Hi!

In NZ, 440 repetaters use a minus offset as standard, except when some
simplex frequency isn't a cross-band link, hi hi.

Hmmmm, I thought the repeaters in the 440MHz used plus offsets.  If that =
is the case, since the THF6A uses what it considers "normal" offsets if =
you have it set to automatic offset, then you might need to manually =
change the offset if that repeater is an oddball.

Hi all, I am having trouble transmitting to two of our local repeaters =
(Bro=3D okling and Norwood, MA( while I have no trouble with two other
repeaters = (W=3D elsley and Newton MA). The one that is really giving me
issues is on = 446.32=3D 5. I am using a Kenwood TH-F6a. I have the tone set
to encode only = (first h=3D igh tone press of the 7 button on the kenwood)
and it is set to tone = number=3D
 24 with the Function (a) button plus the 7 button. I can hear the =
repeater=3D  with no problem. I have been told that that repeater uses a
negative = offse=3D t. Does the Kenwood set that automatically? Any ideas
what could be = causing=3D  this? I have tried transmitting on all three
power levels.
Thanks
