Dude,

VX7 = Dual Band and Dual Monitor ( meaning got 2 radios inside, both running together. Can be VHF+VHF or VHF+UHF or UHF+UHF) plus 6M HF( FM mode). You can put one freq on standby and scan another Freq. You can MUTE one when both are active to prevent mix up.
VX6 = Dual Band and can only run either VHF or UHF.

VX6 is smaller lighter and is a newer model from Yaesu made from magnesium with all the bells and whistles. Good unit
VX7 is thicker and heavier older model I believe 2001 and made from Magnesium. Its basically a Vx6 on steroid. Have known bugs.

To add to the confusion, VX8 have been released in Feb 2008 and would be available anytime from this month. Vx8 is a new version of Vx7 which is slimmer and adds options like GPS and Bluetooth.

Disclaimer : As with all Yaesu new models, beware of the 1st generation. Bugs yet to be ironed out.

Phone number I will PM to you.

santacruzer, if i were you i would not even bother explaining this ... its very simple, always google before asking, this is very easily answered by looking into specs you can get online ...

this is a forum dont expect to be spoon fed all the time ...

Is the result out? Any budget rigs beside home made? Thanks.

you dont really rigs nowdays anymore ...

2200 would be a very good entry level rig ...

Confirmed. If you notice all the old ham, you will always see either a 2200h or V8000 tuck away as a backup unit. These two entry level units are built to military spec and will give you years and years of fun. Bare basic radio with lots of history and work horses. I got a very very beat up V8000 inside my 4x4 tool box with all the spanners and so on. To be used as base camp station during outings and campings with the kids and scouts. or loan to "friends" who love to borrow stuff

dunno wat is taking mcmc so long to release the results..i guess a lot of candidates are eager to know their results.

can i boro ur v8k?

yalo ive been checking out the mcmc website everyday bt still no news!!

hahaaa

anyone will be announce it when the time is coming...

just in case nobody saw the mcmc announcement, the morse code test is out d can register d

When will be the next RAE registration?

so far there is no news from mcmc bout the next RAE test, moreover the previous RAE test result also haven't announced, will you be taking it also BingYao?? i will also be taking it, but hopefully it is during the end of nov, thats the only time i can take it after my finals exam, & have time to prepare for it

Have you started gathering the needed notes and information?
Keep in touch yah ~ but since its held biannually it could fall on next year omg..
