The channel and frequency digits are very large and easy to see. The MVT-7100 uses a large LCD display to show the channel number, the frequency, andvarious annunciators. This sound can be turned off, if desired. When the beep feature is turned on, the scanner gives a variety of audio feedback when you press a key. The keys are relatively large size for a scanner this small and are very easy to press. The arrow buttons, along with the tuning knob, are used for stepping through memory and selecting mode and step increments. The ^ and v symbols represent up and down arrows. You get the top function by pressing the key and the bottom function by first pressing the FUNC button and then they key. The top label of each row is on the key itself and the bottom label is below the key. The keyboard is arranged in a 5 X 5 matrix. The MVT-7100 has a 15db attenuator feature built-in, but you select it with a keyboard combination, rather than with a separate button. The belt clip attaches on the back and the battery compartment opens from the back. Both the earphone jack and the power plug are also on the right side of the unit. On the right side of the unit, you'll find a small hook which is where you attach the wrist strap. It locks everything except the volume and squelch controls and the light and monitor buttons. The Keylock performs the usual keyboard lockout of functions. The Monitor button immediately opens the squelch fully, allowing you to stop on a weak signal, without worrying about the scanner resuming its search or scan. When will scanner manufacturers design their products with a method of letting the user keep the light on, especially when plugged into a power source? Alas, it only stays on while you hold down the button. The Light button illuminates both the display and the keyboard with a very nice greenish light. There is also a small hole which contains a reset switch. On the left side of the unit are three recessed buttons: a momentary light button, a monitor button, and a keylock switch. The top of the unit contains a BNC connector for the antenna, a knob for On/Off and volume, a knob for squelch control, and a tuning knob, which is used for a variety of functions. The MVT-7100 comes with an AC adaptor, a set of four nicad batteries (Hitachi 600 mAh), a car cigarette lighter adaptor, a belt clip, a wrist strap, an earphone, and a telescoping antenna with a pivot BNC mount. The 7100 is a real lightweight, weighing in at only 11.5 ounces, without the antenna, but with the batteries and belt clip. It is just slightly taller than the Radio Shack PRO-43, otherwise it is about the same size. The MVT-7100 is approximately 6.5 inches high, 2.5 inches wide, and 1.5 inches deep, minus the antenna and belt clip. It offers ten individual search banks with the ability to lock out up to 500 frequencies during a search. The 7100 has 1,000 scan channels organized in ten banks of 100 channels each and one additional dedicated channel for priority. The MVT-7100 is a small, lightweight scanning receiver, offering continuous coverage from 100 KHz to 1.65 GHz! It will receive AM, FM, WFM (wide-FM), USB (upper sideband), LSB (lower sideband), and CW (continuous wave i.e. The 7100 adds substantial increase in capability over the 7000, primarily by dramatically increasing the number of scan channels, expanding the overall frequency coverage, and including sideband reception. The MVT-7100 is the latest offering in continuous-coverage handheld scanners by Yupiteru, coming on the heels of its very successful and well-received MVT-5000 and MVT-7000 scanning receivers.
