So this is strange repeater is programmed to 462.675 I have a handheld that can scan for frequencies when I key  up repeater it’s showing 440.002 I type that into radio with 77 pl and I hit the repeater and get a clear tone. What could be causing that?

Its not programmed the way you think it is.

Well when I write it then read it back to the pc it’s giving me my frequencies. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

are you sure its set to the correct channel, and in Repeater-mode?

Positive like I said when I write to the computer from radio it’s showing 462.675 467.675. Repeater light is on.

This is my radio picking up the tone from my repeater on 440 how is this possible? 

Is it ALSO transmitting on the correct frequency or ONLY on the wrong frequency?

Only wrong. Can’t hit it on the right frequency. No rx or tx only on that 440

If I had to guess, you have the wrong version of the repeater for GMRS or the frequency limits are set incorrectly. Try binging up the software in manufacture mode with the "-m" option instead of "-d" and read the radio configuration. The Windows shortcut target should be something like "C:\Vertex Standard\CE27 for Windows\CE27Win.exe" -m". The -m option will require the manufacture password, it is "ansho-bango". Once you read the config of the radio, go to "Common" on the top of the screen and then "TX Adjustment". Be VERY careful here and don't adjust anything, check to see what the highest Tx Frequency is set at. If it's below GMRS frequencies it's probably the wrong version of the repeater.

Since you can receive the repeater at 440.000 but the CPS shows 462.675, what happens if you add a channel on 439.xxx and another on 441.xxx just for testing? Does the repeater transmit on the programmed frequency then (440 being a upper limit maybe)? Weird problem, can't think of anything else.
