We had more requests for this than any other FM/repeater-related change, so apparently there are lots of legacy repeaters still in use out there.

The new "live" memory recall (M>V) is also useful with repeater channels. 73, Wayne On Oct 6, 2009, at 1:19 PM, Julian, G4ILO wrote: > > > Toby Deinhardt wrote: >> >> I am sure that it will work as implemented, but transmitting a 500ms >> beep every time one starts to transmit would be overkill.
