VX-7R memory and hyper-memory systems :

Sporting the most memory capability of any Amateur transceiver, the VX-7 includes over 900 memory channels of one kind or another, yet access is simple and intuitive, thanks to 8-character Alpha-Numeric labeling capability, so you never miss any of the excitement stored inside. These memories include:


Yaesu VX-7 memory system resources

The VX-7 usually stores, into memory, the operating frequency and some aspects of operating status (such as CTCSS/DCS data, repeater shift, power level, etc.). However, the "Hyper Memory" Mode allows you to store the total current configuration of the radio into a special "Hyper" memory bank. For example, a Hyper Memory location may store the frequencies of both the "Main" and "Sub" bands, plus Spectrum Scope operational status, Scanning features, etc.
