Hi jmcconomy,
The GMRS V-1 is a nice radio.   I have one and use it often.  To program the radio using chip is not hard once you understand what info goes where.   I will try to explain it so I don't confuse you.   For example using a repeater on channel 18.   If the input is 467..625, the output is 462.625.  If you have a PL tone of 555.5 (not a real tone, just used as an example) , here is what you would enter in chirp.  Repeater channel 18 for the GMRS V-1 is line #18 in chirp.
 
Frequency = 462.625
Tone Mode = TSQL
Tone & Tone Sql = 555.5 ( enter actual tone from MyGMRS.com)
Cross Mode = Tone-Tone
 
That should get your repeater channel programmed in.   If you have any other questions, I will try to answer them
 
Hope this helps and enjoy your radio.

Nice - thanks. I will definitely check out the Phoenix repeaters when I get up there. 
 
Thanks again -
