Kenwood TM-231a - Program Repeaters

Was at a hamfest and picked up an old, Kenwood TM-231a for $35. It’s in great condition and works really good for it’s age, 30+ years. I got it for the purpose of experimentation, so if I break it, no big deal.

2. Turn the VFO to the receive frequency of the repeater
3. If needed, press Shift to set the fequency shift -/+ (blank for simplex)
4. To set the PLL tone, press Tone until a T appears in the upper right side of the display. Long press F, until F flashes, and then press Tone again. Select desired PLL tone frequency by turning the VFO and press Tone to set
5. To save the repeater into memory, press F and turn the VFO to the desired memory location, 1 through 20, then press MR
