WRXJ961 Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffRoaderX Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 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.

WRXJ961 Posted July 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
