[Icom] IC-u2AT MARS Offset Question.

[Gary V. Smith]

Okay, I'll try this again.  I got a reply from ICOM (see below), but it was 
no help.  I'm re-posting this message to a wider audience in hopes of 
finding someone who remembers how this is done.

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.
