Kevin:

You guys are now getting me interested in trying a 10-meter repeater contact 
myself when band conditions allow.

I have two questions, and hopefully, others will benefit from whatever 
answers I get:

1.  What is the standard off-set for 10 meter repeaters?

and

2.  Does the TS590 automatically enter those off-sets when you program a 
10-meter repeater into the rig, or must that be done manually?

Thanks, and 73 from Tom Behler:  KB8TYJ
