Hi Tom,
The standard offset is 100 kHz and no, the 590 does not automatically put in
this split. I set up repeaters in memories using split channels. The
receive frequencies for the repeaters are 29.620, 29.640, 29.660 and 29.680.
Your transmit frequency should be 100 kHz lower and using a tone of 88.5.
The FM simplex frequency is 29.600 with no tone of course.
I hope this helps and very 73.
Kevin :)

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
