To Change Operating Bands
1.
Press the [BAND(BND DN)] key repetitively. You will see the LCD indication move
up as you press the [BAND(BND DN)] key.
2. If you wish to move down the operating band, press the [MON/F] key, then press
the [BAND(BND DN)] key.

7R uses a dual VFO system (explained in detail on page ??). To switch from
the “Main” VFO to the “Sub” VFO instantly, press the [SUB] key momentarily.
Pressing the [MAIN] key will return the VX-7R to “Main” VFO.
4. Once you have selected the desired band, you may initiate manual tuning (or
scanning) per the discussions below.

The VX- VX- VX- VX-7R 7R 7R 7R will initially be operating in the “VFO” mode, as just described. This is a
channelized system which allows free tuning throughout the currently-selected
operating band.
Three basic frequency navigation methods are available on the VX-

7R:
1) Tuning Dial
Rotation of the DIAL allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps established for the
current operating band. Clockwise rotation of the DIAL causes the VX- VX- VX- VX-7R 7R 7R 7R to be tuned
toward a higher frequency, while counter-clockwise rotation will lower the operating
frequency.
If you press the [MON/F] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL, frequency steps of 1
MHz will be selected. This feature is extremely useful for making rapid frequency
excursions over the wide tuning range of the VX-
VX- VX- VX-7R 7R 7R 7R.
2) Direct Keypad Frequency Entry
The desired operating frequency may be entered directly from the keypad.
The operating mode will automatically be set once the new frequency is entered via
the keypad.
To enter a frequency from the keypad, just press the numbered digits on the keypad in
the proper sequence. There is no “Decimal point” key on the VX-7R, so if the frequency
