So, the only time specifying the exact offset would be for odd split repeaters. Note the offset indicator after the TOFF & T156 (the offset should have a space on both sides). </span><span style='color:#376092;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#376092;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'>If the repeater is narrowband the 'T' should be lowercase (tOFF or t156). If the repeater transmits the PL tone it should be C156 (c156 for narrowband). </span><span style='color:#376092;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#376092;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'>Since the 2m side of the D710 has auto offset the indicator on the object isn’t actually necessary – unless a user has the auto offset turned off. I would recommend using the offset indicator for 2m regardless just for consistency. For the 70cm side though the offset indicator is required. Having the frequency listed in full at the beginning of the payload will enable the frequency display on the D710’s station list on the right side.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Hope this helps…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Richard<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
