I didn't know it did. The Yaesu doesn't.

Honestly I don't know that I would buy it again. It's cool having four FM bands, and I like that it's really two separate radios (i.e. full duplex/cross band repeat), but like a lot of older radios, it's clunky to setup and use.

Why the hell don't radio manufacturers go back to the drawing board? For example, why don't they put a button on the faceplate to "Add a repeater" and then walk you through the couple settings you need to setup a repeater instead of making you have to know what you need to set and then hunt through the menus? They just keep "improving" the menu structure instead.
