DV Crossband Setup Problem

K3XT could not get the RPT2 setting to "stick." Since others may have the same problem as Sean, K3XT, I'll pass along the "solution".

It isn't obvious from the manual that after your set up the RPT1 and RPT2 and other call signs that you have to do a 'memory write' to store them with the other channel info. So crossband would work for a few seconds, then he would change to a different memory channel to check W3EOC B on 445.075 and lose the RPT2 programming again when he switched back to 2 meters.

Apparently the IC-800 manual implies that the call sign memory is separate from the frequency memory locations.

There are multiple separate memories for storing RPT1 and RPT2 call signs, as well as URCALLs. This IS separate from channel memories and is for convenience (saves you from manually entering each character in any setup). But channel memories ALSO save call signs along with other channel info like a 'snapshot' of a setup.
