I am told that there is a software mod for the vx-7r, do a google search for " Vx-7R software", try it you have nothing to loose and everything to gain

Yup, I did mine on the first try and it works like a charm. 40mhz to something like 500+. Check external sites for further detail. Heck, I'm sure you already know since you've tried to desolder. #4 pin is the one to do. Take that away and you've got freeband.
