Are RX subtones considered an input for repeaters?

Trying to connect to a repeater.  It states output and input frequency to enter into my radio.  My radio has RX and TX settings.  Which one is input or output?

INPUT Tone = TX Tone

OUTPUT Tone = RX Tone

The words “Input” and “Output” are relative to the repeater.  So, your radio transmits the Input tones the repeater requires, and receives the repeater’s Output tones.

Set your TX tone to the Input tone needed by the repeater.

At first leave the RX tone empty.  Once everything is working you can try putting the Output tone in for the RX tone.

Thank you so much.  I'm new and confused.

That’s alright; I’m old and demented.

Wow.  I may have been programming my radios incorrectly.  I also thank you for that.
