In this video, I take the highly‑anticipated Vero VR‑N7600 and show you exactly how to program a repeater directly from the front panel — no phone app required!

We’ll go step‑by‑step through:
• Finding a local repeater (I’m in Montrose, Colorado for this demo)
• Setting up a 2m and 70cm FM channel
• Using the VR‑N7600’s new screen and interface
• Comparing it to the older VR‑N7500 experience

If you’ve been waiting to see the VR‑N7600 in action, this is it.
