Jeepers are weird.

Yes, several.

Its confusing!

I know/am familiar with a lot of the Jeep groups around here and sadly many of them are just very pretty mall-crawlers and grocery getters with fresh wax-jobs and tire-sidewalls still wet from all the ArmorAll, that only go "off road" on flat dirt roads one or two times a year. 
We dont associate with those kinds.

It is very extremely manly!

Somewhere on Youtube there is a video of some weird guy submerging a UV-5R in the toilet, freezing it and running it over with his very-manly Jeep... The screen cracked when the extremely-manly Jeep ran it over, but the radio still worked just fine.

I only use CHIRP if i am adding a BUNCH of stuff, or i need to do something that can't be done directly on the radio because 1) i like to do it the manly way and 2) things like Tone and TSquelch are confusing..
You can put your radio on the correct Repeater-Channel, hit the menu button, select the CTCSS or DCT/DPL/DCS tone and save it, all faster than it takes your computer to boot up.  It should literally take no more than 15-20 seconds to program a repeater on a GMRS radio.. 30 seconds if you are fancy and add the optional RX tone.

All GMRS repeaters have a +5 offset from the receive frequency. So if the RX frequency is 462.575, the transmit (TX) will be 467.575.  (the receive frequency always starts with 462, the transmit frequency always starts with 467)
BUT - if you are using a GMRS radio, you dont need to worry about, or even think about that. Just find the correct pre-programmed "Repeater Channel" on the radio and enter the TRANSMIT (TX) tone..  You dont need the Receive (RX) tone for now because it is optional and it is only going to confuse you more.  Save that for when you know what you're doing.
If you are trying to do this on a non-GMRS radio, aka a H.A.M.s radios, then you bought the wrong radio.

if we're being honest.. I've done that more than once.. But it was with little kids goofing on their radios so it's ok!

What you did wrong was believing some clown on a GMRS radio that was claiming to be the local police..
TL;dr .. he lied to you..

If I recall correctly, you have to do it in the software.

It is not available for GMRS..
