If repetition is allowed and the first letter must be "A", there are 8 options for the first position (only "A" can be chosen). For the remaining two positions, there are still 8 options (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) since repetition is allowed.

Therefore, the number of different three-letter codes that can be formed with "A" as the first letter, and repetition allowed for the other positions, is calculated by multiplying the number of options for each position:

1 option (A) \times 8 options \times 8 options = 64 different three-letter codes.

Thus, there are 64 different three-letter codes that can be formed using the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H, where repetition is allowed, and the first letter is "A".
