Good morning. New to GMRS, so bear with me. I purchased a couple of BFang UV-5X and am trying to understand how to program a repeater (once I find/get access to one). I watched a couple of videos from a highly informative (and sarcastic) youtuber that I am a fan of. First video said these radios are horrible, but then saw the updated video saying they fixed issues. Mine did come with repeater channels. Still some confusion on my part regarding repeaters. I assume the repeater channel (frequency) you choose, needs to match the pre-installed repeater frequency, correct? I know there is some relation to the GMRS channels (1-22) and the repeater. Or can you program any repeater channel (23-30) to whatever repeater you want? Then, if the repeater channel is programmed, that is the channel you would want both radios to use to talk to each other, not the GMRS channels (1-22), correct? One more step, the repeater channel that shares the frequency with channels 1-22, others would hear but could not transmit to our radios? I thank you for your help in advance, and your patience for the newbie.
