repeater offsets

[WRXJ961]

Rookie question here. My local repeater lists his frequency on the MYGMRS page as 462.725. So thats his input freq correct?  

So I should program my channel to tx 462.725 and rx 467.725 correct?

Thanks for any response.

462 is always the output (your RX) and 467 is always the input (your TX).

If you have a 'real' GMRS radio you dont need to worry about that, you just pick the correct repeater 'channel', which will already have the tx and rx setup.

Program your channel to transmit on 467.725 and receive on 462.725.

Thanks good gravy I think I've been doing it backwards.

I appreciate your patience.

What's throwing me off is in the chirp software, the first column on the left, (according to the repeater book) from chirp, I should program theFrequency column as 462 with a +5 offset over to the right. 

So if I program it like this in the chirp repeater book, am I actually transmitting on 467 and receiving on 462?

Thanks again I appreciate the patience. 

 

This the actual repeater im after.

The frequency column refers to the receive frequency. Then the Duplex column has a plus (+) in it and the Offset column shows that the offset is 5 MHz. Taken together that means the offset is +5 MHz.  You add the offset to the frequency to know what the transmit frequency is.

OMG, thanks my good man that just cleared it up!
