It sure seems like ICOM does not make it easy to figure out, but there seems to be something useful in the advanced manual page 1-13 and 1-14. Neither one explicitly says you can store it in a memory once you have it set up, but this feature looks like a superset of a standard repeater setting. They key seems to be to turn off "Auto Repeater" so you enter your own offset.
I also looked in the software that came with the 9700 and it appears that you can enter any amount for split that you want. It accepted .751 but I did not try uploading it. I think I saw that feature in RT-Systems too.
I hope I am hearing what you want, and that this helps...I have not done it. I've used the ISS Cross-band repeater, but that is just a regular satellite setting (and I use SatPC32 or MacDoppler to set it up for me)

How about if you set it up as a repeater with a custom offset?
I can set up and operate a custom offset using VFO A and B, but can't store it. The radio only stores the VFO A frequency.
The channel memories do store conventional repeater offsets but I can't figure out how to define a custom offset that could be stored in the same way.That is what I'm asking for help to accomplish.

Just got a new IC-9700 and am in the early stages of getting it configured.
Is there a way to store the 145.8/144.49 MHz ISS voice frequency pair in a regular channel memory?

It’s on page 7-3 of the manual. I’m in the same place you are with the FT-847.
W9AE replies:
Page 7-3 is the instructions for storing cross-band Satellite memories. That procedure won't work for ISS voice which has uplink and downlink are on the same band. Is it possible to use a regular memory to store a non-standard 2m split to receive on 145.8 MHz and transmit on 144.49 MHz?
