I'm not sure on the kenwoods how the memory works, but some yaesus let you have memory banks. I put all the various repeaters in, then I make banks for the local repeaters, Denver repeaters, ares repeaters, etc. I may end up with a yaesu dual bander just because I'm more familiar with their setup now. Having had to punch in a new repeater to test out for flood ops, its handy to know the radio well.

Listening in the Colorado connection repeater system, they have some obnoxious noise going on right now.
