Yaesu VX-7 Commander

The VX-7 Commander application is a software package for programming the Yaesu VX-7.

A programming cable is required to interface with a PC.

Programming

You must open a profile file for the radio before any importing can occur. If you have not downloaded the radio for the first time, you should do that first and save that file.

  1. Power the radio off.
  2. Connect the programming cable to the “MIC/SP” plug on the top of the radio (pro-tip: Remove the antenna to make this easier).
  3. Power the radio by pressing the [MON-F] and [POWER] buttons at the same time until “CLONE” appears on the screen.
  4. Select the COM Port in the application by selecting [Settings] » Port (pro-tip: Check the Device Manager to confirm the COM Port number.
  5. Prepare the software to receive a download from the radio by selecting Transfer » Read from VX-7.
  6. Press [BAND] on the radio to begin the transfer.

A progress box will appear as the radio is downloaded.
