Yaesu VX-7R Triple-Band Transceiver Operating Manual

Description

These PDF operating and service manuals are for the Yaesu VX-7R Tri-Band 5W FM Transceiver.

Yaesu VX-7R / VX-7RB (Black) 50/144/430 MHz Triple-Band Ultra-Rugged Submersible Handheld 5 Watt FM Transceiver

The VX-7R is a miniature 3-band FM transceiver with extensive receive frequency coverage, providing leading-edge features for VHF and UHF twoway amateur communications, along with unmatched monitoring capability.
The VX-7R’s small size allows you to take it anywhere – hiking, skiing, or while walking around town – and its operating flexibility brings the user many avenues of operating enjoyment. Besides 50, 144, and 430 MHz transceive operation, the VX-7R provides 222 MHz QRP (0.3 Watts) transceive operation, receive coverage of the AM (MF) and FM broadcast bands, HF Shortwave Bands up to 16 MHz, VHF and UHF TV bands, the VHF AM aircraft band, and a wide range of commercial and public safety 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 operation on 50 MHz. Both CTCSS and DCS tone signaling formats are built into the VX-7R, in addition to Yaesu’s exclusive ARTSTM-(Auto-Range Transponder System), which “beeps” the user when you move out of communications range with another ARTSTM-equipped station.

We encourage you to read this manual thoroughly, so as to learn about the many exciting features of your exciting new Yaesu hand-held transceiver!
