As I recall, the last memories in the A and B banks can be used for odd
splits. You program the RX side in the A bank and the TX side in the channel
in the same position on the B bank and then put the offset switch in the AxB
position. This is a little hazy, but used two PCS-4000's for years on a
4.25MHz split when I was in CAP. 73,

Jonsey,
Tnx for the hopeless info. Manual gone with the kitty litter!!!!
this used one I got works okay, its just that I was'nt sure how to
store the freqs in the various channels. BTW I switched it on this
morning and wow there was the last chnl I installed stareing me in
the face, so the internal battery must be of a rechargeable kind.
I had it on all day yesterday so I guess the internal battery took
a charge okay overnight.

Ya, but.... Don't rxpect it to necessarily _hold_ a charge --
for very long. If you don't know the provenance of the battery,
just replace it.

One question. Do you remember if odd splits can be stored??

Nope. Dunno.
I had no need to ever attempt that. So, I never tried it.

It's been 7 or more years since I last 'played' with it. It
died on me just about the time I swore of ever wasting my time
with 2M FM again.

I hope you get it all squared away, Joe.
Aloha es 73

well I have figured out just about everything without a manual after
all. I still dont know how to setup an odd rptr split (if its even
possible or not). I can do so with the old PCS3000 I had. I am happy
with what I have been able to do like storeing the fqcys, and so far
they are holding up nicely with power off, so alls well that ends
well.

Hey Kevin, thats exactly the info I needed I do believe.
Am saving your msg to my bfr so can print it out. Thats great!!!
for afmars they have a 142.150 (up) and 143.450 (down) so the
split is odd, but your info can do the trick will check it out.
army mars of which I have been a part of since aars days
has the usual simple 148.625 (-600) split so simple to setup.
Did you know that AARS was formed about 1929 by a Signal Corps captain
so as to utilize the "free" benefits of ham radio. All cw
however until end of 1996
