-> Here in Florida, the Coordinated offset is -1 MHz for outputs above

  I happen to be in Califronia. But All this is still missing my point.
NO matter what the Split is, Ideal or Otherwise, YOU need a 2 meter rig
with Setabl;e split capabilities to use the Ten-Tec in Repeater service
on 6 meters. NOT one like my old Kenwood with FIXED + or - 600 KHZ only.
