[Icom] IC-u2AT Offset Question.

[Gary V. Smith]

I'm posting this again because it appears that at the time of the original 
post I wasn't receiving the reflector messages.  I'm now plugged back 
in.  Thanks.

Dear List Members,

I sent this to ICOM tech support, but I thought I'd try to jog your 
collective memories and maybe get a response a little sooner.

I've recently started using my IC-u2AT again after several years of using 
more recent technology HTs. Out of a need for simplicity of operation my 
old u2AT fits the bill. However, I need to be able to set the HT for the 
primary Army MARS 2m repeater set of 143.990/148.010. When I was using the 
u2AT some years ago I remember that the MARS frequency pair had to be 
placed in either memory 0 or 1. I have no problem setting the frequency 
pair, but I think I remember that there was a way to have the 4.02 MHz 
offset required for MARS in the one memory location while still maintaining 
the standard .600 MHz offset for standard repeater operations in the other 
memory locations. I just can't remember how to do that now and the manual 
doesn't speak clearly to this. Must be that age thing..hi..hi.

Any help refreshing my memory (no pun intended) would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I also have an IC-2AT and would like to know how to set the MARS 
offset on it, if that's possible.
