TKR-850 experts, To save a trip out to the repeater site, could you answer the following question for me? Thanks.
On the TKR-850, by default one of the PF (programmable function) keys is set to "repeat disable/enable". I am using the 850 as a full time repeater. If that PF key is pushed, does the repeater become just a transceiver? If so, I might re-program it to "none" so that the repeat function doesn't get turned off by accident. Your thoughts? Also, do you know a way to have the squelch level set from the front panel?
