This did the trick it now shows that I am connected to the 177 hub.
Thanks for the support

You need a watt meter. They are like radios. Cheap China box to a good quality box. I prefer a Bird 43 but not everyone has one. There is a huge page on this HERE
Read the linked post. 

I didn't have to change any clock settings to enable wide band on my repeater. I just created a desktop short cut to the application and added the "-d" switch to the filename string in this format: <filename>.exe -d
That's what worked for me, though your mileage may vary...

I always use the -d switch, and it does nothing for the narrowband mandate, the only way around it on the version I am using is to change the clock.  

Hi there, those are the radio alignment parameters, and you'll need at least a signal generator for some, but the rest a service monitor will be required.

I have never messed with any of those settings on my 7000.. For me, those are in the "if you dont know what they do, dont F with them" category..
The only other thing you might want to enable is the Courtesy Blip, aka the RRB or Repeater Roger Beep.
The narrowband thing is a PITB .. To get around it you have to set your computer clock back to something like 2003 before you open the software - then you can keep your wideband setting.

I will say that vertex has done a pretty good job of having the help file give some explanation of what the settings do...not always in plain English, but if not, it's in technical terms that will give you a start on reading up what they mean.
On the wide vs narrow thing, narrow will get along better with midland's radios that are stuck with narrow only, and other radios will be fine if you also set them to narrow. On being forced by the software, some versions (like the one for the vx handhelds and mobile), I can set my system time to something well before 2013 (when the narrowband directive went into effect), and open the cps and it will let me program wideband no problem. I use dates in the filename since the date in the file properties looks way old due to changing the system time.

Do you have a screenshot of what kind of adjustments are available?
 

Do you have a programming cable and the necessary software for programming the repeater? Assuming you have a suitable computer and the aforementioned software and cable, the programming of the repeater is pretty simple. The CE-27 software is needed, but I used the -d switch for the executable to allow it to enter "dealer" mode. In my case, the executable file is CE27Win.exe, so I ran it as "CE27Win.exe -d" to access the dealer mode. I believe this was required to allow me to set the repeater to wide band. It's probably obvious that since the executable file is an exe extension, it is intended to run on Windows. I actually use mine in Linux with WINE set up for Windows compatibility.
The next thing you'll want to do is to read the programming from the repeater and then save the original file. Immediately rename the file to something else so the original file does not become corrupted. I usually include the date that I saved the file in the file name so I can see when the file was created.
Once you've renamed the file, you can edit the table to enter the values you want to use. You have 16 channels to choose from, and can add CTCSS and/or DCS codes for the transmit and receive frequencies, adjust power levels, set wide/narrow options and simplex/duplex options, among other things as desired. Once you have it set as desired, save it again, then write it to the repeater.
Here's how I have mine programmed currently:

I am using a duplexer tuned to the 462.625/467.625 frequency pair, so as you can see, most of the channels are programmed for that pair's Tx and Rx frequencies. I did this to give me a lot of options for tones and power settings. Channels 15 and 16 are one step above or below, just in case I need to set the repeater to a different frequency pair which should work okay with the duplexer.
The first eight channels are set for either high or low power for each of four CTCSS decoder (receive) codes. If desired, encoder codes can also be set, but mine are set to "off" (no code used). Channels 9-12 use DCS  for decoder codes instead of CTCSS, and again are programmed for high and low power for each of the DCS codes used. The CW-ID option is set for all channels because I've programmed my call sign into the repeater and set it to ID every 15 minutes. This can be configured in the CW-ID section of the "common" menu. I don't recall whether or not I changed any of the other settings, but the settings shown are working for me.
I hope this helps.

You mobile or HT radio transmits on the 467 frequency and receives on the 462 frequency.
That means the repeater has to RECEIVE (from your HT or mobile) on 467 and TRANSMIT (back to your HT or mobile) on 462.
So the high side of the duplexer goes to receive, and low side to transmit.

Repeaters are opposite of general programming, the TX frequency of a radio is the RX frequency of the repeater, and the RX frequency of the radio is the TX frequency of the repeater, for GMRS that mean repeaters listen on 467, and transmit of 462. In other radio services, the TX could be above or below the RX frequency, but it's laid only one way in the GMRS regs.
