Yup, manually entering the shift worked just fine.

So, I can now get into the new 440 repeater withno problem.

Wonder why the auto-repeater function doesn't work on 440?

Check your shift with the reverse key.  I'm not sure it is smart enough to
know which direction to go.  Hit reverse and then check receive freq.
  function reverse to change.  If you have to do it twice, function reverse
each time.
