Vx-7r condensed manual

No 'freebanding', but works well. I think there are instructions for fabricating your own cable on around the web.

I very carefully re-read the manual that came with my VX-7R and it is possible to overwrite a used memory with new information - but it requires entering the frequency you want, telling it you want to save it and then selecting the memory to save it to within 5 seconds.

If you don't get to that memory in time - it writes it as a new entry! And the only way of getting to the memory is by rotary dial. Not good. And the manual isn't at all clear - it points you at writing a new memory only.

I'll check out the software packages that you mentioned and I appreciate you all taking the time to respond. G7HOK , Jun 16, Show Ignored Content. Share This Page.

First you have to take off the plastic cover, and then with a file, grind the metal off. Here I have grind off the metal so the plastic is visible. Do the around the connector. The connector should look like this. Note that there are some mark on the connector, this is from the vice. The diameter of the black plastic must not be over 5,0 mm, then you can't plug the connector into the VX-7R data jack. This cable have I used with the VX7 Commander software, and it is working very well.

If you are a VX-5R user you have to grind off some of the metal. Else you can't plug the connector correctly into the VX-5R. Take off the plastic cover and grind off the metal with a file, so the connector look like this. Make sure when you plug the connector into the VX-5R, that the plug can go into the recess. Cut 3 mm off the plastic cover and screw it back on the connector, then it look like this. Welcome to Www. Power supplies. Antenna tuners.

Ham resources. Controlling the memories and settings in the VX-7R is very hard, and you have not a general view. Here you have the jumpers that should be solder on the opposite side of the component. If you are a VX-5R used see here. It work fine, and here I give you my description with pictures. Note, that I have solder all the three conductors and the shield. To the data I use the white wire, but I have solder the other wires for other experience.
