Tom,

The standard offset for 10 meters is 100KHz, and you have to set it up 
manually.  Here's how:

1.  With the radio in VFO mode, and FM selected, press the Split button, 
located immediately to the right of the Tuning knob in the second row down 
from the bottom of the display.

2.  Enter the receive frequency of the repeater (for example, 29.660).

3.  Press the A/B button (third from the left in the same row as the Split 
button).  Then enter the transmit frequency (29.500 fir the repeater from 
the example above).

4.  Press the A/B button again and key the repeater.

Depending on what repeater you use, you may have to enter tones, although 
the Dallas machine doesn't require them.  Consult the manual for the 
procedure for entering tones.

Since the setup for each repeater involves several steps, you may find it 
convenient to store your favorite repeaters in memories so you can quickly 
locate them in the future.  Good luck, and have fun on 10.

Steve
