Thanks for all the responses.  It appears that the DJ-580 doesn't support this feature.  I thought it did since Criteria #5 at this site states that it does:  http://w4kwh.org/satellite-radios/

Hi,

I’m trying to configure my Alinco DJ-580 to work the LEO satellites and I can’t figure out how to store cross band splits in memory.   I would like to have five memory channels that have the same 2 meter transmit frequency with different 440 MHz frequencies to compensate for the Doppler Effect.   

I can program large frequency offsets using the “VFO MODE SPLIT” and the “MEMORY MODE SPLIT” described in the manual but only within the same band.  The radio will not accept a 440 MHz frequency when the VHF band is selected or vice-versa.  I’ve found a web page that states that the DJ-580 supports this feature but it didn’t provide any information on how to set it up.  Does anybody know how to do this?
