[Icom] IC-756PRO 6m Repeater-Memory Operation

[Jim Gerke]

George,

Unfortunately, the 756, 756Pro, and probably the 756Pro2, do not store
repeater offset information in memory. Recalling the receive frequency
stored in a memory and then pressing and holding the Split button is the
only way to do it.

It would have been nice to have everyhting stored but that's not the way
it was implemented.
