D Duplex direction (DUPLEX)
Sets the duplex direction. The displayed frequency shifts
the programmed frequency in offset frequency at right when
monitor function is in use (while pushing [CLR SQL]).
• +DUP : The displaying frequency shifts up during moni-
tor.
• –DUP : The displaying frequency shifts down during
monitor.
• OFF : Simplex operation. (default)
Simplex operation Positive duplex operation
D Offset frequency (OFFSET FREQ)
Sets the duplex offset frequency for each frequency band
independently within 0 to 159.995 MHz range. During duplex
operation (–DUP or +DUP), the monitoring frequency (while
[CLR SQL] is pushed) shifts the set frequency.
The default value may differ according to the selected fre-
quency band (before accessing menu screen) and receiver
version.
The selected tuning step at next column (right page) is
used for the offset frequency setting.

The tuning step can be selected for each frequency band,
however, the tuning steps, 8.33 kHz and 9 kHz, are ap-
peared when setting the tuning step for the VHF air band
and AM broadcast band, respectively. The following tuning
steps are available for the IC-RX7.
• 5.0 kHz • 6.25 kHz • 7.5 kHz • 8.33 kHz • 9.0 kHz
• 10.0 kHz • 12.5 kHz • 15.0 kHz • 20.0 kHz • 25.0 kHz
• 30.0 kHz • 50.0 kHz • 100.0 kHz • 125.0 kHz • 200.0 kHz
AUTO tuning step is available for USA version only.
Auto tuning step 5 kHz tuning step
D Receiving mode (MODE)
Receiving modes are determined by the modulation of the
radio signals. The receiver has 3 operating modes: FM, WFM
and AM modes. The mode selection is stored independently
in each band and memory channels.
Typically, AM mode is used for the AM broadcast stations
(0.495–1.620 MHz) and air band (118–135.995 MHz), and
WFM is used for FM broadcast stations (76–107.9 MHz).
AUTO mode is available for USA version only.

D Voice squelch control (VSC)
This function is useful when you don’t want unmodulated
signals pausing or cancelling a search/scan. When the voice
squelch control function is activated, the receiver checks
received signals for voice components. If a received sig-
nal includes voice components, and the tone of the voice
components changes within 1 sec., search/scan pauses (or
stops). If the received signal includes no voice components
or the tone of the voice components does not change within
1 sec., search/scan resumes.

D AM antenna selection (AM ANTENNA)
This setting is active only for the AM broadcast band, 0.495–
1.620 MHz (differ according to version) reception.
• EXT-DX : Use the antenna connected to the an-
tenna connector, and then received sig-
nals are bypass the RF filter.
• EXT-LOCAL : Use the antenna connected to the an-
tenna connector, and then received sig-
nals are filtered by the RF filter.
• BAR : Use the internal bar antenna for AM
broadcast band reception. (default)
The RF filter for EXT-LOCAL does not only reject the in-
terference, but also reduce the receive sensitivity. Thus
selecting EXT-LOCAL is effective when the desired signal
is strong enough and some interference exist near the
signal.
D FM antenna selection (FM ANTENNA)
This setting is active for all band, but it is mostly effective
only for the FM broadcast band, 76.000–107.995 MHz (differ
according to version) reception. Thus it may cause the inter-
ference for other band’s that this setting is ON and when an
earphone is connected.
• EXT : Use the antenna connected to the an-
tenna connector. (default)
• EARPHONE : Use the connected earphone’s cable as
the antenna for FM broadcast band recep-
tion.

■ Tone/DTCS squelch operation
D Tone and DTCS squelches
The tone squelch (CTCSS) or DTCS squelch opens only
when receiving a signal containing a matching subaudible
tone or DTCS code, respectively. You can silently wait for
calls from group members using the same tone or code.
D Reverse tone/DTCS squelch
The reverse tone/DTCS squelch is convenient if you want
to ignore a specific signal. The receiver mutes the squelch
when a signal with the matched tone or code is received.
“TSQL-R” / “DTCS-R” is displayed when the reverse tone/
DTCS is set.
D Pocket beep
These functions use subaudible tones or DTCS codes for
calling and can be used as a “common pager” to inform you
that someone has called while you were away from the re-
ceiver.
