Fortunately, the PL tones talk, so I know I have those right. That's one of
the main reasons I got this particular one, being able to set the tones
independently. maybe tomorrow I'll ask around as to the location of some of
these repeaters. If I just plain can't hit them, that's one thing, but if
it's an antenna problem, I'd like to find out, somehow.

Hi Christy.
I suspect that you might have an easier time if you got the programming
cable for the '707 and downloaded the programming software from Kenwood. I
found that to really take the guesswork out of programming the memories and
PL tones. By the way, if the PL tones aren't set correctly, that could
also be a reason why you aren't getting in on 70 cm. Wish that I lived
near enough to help you get set up, as I find that radio to be one of the
more usable radios once you get the knack. Of course, as I've commented
elsewhere recently, really all you have to do is get everything loaded into
memories and then it is simple as turning the memory channel knob.
