Yes I believe I can program in 98 receive only frequencies on this radio

Thank you for your response,after I wrote that post I did a search for GMRS repeaters in my area and saw that they were in the 462.xxx frequencies then it hit me like a ton of bricks about the repeater I’ve been listening to being a Ham repeater. I’m currently studying for my Technicians license and just waiting for the test to be scheduled,as I said I’m new to the hobby and realize there’s much to be learned,thanks again for the information.

Hi Everyone , I’m new to the world of GMRS and just purchased the BTECH GMRS-V1because it’s repeater capable.I realize that the frequencies on channels 1-30 are hard coded in,and the repeater channels are on channels 23-30 with the frequencies hard coded at (462.550-462.725) at 25.0K increments,so my question is if I can hear my local repeater at 146.910 how do I communicate with it . I just watched a YouTube video of a guy in Boston using the same radio I have using a repeater to talk to a guy 40 miles way from him,I did a search and a the repeater frequencies in the Boston area fall in the 146.xxx to 147.xxx range,any help would be appreciated.
