Yeah, because there isn't a dedicated 220 PA in there, and so they're
just driving the regular VHF PA real hard off to one side. The VX8 does
the same thing, but defaults to letting you run more power. An optimist
might say that the RF bits between the two radios are similar and thus
it's okay on the VX7. However, it's already kinda working out of spec
and driving it harder is asking for trouble, IMHO.
