reasonably high location or are close to a local
repeater, try using the LOW transmit power
setting. This reduces the transmitter power from
5 Watts to 1 Watt, effectively tripling the ‘talk’
time available.
Single Channel Operation:
The TX7000 draws
more power from the battery when scanning
than when monitoring a single channel. This is
because it must wake more often to monitor
each channel for activity. You can squeeze that
extra bit of life from the battery by avoiding any
unnecessary scanning.

The TX7000 is fitted with sockets to allow
connection of the optional MC6000 speaker
microphone or HS7000 headset with boom
microphone. When plugged in, these devices
provide full remote speaker, microphone and
push-to-talk facilities (the internal speaker and
built-in microphone will be temporarily
disabled).
To fit the external headset or speaker
microphone, first unscrew and remove the
antenna. Plug the headset or speaker
microphone into the sockets on the radio’s top
panel. Fit the retaining bracket over the antenna
socket and refit the antenna. Tighten the
antenna firmly to clamp the retaining bracket
and headset/speaker microphone plug. This will
prevent the plug from being inadvertently
detached from the radio. Use only the specified
models. Other brands of headset or speaker
microphone will provide reduced performance
or may not work at all.
Alternatively, you may wish to connect an 8
Ohm extension speaker to the speaker output
socket.
