Hello listeers,
I was at a Brille related conference last weekend in Denver, CO. It was a disappointing weekend conferning ham radio in two ways.

The downtown Marriott had so much metal in the building I couldn' hit any repeaters on two meters and be heard. That even with moving the HT closer to a window using high power and one of the Comet three band antennas.

440 was even worse. I think some areas must have a different repeater split because all I got whille attempting to transmit was the rig would beep telling me it wouldn't not transmit out of band.

How do I change this without affecting the splits on 2 meters and 220?

I did not bring along my Kenwood cheat sheet. I thought it might be the A key plus the number 8.

I didn't want to try anything for fear of messing up the rig and not being able to transmit on two meters again.

I was going to try again at the airport while waiting for my plane back to Sacramento but did not.

Any helpful observations or instructions on this would be welcome.

73,

Eric
