Affordable handheld radios and accessories from www.handyradio.co.uk
One of my favorite radios, the Yaesu VX-7R is a very capable little radio. After a year's regular use I think very highly of this model. I much prefer this to the FT-60E which I had prior to the VX-7R. I have not put it under water (yet) just for a demonstration but I have used it in light rain and no problem at all. Only if it had 6.25k step I would be even happier.

Thanks, my British friend. i salivate every time I see this radio on KZfaq, because I only have the Chinese Baofeng radios. :-( Maybe someday when my ship comes in! 73's, AA8VA

I've got thr VX-6r and it's great for airband! It's actually as sensitive as my Icom A20, which is an airband radio. 73, G1DRP

about the belt clip its designed for to stay on your belt at all times u just turn the handset upside down and it comes free while the clip stays on belt and not on the set itself

220mhz is illegal to use in the UK, it is used by the MOD.

Yes this is truly the best an I'm a Baofengs radio fan .but the 6 meters included a. Yeasu is superior, is awesome ..an thank you for video as I can only find 5 o. This model an the only reason u found them was looking for the wouxon 6meters deul band which I thought was the only one around and didn't think we were allowed 50mhz HTs . So I can't believe it an will spend two week junk food an beer an I'm getting one..you know I'm still going to buy baofang radio all year too. But one of these to keep till I'm 90 or have a icon-705. But that's 4x bigger but transmits on 1khz to 1.6ghz 10 watt,with waterfall screen .2000 nzd ,best thing around...out

I just got a VX 7R yesterday for $20. I like the radio the problem is how do you turn the tone squelch off? I don’t know if you know this or not if you do the free band modification it will allow you to transmit on 220 also I got this radio through an estate. what kind of antenna were you using for 70 MHz?

I got a VX 7R radio yesterday. I paid 20 bucks for it. I got it through an estate. How do you turn the tone Squatch off on the radio? I love the radio it’s very nice. I should need to learn how to use it if you could help me, I would appreciate that. What antenna would you recommend me getting for the radio if I want to talk on 6 m ban when I got the radio it didn’t come with the original antenna. Should I get the original antenna or what do you recommend if you could get back to me I would appreciate it. Thank you.

What would you benefit from if You had 6.25K Steps? Beyond Xlint Video by the Way Vary Details and You are Vary voice Volume consistent making Vary easy to listen To, Do Share if You Were Granted That 6.25K Steps On Your VX-7R what it would help and What Band? :- :-) THANK YOU HandyRadio,

I'm 16 as well and I'd probably recommend a Baofeng UV-B5 for your first radio. Be sure to get a Nagoya NA-771 whip antenna and the programming cable. Once you get acquainted with ham radio and your local repeaters, think about upgrading to a Yaesu VX6R or the VX7R for a new, durable, lasting HT. The FT-60R is also great, but you it won't be as durable and waterproof like the VX series.

I own an vx7r but I cannot transmit on 70Mhz amateur band - It says txt error! I take it this is a optional mod that needs to be done. I'm going to look at the manual to see the coverage it has, ain't used mine much but probably the best handheld I own..

Mine must be modified when I bought it. It's showing TX ERROR for some other bands though. However it does TX continuously on 136-174 400-500MHz

I found one of these at a tent campsite in the woods... I guess the guys were away fishing or taking a piss or something... they must of forgot it was on... but i hear someone talk on it and found it... I couldn't get it to dial any telephone numbers, so I threw it away in the bushes on the walk back home... Haha, gotcha ;-)
