with extensive receive frequency coverage, provid-
ing leading-edge features for VHF and UHF two-
way amateur communications, along with unmatched
monitoring capability.
The VX-7R's small size allows you to take it any-
where – hiking, skiing, or while walking around town

tion, receive coverage of the AM (MF) and FM
broadcast bands, HF Shortwave Bands up to 16 MHz,

frequencies! Dual In-band Receive (V/V and U/U)
lets you keep track of two active frequencies. And
the optional Barometer pressure Sensor Unit provides
readout of barometric pressure and altitude while
mountain climbing or hiking, and it also generates a
Weather Forecast based on measured data.
The transmitter section provides 5 Watts of clean
power output on the FM operation on the 50 MHz,
144 MHz, and 430 MHz bands with the supplied
FNB-80LI Battery Pack, and 0.3 Watts output on
222 MHz, and 1 Watt of carrier output for AM op-
eration on 50 MHz. Both CTCSS and DCS tone sig-
naling formats are built into the VX-7R, in addition
