Hi!
New Radio - fairly new ham. Computer experienced, military vet (helos) airline pilot - used to imbedded menus.
Trying to get 897D into Repeater mode and then set CTSS so I can participate in local nets.

Followed menus:

1) Press F key, then rotate Mem/VFO until RPT REV VOX appears
2) One press of "A" sets Minus Shift. And a '-' should appear.

The '-' does not show on the screen, BUT there is no 'beep' when I press the A button.
I have tried other menu modes and all the other menus work so far with a confirming 'beep' when I press an A,B, or C button.

Also cannot get into CTSS for same reason.

Someone mentioned that the machine might be in ARS mode (ARTS?) and that going back into ARS (?) and out might solve problem.

Thanks ALL
