I have VX7R black with all original paperwork and box.
Radio will not power up with the battery alone. The battery will charge, and
the radio will operate via 12v power supply on all bands. This is a great
little radio, but don't have the extra cash to get it repaired. Would make a
nice low power quad-band base or mobile.
$100 plus shipping.
Photo's available if interested.
