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 MVT-7100 is very cleanly laid-out. 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 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. 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 top label of each row is on the key itself and the bottom label is below the key. You get the top function by pressing the key and the bottom function by first pressing the FUNC button and then they key. The

USB/LSB: 50 Hz, 100 Hz, 1 KHz, 5 KHz, 6.25 KHz, 9 KHz, 10 KHz, 12.5 KHz, 20 KHz, 25 KHz, 50 KHz and 100 KHz. The Light button illuminates both the display and the keyboard with a very nice greenish light. Alas, it only stays on while you hold down the button. 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?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. Morse code) transmissions. 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.
