Sorry all, I'm re-sending this because I think I have a problem with my
Outlook settings.  There lots of odd characters in my last few postings.
Here goes again.

For what it's worth, my stratigy for programming a new radio is I simply
put in all the repeater pairs possible for 2 meters.  I realize not all
areas use the same repeater spacings but so far this has worked for me.
There are a total of 73  repeater pairs if you consider the following.
145.11 - 145.49 every 20 khz = 20 repeaters
146.61 - 147.39 every 15 khz = 53 repeaters

Of course this only works if your radio has enough memory but since we are
talking about the v7 then no problem.  My T90, VX-2R  and the IC-2100 in
the car are all programmed the same, so no matter which radio I'm using I
know, for example, that memory 44 is 146.955 (a popular repeater in this
area).  

I use a simular strategy for UHF, but I only program the local repeaters.
The UHF memories of the V7 are the same in the T90.  So UHF memory #1 on
the V7 is Memory 401 on the T90 and the T90 UHF repeaters are in their own
bank
