YAESU'S VX-7R:
THE WORLD'S FIRST SUBMERSIBLE
AMATEUR HAND-HELD
VX-7R
50/144/430 MHz 5 Watt FM Transceiver
(50 MHz AM: 1W; 222 MHz FM: 300 mW
(USA version Only)
)
With continuous AM/FM reception coverage of 500 kHz to 999 MHz
(cellular frequencies are blocked and non-restorable), the VX-7R is
ideal for monitoring HF shortwave broadcasts, the AM and FM
Broadcast bands, plus a wide variety of Marine, Public Safety, and
Government bands. And special memory banks for the Weather,
Marine, and Shortwave bands make station selection effortless!
The VX-7R is supplied with a super-long-life 7.4 V, 1300 mAh
Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (FNB-80LI), providing many hours of
operation and reliable charging without the "memory" effects
that can plague other battery types. With the optional CD-15A
Charging stand and NC-72B/C AC Adapter, the FNB-80LI
may be charged in as little as 2.5 hours, so you’ll quickly be
ready for more operating action! And the optional FBA-23
Alkaline Battery Case will accept two "AA" batteries (not
supplied) for low-power emergency
operation. The VX-7R’s EXT DC jack
will also accept 12 Volts from the
NC-72B/C directly (RX only), or from
an external power supply.
Utilizing a reliable FET power amplifier circuit, the VX-7R provides
a full 5 Watts of power output on the 50, 144, and 430 MHz
Amateur bands, with bonus coverage of the 222 MHz band at 300
mW (
USA version Only)
of power output. And for 6-meter AM
enthusiasts, you also get 1 Watt of carrier power on the 50 MHz
band! Four power levels may be selected, for optimum battery life.
Ideal for operation on modern repeater systems, the VX-7R includes
built-in Encoder/Decoder circuits providing 50 CTCSS (Subaudible)
tones and 104 DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) codes. Adding to the
versatility is provision for using "mixed" tone/code configurations
(CTCSS for TX, DCS for RX, or vice-versa)
Utilizing the DCS capability of the transceiver, the ARTSTM
feature provides audio and/or visual confirmation that another
ARTS-equipped station is within communication range. If you are
in search-and-rescue operation, and get out of range of the base
station, ARTS will warn the base operator to advise you to move to
a better location.

Protected against water ingress by a wide array of rubber gaskets
and other weatherproofing techniques, the VX-7R is rated for 30
minutes of submersion at a depth of 3 feet (JIS-7), a tough
magnesium body with rubber bumper pads, making it ideal for
outdoor use. Plus you get Dual Receive, 50/144/430 MHz operation,
wide-band receive coverage, a full color status indicator Strobe,
wide-band receive coverage, a full color status indicator Strobe,
and an "Internet" key for quick access to the exciting new WIRES

Dual Receive: V-V/U-U/V-U/GEN-HAM
Wide Frequency Coverage
Long Battery Life and Multiple Power Sources
The VX-7R is capable of four modes of Dual Receive, including
simultaneous reception on (1) two VHF frequencies; (2) two UHF
frequencies; (3) one VHF and one UHF frequency; or (4) one
"General Coverage" frequency and one "Ham" frequency. And
when a call is received on the "Main" band, you can set up the VX-
7R to reduce the audio level on the "Sub" band, if you like!
THE BEST OUTDOOR HANDIE EVER
Unmatched Weatherproofing
The VX-7R case, keypad, speaker, and
connectors are carefully sealed to protect
the internal circuitry against water
damage. And the optional CMP460A
Speaker/Mic, like the transceiver itself,
is rated for 30 minutes of submersion
at a depth of up to three feet!
