Programing GMRS Repeaters with CHIRP.

[WSAA635]

So when programing a GMSR repeater using CHIRP with my BTech GMRS V2 do I need to put a "+" and the 5MHz offset in or will the firmware figure that out for me?

Thanks.

I'm not familiar with that specific radio but if you use one of the designated repeater channels, it should have the +5 already set. You should only need to enter the tones. Being a GMRS radio that is probably the case. When using non-type certified radios you will have to enter the offset.

Correction:

With CHIRP you do have to enter the +5 offset. With most factory GMRS software you don't.

Yes generally you will have to manually set the offset in CHIRP when adding new repeater channels. You should be able to copy existing repeater channels and then add tones along with renaming them.
