I just bought a pair of these radios for outdoor purposes and I am trying to connect to a repeater.  I can't make heads or tails of it truthfully and need help.

Repeater information:

Frequency is 462.600

Input tone is 107.2

Output tone is 107.2

No permission required, the info is available to anyone on the map.

 

I am looking to program it, but again I feel like I took off a bit more than I can chew.  I am certainly a newbie at this.  Thanks for the help!

its very simple:

• Select channel "REPEATER 17" (it may also be listed as Channel 24, or Repeater 24)
• In the menu find the CTCSS/CTC TRANSMIT/TX setting and select 107.2
• Forget about the output tone for now as its optional and will just confuckulate you
• Save the change
• Push the talk button, and enjoy using the repeater.

This should get the job done. This is an extract from the csv version, but it gives you an idea of what you need

I figured it was that easy, maybe I am not close enough to the repeater, I am in the estimated range, I will try to get closer.  Thank you for your help
