Yes, first you need to enter the menu and enable repeater channels #s 23-30 or channels RP15-RP22. Also, you can fill in the 7 blank channel positions, 8-14, that were left blank by the firmware that prevents the radio of having access to FRS/GMRS channels 8-14 because of the half-watt power restriction/limitation for those 7 channels.

Also, if you're not aware, if the MXT500 firmware has been updated, the radio channel capacity has been expended from 30 to 128. If the radio does not have the latest firmware revision, you can update the firmware by downloading it from the Midland website.

Here is a link to the post I started concerning updating the firmware and programming the MXT500. I hope that you find it helpful.
