[Icom] IC-u2AT MARS Offset Question.

[Dan Yemiola]

I vaguely remember that there was a function to set
two
independent frequencies in one of the channels. i.e.
you didn't set an offset, you programmed 143.99 RX and
148.01 TX and turned the offset function off for that
channel pair.
Unfortunately, I can't remember if this was for the
IC-u2AT,IC-02AT or the Yaesu FT-727. I have had one of
each and can't remember for sure.

I will look and see if I still have an old operators
manual around the shack.
