longwires. Packed it away around 1999 and it remained in storage until around 2018-2019. Pulled it out and plugged it in again, and it still worked like a charm Over all the years, the digital dial reads.09 khz low. Probably some old electrolytic caps could use replacement after almost 40 years, but its not far enough off for me to expend the effort (I just just tune to 7.1919 instead of 7.192). Ive got nothing but unrestrained praise for this radio. The audio is particularly pleasant compared to other ham radios Ive owned and used. It has plenty of bells and whistles and has been a solid performer since the day I bought it. It is the standard by which I judge all other radios Ive never found, used, or seen a radio that Id like better, including the latest generation of high-tech menu-driven wundermachines. ![]() CW Filter built in (although 600 hz) 3. PBT 4. Adequate receiver 5. WARC bands included I cant find a lot of fault with the radio as I have to base a review on the technology that at that time, was available, and avoid trying to compare it with a current model being offered today. Built in dual vfos allows for split, general coverage receive for when you want to SWL. At the time it was a do it all set for sensible money compared with a TS930s or an FT One. At the time, freshly licenced, everything was new to me so although I was hustled into buying it because a group deal had been negotiated dependent upon my cooperation, I nonetheless ran with it and loved it. Then it had to have a new photo-interrupter encoder under warranty. ![]() ![]() Lovely. Like many similar rigs from this era all needed one or more of the plastic trimmer caps replaced with ceramics then realigned. Really nice rig for its time frame when you consider it had all the filters from the get-go.
