Changing the Operating Mode
The VX-7R provides for automatic mode changing when the radio is tuned to
different operating frequencies. However, should an unusual operating situation arise
in which you need to change between the available operating modes (FM-Narrow, FM-
Wide, and AM), here is the procedure for doing so:
1.
Press the [MON/F] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set mode.
2.
Rotate the DIAL to select Menu Item (Basic Setup #4: RX MODE).
3.
Press the [MAIN] or [SUB] key to select the new channel step size. The available
selections are:
AUTO: Automatic mode setting per default values.
N-FM: Narrow-bandwidth FM (used for voice communication)
W-FM: Wide-bandwidth FM (used for high-fidelity broadcasting)
AM: Amplitude Modulation
4.
Press the PTT key to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

: Unless you have a compelling reason to do so, leave the Automatic Mode
Selection feature on so as to save time and trouble when changing bands. If you make a
mode change for a particular channel or station, you can always store that one channel
into memory, as the mode setting will be memorized along with the frequency
information.

Repeater Operation
Repeater stations, usually located on mountaintops or other high locations, provide a
dramatic extension of the communication range for low-powered hand-held or mobile
transceivers. The VX-7R includes a number of features which make repeater operation
simple and enjoyable.
Repeater Shifts
Your VX-7R has been configured, at the factory, for the repeater shifts customary in
your country. For the 50 MHz band, this usually will be 1 MHz, while the 144 MHz shift
will be 600 kHz; on 70 cm, the shift may be 1.6 MHz, 7.6 MHz, or 5 MHz (USA version).
Depending on the part of the band in which you are operating, the repeater shift may be
either downward (–) or upward (+), and one of these icons will appear at the top of the
LCD when repeater shifts have been enabled.
