[New to GMRS, how do I create a repeater channel with RX/TX and tone (on my Wouxon KG-1000G and KG-935G)?]

@OffRoaderX Thanks, I wasn't sure I wanted to tamper with the settings for a built in repeater channel. So I tried to create a new one.

Unfortunately I don't have a PC...I'm a Mac user, so I had to do this on the handheld radio. #hangsheadinshame

Does this look right?

1. Looked for the closest repeater (LEARN South).
2. Sent the repeater owner (shield1751) a request for permission to use his repeater.
3. I searched the frequency reference list for the Input/Output frequencies used by the repeater:
   • Output 462.700 [CTCSS 136.5]
   • Input 467.700 [CTCSS 136.5]
4. Found that Repeater Channel 21 matches those frequencies.
5. Select Repeater Channel 21 on the radio.
6. Select CH-ADD to clone the Repeater Channel 21.
7. Give it a name (#Chester1) and note the new custom channel is 31.
8. Save it since I'm notorious for losing unsaved changes.
9. With custom channel 31 (#Chester1) selected, set:
   • CTCSS TX to 136.5 Hz
   • CTCSS RX to 136.5 Hz
10. Save the changes.

Once I get the OK from the repeater owner, I'll test to see if anyone hears me.

Thanks for the assist!

FWIW, the proposed procedure does not work on a kg-935g

Michael, thank you.

Is there a way to program a repeater channel on the KG935G  itself with non-standard offset and tone? The manual says nothing. Do I need a programming cable?
