Sorry, I would need more information- Is that 2.73 Mhz or kHz? Most rigs have some provision for a non standard offset where the TX frequency can be set indepentent of receive. The frequency setting of both frequencies is ussally to 5 kHz (0.005 Mhz).

If you could let the group know the frequency(s) and or band you are interested in it would help us in answering your question. if you have a radio in mind you can probably read the manual online and check for 'independent tx' or similar in the table of contents.

Have fun learning -In this hobby there is lots of it.

73

Its 2.73 mhz and you're probobly right about the independent tx because I can dial that freq.in and I'm using a yaesu ft-60r

Be careful. Most non-standard offsets are public safety frequencies.

For a Yaesu FT-60, see page 28 of the Operating Manual for instructions on how to store memory channels with "Independent Transmit Frequencies" also known as "odd splits".

However, your FT-60 is not FCC certified to operate on public safety or business frequencies. Doing so could jeopardize your amateur radio license or your employer's business license.

Also your ft 60 is a ham talkie and NOT legal on the commercial freqs. You AND your boss could be in trouble for this if someone wanted to push the issue.

the 2.73 would not be an odd frequency as the radio should be able to tune to 2.735. the narrow band radios for commercial will go to 2.7325. good luck but as was said the ham rig is not type approved on the public safety/commercial bands.
