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.

Subject: Having trouble with two repeaters


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