(I have added a 9 volt, pre-amp at my receive point on\nmy Arrow antenna) I program one memory channel, for the \"split freqs\" as\nyou said but then I use the \"memory tune\" function to work the FM birds.\n(ones with no tone) When you enable the memory tune function while using\nyour split frequency pair, you can then turn your tuning dial up and down to\nadjust for Doppler and just transmit as you like, this really works great\nand you only use one memory channel to work the pass. The only problem is\nthe VX-7R does not pass tones in the memory tune mode, to pass tones you\nhave to use your split freq memory channel (without using the memory tune\nfunction) or the VFO because for some reason memory tune does not allow you\nto pass tones. Ron @ customer service @ Yaesu did not believe me at\nfirst, he tested his test models, spoke to Japan and finally got back to me\nand acknowledged that the memory tune function, will not pass tones. For\nme the memory tune function is better on FM birds that do not require a tone\nbecause one programed memory channel, allows you to adjust for Doppler,\ninstead of 5 memory channels, each pre-programed for Doppler shift,\nrespectively being; 10+, 5+, 0, 5-, 10- over, at and below, the downlink\nfreq. \n\nI Love the VX-7R, mine has been indestructible and indispensible for all\nkinds of duty, almost 3 years old and the well-used, Lithium Ion battery\nworks as well today as it did new. I don't think the VX-7R has the most\ndiscriminating receiver in the history of hand helds but it's pretty good,\nwith a pre-amp, along with the Yaesu hand held mic, the rig allows me, good\nand lightweight working conditions, while working remote, as compared to my\nYaesu FT-897D rig.
