Bob:
The off-sets for the local 2-meter repeaters that he would use are all the
common 600 KHZ offsets. I can program them into my THF6A with no problem at
all.
As for whether he's transmitting on simplex or duplex, my son says he's
transmitting on duplex, but I could never copy him on either the repeater
input or output.
Really strange!
Again, the rig transmits fine on 440.
