Is there a easy way with chirp to program a repeater ?

[nitram]

I would like to enter a few local repeaters into my radio via chirp.  I can enter the input frequency and the tone but it  will not let me save the offset for the output frequency.  Hmmmmm

If Chirp supports your model of radio, and your radio is repeater capable, then yes you most certainly can can use Chirp to program your radio for repeater use. You will have to own the appropriate cable for connecting your radio to your computer.

 

There are many videos on YouTube that will show you how. While there are some small differences between radios models, the process for programming frequencies and codes is substantially the same across the lot.

 

If you mention what radio you’re trying to program, perhaps someone on this forum may have some specific insight to share.

If the radio is GMRS certified, it is possible you have some memory locations that cannot be programmed for repeaters. What radio are you trying to program?

what value do you have in the "Duplex" column? 

 

if it's set to "none", Chirp will think you're just using that channel as simplex.  you can either set the column to "+" (in which you'll enter the offset value in the "offset" field) or to "split" (you'll enter your transmit/repeater input frequency in the offset column)
