Our club's repeater has an odd offset.  TX is 146.475 and receive is 147.420 (- 0.945).  Getting this programmed with the K144XV has proven to be a problem.

*  The menu option for repater offset does not allow a 5 KHz change.  I can pick only .940 or .950

*  I can program the K144XV for split operation, with the TX frequency in VFO B.  That works fine, but . . .

*  When I save this combination into memory, it does not retain the split.  When I recall the frequency from memory, I have to manually enable split again.  This is not a huge deal, but it seems to me it should save the split.

Any ideas of a way to work around this problem?

Thanks,

John, WA6L
