Pick the repeater’s output frequency and the tones the owner gave you. You’ll get the receive and transmit frequencies and tone settings to program, on a one-page printout. It runs in your browser; nothing is stored.

GMRS repeater offset and tone planner

1. The repeater you want to use

Repeater output (what you hear)

Input tone the repeater needs (CTCSS, from the owner)

Output tone the repeater sends (optional)

Program your radio

Receive frequency (MHz)

Transmit frequency (MHz)

Offset (MHz)

Input is 5 MHz above output: each 467 MHz main channel pairs with a 462 MHz main channel (95.1763(a), (c)).

Transmit tone (Hz)

0 = no tone.

Receive tone (Hz)

0 = carrier squelch (hear everything on the output).

Before you key up

Ask the repeater owner for permission and the tones. Owners may allow anyone, or limit use to specific people (95.1705(d)).
Identify with your call sign at the end of a transmission and at least every 15 minutes (95.1751).
Subaudible tones (300 Hz or lower) may be sent continuously; audible tones are limited to 15 seconds at a time (95.377).
Listen first: no GMRS channel is assigned for any system’s exclusive use (FCC GMRS page).

How it works

Receive on the repeater’s 462 MHz main-channel output.
Transmit on the paired 467 MHz main channel: output + 5 MHz, e.g. 462.5500 → 467.5500 MHz (95.1763).
Tones: the standard CTCSS list. The owner tells you which input tone opens the repeater. Subaudible tones may be sent continuously (95.377).

Always ask the owner for permission first: owners may allow anyone or limit use to specific people (95.1705(d)). See how to use a GMRS repeater.
