| Chris at RC Heliworks will take care of you (see his advertisment on the RR home page and click on it).
Parts and all. There are very few upgrades for the Caliber 30 that are truly needed, by the way. Chris sells a nice set of adjustable links for the Caliber 30. The stock links are all fixed, not adjustable (with the exception of the two short links up on the main rotor grips). Chris' set is fully adjustable and more robust (stiffer) than the stock parts. But the stock parts work OK.
Asking for radio setups for a particular heli is somewhat useless, as no two machines end up being set up the same. You'll get close, but when setting up a heli, close may not be good enough.
If you have a pitch gauge and know how to use it, set up is relatively painless. If you don't have a pitch gauge, buy a good one and learn how to use it.
The key is to get the mechanical setup done correctly in the first place. Unless you do THAT, no one else's transmitter settings have any real meaning.
It's about the same as asking what other people are running for needle valve settings. They're not universal.
Use the CCPM (EMS) setup for your Caliber, don't bother with the MMS system.
That being said, here is a step by step setup instruction for getting the mechanical stuff on your Caliber 30 done right the first time:

My posts, the long ones with pictures.
The CCPM stuff was written around a JR 8103 radio, for the DX7 there is essentially no change in the instructions (especially when it comes to channels 2, 3, and 6 being the primary channels for the swash controls.
That same CCPM setup procedure here:
http://www.runryder.com/helicopter/t410466p1/ is a bit more concise and universal. Learn to do this setup once, you won't need to ask what others are doing ever again.
