Yaesu VX-7 Beltclip

[Tommahawk]

I am searching for a metal belt clip for the VX-7, but alas haven't come up with any solutions yet. Does anyone know if such a beast is available? There used to be the site that was specifically VX-5 mods that had belt clips but I even forget the name of that site as well.

If anyone knows something please... Let me know

Thanks - Joe

The gentleman that has tbe site http://home.comcast.net/~sllewd/index.html apparently is now a business for him and he no longer offers modifications or information on accessories......

I have a vx 7r also, Do you have issues with it locking up when you click it off the radio "Beltclip that is"?
I know mine, if you turn the radio to click it off the clip it sometimes would lock up the radio. Mine has not done it for a while cause I use my finger to depress the button.

I don't know about you, but I found the stock belt clip that came with my VX-7R to be a major pane in the sash! I ended up using the external speaker/mic and putting the radio itself into a belt-worn radio pouch. It's a police-type radio pouch I bought at a gun shop. That so far has been my best solution, and I can clip the pouch to my backpack and wear the mic on the shoulder strap if I want.

I believe the Yaesu model number for this clip is CLIP14.


I am not sure this is OEM, but the web site indicates it is for the VX-7R:

Here is one on ebay:

This one on ebay claims to be OEM, but seems a bit pricey ($14.50 USD):

I too was looking for a metal clip, but opted for the "clip 14" when I could not find a metal replacement.

Try checking with Vertex-standard instead of yaesu. I have a commercial vertex heavy duty clip on my vx-5 and it works great.

Hi,

I really need to ask this because I bought the clip-14 tonight, I put it on my VX-6R but then after I put the radio in the clip....it clicked...and now I don't know how to remove the radio from the clip. It seems like it's locked in there.

Sorry about the stupid question but I just don't know.

Turn the radio 180 degrees or upside down and it will clip out

These clips work great in a variety of situations. I don't know how I lived without mine before. The survivalist in me still wants thick machined aluminum though...
