Everyone, please keep this thread on topic. Issues of legality can be
satisfied by searching the FCC certification database and by reading
the relevant parts of CFR Title 47. This mailing list should only be
used for discussion of Chirp itself.

You can program odd-split repeaters with Chirp by setting the Duplex
column to "split" and then typing the transmit frequency into the
Offset column, as described here:

I'm going to refrain from the step-by-stop how-to. If you need this
level of detail, I recommend you find a professional to program your
radio. The stakes are high in the public safety band--an error in
programming could interfere with a life-safety operation.
