Hello,
My friend has a VX-7R (European version) that he is willing to sell
to me for a good price. I live in the US and am aware that the
European verison will not initially work on the frequencies I need to
work on here in the US. I was wondering if I use the freeband mod for
it, will it then be a good radio for me to use here in the US? How is
the VX-7R Us verison that has freeband mod different from the European
version with freeband?

Thanks.
