   * The second step is to set the menu option 43: ''REP-M'' to something like ''CTDCS'' This will send the output of one radio to the input of the other radio only if the tone is detected.{{howto:xband:kt8900settings.png}}   * The second step is to set the menu option 43: ''REP-M'' to something like ''CTDCS'' This will send the output of one radio to the input of the other radio only if the tone is detected.{{howto:xband:kt8900settings.png}}

-    * I set the UHF radio to low power because it'ether going to be used on a UHF simplex frequency when I'm around the house, or by VE7SCK, which is also really close.  It's also the radio that'll be transmitting the most since it's listening to VE7RXZ (or whichever other repeater I want to crossband repeat).+    * I set the UHF radio to low power because it'either going to be used on a UHF simplex frequency when I'm around the house, or by VE7SCK, which is also really close.  It's also the radio that'll be transmitting the most since it's listening to VE7RXZ (or whichever other repeater I want to crossband repeat).
     * I set the VHF radio to high power because this radio would need to reach a repeater further away.  It will also only transmit when I'm speaking on the UHF simplex frequency or when someone is using VE7SCK, which is less often.     * I set the VHF radio to high power because this radio would need to reach a repeater further away.  It will also only transmit when I'm speaking on the UHF simplex frequency or when someone is using VE7SCK, which is less often.
   * Once both radios are on their correct frequencies (one must be on UHF and the other on VHF), connect the cable to link them both.   * Once both radios are on their correct frequencies (one must be on UHF and the other on VHF), connect the cable to link them both.
