Subject: [Yaesu] New VX-7R owner with questions


> I have just purchased a VX-7R which should be here by
> the end of the week, and am really looking forward to
> getting it up and going.  I hope that I like it as
> much as the VX-5R which it is replacing.  I really
> like the idea of dual receive and waterproofing.
>
> I am interested in any comments that list members
> might have about the VX-7R, good or bad, and have a
> couple of questions:
>
> 1. I heard that there is a software mod to increase
> the power on 222 mhz to 1.5 watts.  Is this true?  If
> so, how is it done, and has anyone noticed any ill
> effects from it?
>
> 2. It seems that many of the early models suffered
> from low transmit audio.  Has this been fixed?  Is
> there a way to fix it?  I really don't want to poke a
> hole in the mic membrane, because then it isn't
> waterproof anymore.  I am hoping for a less drastic
> fix, if necessary.
