Hi Julie, I have not seen another list response. Perhaps you got direct responses?
The split mode is not necessary for a repeater. See page 29 of the manual. I dial in the repeater on one of the VFOs, switch to FM mode, then push the Alt key ( hold down mode key) multiple times until it switches to the + or - offset I want. When I key the mike the VFO displays the offset transmit freq then goes back to the receive freq when I let off the PTT. Separately is an offset setting but as I remember it was defaulted correctly. The squelch on my K3 is the RF/SQL knob. Setup on page 53 or around there. 73, tom n4zpt On 3/14/2012 4:51 PM, Julie Royster wrote: > Hi from KT4JR, wife of K4MWE, and new co-owner of a K3 with 144mHz > transverter built in.
