I am new and learning.  I just got this radio and I have successful in getting some repeaters loaded and operational.  However I am having a problem with setting up a repeater that seems to have some frequencies that are of the 467.000 range.  This radio does not have that band listed; only those of the 462.000 band.   My question is, will I be able to use this repeater?  It's asking for PL settings, but I am not sure which ones to use.   Sorry to be a pest.  Thank you in advance..

It can be confusing at first. 
There are eight repeater channels. Usually they are numbered 23-30, but sometimes they are marked RP15-RP22 or something like that.
They receive on the same 462.xxx frequencies as 15-22, but when you’re on a repeater channel your radio automatically transmits on 467.xxx MHz.  Your manual should have a list of channels that reflects that. 
So, just turn to one of the eight repeater channels. 

The repeater owner sets the PL tone and makes it available to users who seek permission. If it’s a repeater listed on this site then you have to read the information for that particular repeater or request it from the owner.

Welcome to the site!

Thank you for your time you took to give me an answer.  Looks like all I have to do is match the Existing Repeater number channels to the repeater and add those nasty PL numbers when the operator gives me access.   I love this stuff and once I get a good grip on this I will begin studying for my Technician license.   This is fascinating!!    Thank you my friend and have a good day..
