Thanks Ed, It does the off set in the VFO for analog only. It does not work when the radio is in DV on the VFO. It might be an Icom "feature". I just learned to set the frequency in analog, it will do the off set and the I turn on the DV mode. I had programmed a D-Star repeater in and set everything up, then I couldn't get the gateway nor the repeater to work. Upon closer examination I found the off set was not on and then redid the memory channel. I tried it in each of the repeater pair ranges later and found the same quirk/feature. It's not worth shipping back. If that is the only problem I have had with the radio I'll leave it the way it is.... Carl, kb1ejh

What you have to look at is the range of the auto-offset. The instruction manual of the U82 shows the following: Frequency range Duplex direction 145.200–145.495 MHz “–” appears 146.610–146.995 MHz 147.000–147.395 MHz “+” appears 442.000–444.995 MHz “+” appears 447.000–449.995 MHz “–” appears So a repeater with a frequency of 445.X won’t have the duplex automatically set. Doesn’t matter whether it is FM or DV.

I am registered but have found conflicting frequencies listed. I am trying to find out if W3EOC Port C (70 cm) is on 445.006875 or 445.075 or 445.06875 have found these frequencies listed. I have an IC-U82, Yes I Know it's first generation, but have had the HT for a while and like it. I plan to use it for local D-STAR. And yes I Googled for information and that's why I ask. Thanks for your time, Tom Kb3hg
