Scott,

I've been using crossband with my TH-F6A and TM-V71A for a few years now 
with great success.  You don't have to do anything to the HT for it to work; 
just make sure it's on the correct frequency and hit the PTT.  Some people 
like to set up a PL tone, but there's really no need unless you're getting 
interference that's keeping your crossband repeat open.

I set up some tone sequences in the DTMF memories for turning crossband on 
and off, and I'll be glad to tell you what I did if you're interested. 
Mostly, I just did it because I could, and I like being able to activate and 
deactivate crossband from the HT, but it's really not essential.

Steve
