not a solution but a starting point perhaps?
my icom t90 is capable of cross band operation but is not capable of storing the set in memory. I have to punch in the rx freq in vfo a and the tx freq in vfo b. AFTER i make sure that 'split' is enabled in the setup menu. (any attempt to save this in a memory channel results in error) .. not saying this is the case for your radio but may be a good place to look. good luck, 'monkey |

could be wrong here:
Isn't the Baofeng a Dual band Dual Watch Radio? I think the FT60 is Dual band Single Watch.... maybe |

Congrats on the purchase, it'll serve you well. I see two separate issues here: Edited because posted before coffee.
Quoted:
I want to transmit on 144Mhz (2m) and receive on 440Mhz (70cm). Check out Page 28, odd splits Quoted:
I am trying to setup my radio to work with a cross band repeater. I was way off on this - folks apparently set up and use cross-band repeaters to get around buying a duplexor. Never seen it done, but theory checks out after coffee. See above, should work fine. |

bi-directional crossband repeaters do that.
just like the 'mobile extender' units public safety used to have in the trunk. =] most crossband repeaters in use by hams without a club (no money for duplexer) are uni-directional. just 1 direction. that way everyone knows to tx on band a and rx on band b. otherwise half the group won't hear the other half. so you have to have the capability of splitting the rx/tx by band. .. pg 28 Storing Independent Transmit Frequencies (“Odd Splits”) .. just my thoughts on the op's situation. =] 'monkey |

I have an FT-60
I have it programmed for cross-band-split. This is what you need to AO-85 and SO-50 satellites Look on page 28 of the manual under "odd split" http://yaesu.com/indexVS.cfm?cmd=DisplayProducts&ProdCatID=111&encProdID=6EC43B29CEF0EC2B4E19BB7371688B7F&DivisionID=65&isArchived=0 CHIRP FUBAR'ed my FT-7800,....I like this $15 software a lot better.... http://www.g4hfq.co.uk/ http://www.g4hfq.co.uk/ftb60.htm Storing Independent Transmit Frequencies ("Odd Splits") All memories can store an independent transmit frequency, for operation on repeaters withnon-standard shift. To do this: 1. Store the receive frequency using the method already described under MEMORYSTORAGE (it doesn't matter if a repeater offset is active). 2. Turn to the desired transmit frequency, then press and hold in the [ F/W ] key for onesecond. 3. Within five seconds of releasing the [ F/W ] key, rotate the DIAL knob to select thesame memory channel number as used in step "1" above. 4. Press and hold in the PTT switch, then press the [ F/W ] key once more momentarilywhile holding the PTT switch in (this does not key the transmitter). |

don't know why I didn't think of Oscar.
I was just out in the cold waving at so-50. good explanation. 'monkey |

I had both the uplink(tx) and downlink(rx) displayed in VFO's A and B I heard the bird clearly, but when I switched A/B to my transmit side, I lost the RX/downlink It seems that you can switch between a/b, but it's not receiving both at the same time. I went back to my FT-60, programmed crossband split, I like it a lot better |

dual watch != full duplex
=] the ability to rx 2 bands at once is not married to the ability to rx while SIMULTANEOUSLY tx. (either same band or another band) so the Chinese radios can be dual watch without being full duplex (so you can hear yourself when talking on an Oscar) i don't own any of them but a couple friends have pofung and they do rx 2 bands at the same time but don't rx while tx.

'monkey I know the difference My UV-5R has the ability to display two frequencies at once, but it can only receive the one selected. put NOAA weather in one VFO and switch to the other, and it drops out. ( using the "A/B" button) switch VFO's again, and hear NOAA WX switch from VFO's to memory channels, and same thing, ....NOT dual receive. It looks like it has dual receive, like My FT-8800 or TMV71a, but it does not. ...maybe your friend has a better baofeng ? |

pofung.
doesn't mean it isn't all the same, just says pofung. it rx both the 2m output and 70cm output of my multicast repeater at the same time. (6m,2m,70cm all have diff courtesy tones) that prompted my reply. my apologies if I generalized all the radios into one category. a radio with dual display certainly would make one think it was also dual receive. obviously != I've strayed far enough off topic. i'll be quiet now. =] 'monkey |

Those instructions on pg 28 were the ticket. Not sure how I missed that. Thanks for the help!

The TDR setting (menu number 7) allows the radio to scann between A and B freqs. Even still the radio only has one transceiver. If you are recieving on Channel A you may miss a call on Channel B. It doesn't listen to both at the same time it simply scans back and forth about 3 times a second.
