The VX- VX-VX- VX-7R 7R7R 7R’s small size allows you to take it anywhere - hiking, skiing, or while walking around town, and its operating flexibility brings the user many avenues of operating enjoyment. Besides 50, 144, and 430 MHz transceive operation, the VX- VX-VX- VX-7R 7R7R 7R provides receive coverage of the AM (MF) and FM broadcast bands, HF Shortwave Bands up to 16 MHz, VHF and UHF TV bands, the VHF AM aircraft band, and a wide range of commercial and public safety frequencies! And the optional Barometer pressure Sensor Unit provides readout of barometric pressure and altitude while mountain climbing or hiking. The transmitter section provides 5 Watts of clean power output on the FM operation on the 50 MHz, 144 MHz, and 430 MHz bands with the supplied FNB-80LI Battery Pack, and 0.2 Watts output on 430 MHz, and also 1.0 Watts output on AM operation on 50 MHz. A wide variety of tone signaling formats are built into the VX- VX-VX- VX-7R 7R7R 7R, in addition to Yaesu’s exclusive ARTS TM -(Auto-Range Transponder System), which “beeps” the user when you move out of communications range with another ARTS TM -equipped station. We appreciate your purchase of the VX- VX-VX- VX-7R 7R7R 7R, and encourage you to read this manual thoroughly, so as to learn about the many exciting features of your exciting new Yaesu hand-held transceiver!

Intelligent-Beam (I-Beam) Intelligent-Beam (I-Beam)Intelligent-Beam (I-Beam) Intelligent-Beam (I-Beam) The Intelligent-Beam (I-Beam) is the unique indicator which indicate the transceiver’s status. The I-Beam glows Red during transmission, glows Green when a Main band signal is being received (of sufficient strength to open the noise squelch), glows Blue when a Sub band signal is being received (of sufficient strength to open the noise squelch), and glows Orange when a both (Main & Sub) bands signal are being received (of sufficient strength to open the noise squelch). Also, the I-Beam flash by various color while emergency operation. You may customize the I-Beam color by the menu mode.

At first, bench tests were performed to locate the spurious emissions at the antenna terminals. 2. In the field, tests were conducted over the range shown, The test sample was set up on a wooden turntable above ground, and at a distance of three meters from the antenna connected tot he Spectrum Analyzer. 3. In order to obtain the maximum response at each frequency, the turntable was rotated, and the search antenna was raised and lowered. The EUT was also adjusted for maximum response. Tests were conducted in Horizontal & Vertical polarization modes. 4. The field strength was calculated from: EμV/m@3m=Log 10 -1 (dBμV + A.F. + C.L.) 20 5.
