VX-7R OPERATING MANUAL68
The VX-7R can display various information provided by internal sensors. Available selec-
tions are “Current Time,” “Battery Voltage,” “Temperature,” and “Audio Wave-form.”
Also, when the optional Barometric Pressure unit (SU-1) is installed, you get the unique
capability of providing readout of the current barometric pressure. This information is then
used for calculation of your current altitude and weather forecast.
The Barometric Pressure unit requires calibration of the “offset” parameters, so that differ-
ences in pressure can be used to calculate altitude. This procedure requires that you have a
calculated barometer, and that you know your current altitude. If you are at sea level, of
course, the latter parameter requires no research.
The Sensor mode can only display while the VX-7R is operating in the Mono
band mode (except the Weather Forecast mode). The internal sensor mea-
sures continuously unless the Sensor mode is disabled.
To display the sensor information:
1. Press the key, then press the key to enter the Set Mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL to select the Menu Item labeled (Mea-
surements #1: SENSOR DISPLAY).
3. Press the or key to select the sensor mode you
wish to display.
TIME: Indicates the current time.
DC: Indicates the battery voltage and battery
type.
TEMP: Indicates the current temperature inside
the transceiver’s case.
WAVE: Depicts the (RX and TX) audio wave-
form.
BARO: Indicates the Barometric Pressure and
relative changes in the pressure (two bars
per hours) (requires SU-1).
ALTI: Indicates the Altitude (requires SU-1)
WX: Indicates the Weather Forecast (requires
SU-1).
OFF: Disables the sensor information.
4. Press the PTT key momentarily to exit to normal
operation and display the sensor information on
the display.
To disable the display of sensor information, repeat the above procedure, pressing the
or key to select OFF in step 3 above.
