When the Magnum OmegaForce S45 radio is in the 10-Meter "default" mode (CON 1 or CON 2 jumped), pressing the "Function" button and then the "LCR" button will put the word "RPT" on the display with the Repeater Access Tone of 88.5 Hz (like other similar Magnum models such as the M-257). This feature, along with "SHIFT", is sometimes needed for the FM repeaters at the top of the band.

What's the Point? This feature was not printed under the "LCR" button on the face of the radio nor was it even mentioned in the Operating Manual. It is printed on the face of the M-257 and mentioned as a feature in that Operating Manual. A significant "oversight", I'd think (or am I "nit-picking"?). Time for an Owners Manual addendum? I guess only a ham would have noticed the omission.
