Garrett,

There might be a typo someplace. I have never seen a span that large between input and output frequency. Not saying it's not true, just never has seen it.

In the 2m band depending on the repeater output frequency the shift can be + or -. In the radio each band will have an offset frequency setup for each band. Common is .6MHz for 2m and 5MHz for 70cm. In the 70cm band the shift is always +. That offset frequency can be changed if needed if your local uses something different.

Deep in the manual will be the steps outlined to setup a frequency for repeater operation. The + / - selection could be automatic based on frequency you have keyed if that feature is enable. The offset frequency is deeper in the menus, because you generally don't have to change it.

Hope that helps...

P.S. Check the Kenwood site for the operation manual. Looks like the supplied paper version is light-weight on repeater operation. Down load the CDROM version. First section has all the details you need.
