: If you’re just talking to friends in the immediate area, you’ll get much longer
battery life by switching to Low Power operation. To do this, press the [MON/F] key,
then press the [%(TX PO LK)] key so that the “L” icon appears at the bottom of the
display. And don’t forget, always have an antenna connected when you transmit.
Transmission is not possible on any operating bands other than the 50 MHz, 144 MHz,
and 430 MHz bands.
Changing the Transmitter Power Level
You can select between a total of four transmitter power levels on your VX-7R. The
exact power output will vary somewhat, depending on the voltage supplied to the
transceiver. With the standard FNB-80LI Battery Pack and external DC source, the
power output levels available are:
HIGH
LOW 3
LOW2
LOW1
50/144/430 MHz FM
5.0 W
2.5 W
1.0 W
0.5 W
50 MHz AM
1.0 W (Fixed)
220 MHz FM
0.3 W (Fixed)
To change the power level:
1.
The default setting for the power output is “High;” in this configuration, the LCD
shows no indication of the power output level. Press the [MON/F] key, then press
the [%(TX PO LK)] key causes the power levels “L1,” “L2,” or “L3” appear.

Press the [MON/F] key, then press the [%(TX PO LK)] key until the “Low Power”
icon disappears will restore High Power operation.

: The VX-7R is smart! You can set up Low power on one band (like UHF), while
leaving VHF on High power, and the radio will remember the different settings on each
band. And when you store memories, you can store High and Low power settings
separately in each memory, so you don’t waste battery power when using very close-in
repeaters!
When you are operate on Low power setting, Press the [MON/F] key, then press the PTT
switch, the VX-7R temporarily.
VOX Operation
The VOX system provides automatic transmit/receive switching based on voice input
to the microphone. With the VOX system enabled, you do not need to press the
PTT
