Ok, through a little bit of trial and error, I actually checked into the Southwest Wake ARC Rag Chew tonight on the 145.21 repeater. Busy session, with several dozen calls checking in. I had to try three times before I got a call in, tweaking my settings each time, until I finally discovered which one of the parameters was the TONE required (82.5) to trigger the repeater. Of course, now that I know, I'll be able to get right on next time.
No, my problems are not over. I still haven't figured out how to set the channels by name, or program in more than one at a time. But I'm getting there. Hope to actually be able to talk intelligently to someone with the same radio next time I get to a meeting.
