Garry Well I now know how its done. I went away from the frequency with my split off. Tuned up the linear, then came back to the frequency. Receive frequency was correct and transmit frequency was correct.. BUT I forgot to press the split button, I did notice and also got a DWN alert from someone. Thank you, who ever, for that. Will watch for that problem in the future. BTW I did get 7O6T.
