ive got a gripe and ill post it here. i had/have icon 706,7000 ,y450d and ic7300. all can be set for repeater operation and these and others im sure can be mistuned by bumping the big knob. i think any repeater freq should be entered just like an ht, software locked so i cant bump tune it off freq.
i know you can do a push button or mechanical knob lock but thats an unnecessary pia when the program freq could easily be set up just like an ht .
i never use my mobile 7000 for 2 or 450 mainly for that reason. ive got fixed radio for repeaters.
a simple menu item would fix this and we all know how they love to load up menus!
with so much memory available they could put in banks of the most regular repeater freqs in so you could ez pick what you want and make your mem bank for each band.
this seems like an ez thing the mfgrs miss.
