Fixed this with no problems.? Just did a backup of the HT to my desktop using RT Systems VX-8 Programmer, did a factory reset of the HT (Hold Band, HM/RV, TX PO, keys down and power up the HT), then

Re: VX8r clock resets to 00
According to the maintenance manual, there is a rechargeble Li-Ion battery
just for the clock (as I see it. Not much further info) but rather thab

ADMS 1G software
I have dug out my vx7r after years of gathering dust. I always loved this radio, especially the battery life.
Anyway, I am looking to update the programming with the ADMS 1G software from RT Systems.

Re: ADMS 1G software
I contacted them directly and they sold me an updated version at a lower
price than new, also for a VX-7R. As long as you have the original serial
number it's practically no issue.

Re: ADMS 1G software
Nora,
My version is 5.00.05. Not sure if that is the latest. I upgraded in 2018. You might have to pay for the latest. I have used it with Windows 10.

Re: ADMS 1G software
All correct. My original version didn't even work on Win10, so had to buy
new. Then again, my version was XP variant. Was surprised they updated it.

VX-7R repairs?
Nice to see this list spring back to life.
I was using my VX-7R in my car as a scanner, and it was often hanging on odd channels.? I stopped using it because of that.
I wonder if there is still a

Re: VX-7R repairs?
Have you tried a factory reset? My VX-8R was not allowing me to make any
changes to menu items. A reset fixed it. I used RT Systems software to do
a full backup first then restored the data

Using as a scanner
I am interested in using it as a scanner, as well. Is it possible to monitor trunked systems in the 800 range? No idea how to program for a trunked system.

Re: Using as a scanner
No you can not scan trunked systems. At best the VX7r is closer to an
analog scanner of the 1980's. It will scan the channles you put in, at a
relative slow rate. However, in many areas, such as where

Re: Using as a scanner
You would be better off using an SDR (like the RTL-SDR) and appropriate
software if you want to scan trunked systems. Start at www.rtl-sdr.com and
work from there. You'll find all the info you
