The IC-RX7 features a water-resistant construction allowing it to be used outside in wet conditions. The IC-RX7 has a menu driven user interface and intuitive controls allowing the user to scan and manage their favourite frequencies.

The IC-RX7 has wide band reception of 0.150–1300.MHz which gives full access to everything from AM broadcast to UHF TV audio.

The IC-RX7 comes with preset memory channels. Select your desired listening subject and, with the push of the “Scan” button, the IC-RX7 automatically finds active channels within your area of interest. You can easily search for new active signals within a designated frequency range or fixed band with a push of the “Search” button. The auto memory write search function automatically stores detected channels in your memory.

Power on the go is easy, thanks to the IC-RX7’s ability to operate from a variety of power sources. The IC-RX7 has a BP-224 Lithium Ion battery pack, which provides 8 hours of continuous receive. An optional battery case is available allowing you to power the IC-RX7 with 3 alkaline cells. You may also power the radio via the DC jack with the standard BC-07 AC adapter or use the optional cigarette lighter cable, CP-18E. The DC jack allows for simultaneous battery charging while operating the radio.

With the optional cloning software, CS-RX7 programming and cloning is very easy. You can connect up the IC-RX7 to a PC so you can customise channel names, scan lists, and more. In addition, the CS-RX7 imports and exports data in “CSV” file format, which means you, can easily edit the memory contents with Microsoft Excel. A USB cable for connecting the IC-RX7 to the PC is supplied with the programming software.

The IC-RX7 comes complete with BC-07 UK battery charger, BP-244 Lithium Ion battery, antenna, belt clip, handstrap and a handbook.
