Drove around a bit near my home and was able to KERCHUNK one repeater about 6.5 miles away.
I set up this radio manually, using the corresponding RPT channel. I added the CTCSS TX code only. I then saved the channel to another memory slot. I re-verified the original RPT channel to make sure it did not store the codes, and it DiD NOT. Also, by using the corresponding RPT channel, the offset was already set and when the mic button was pressed it DID display the proper 467 frequency.
All appears to be working.
