You are correct (corrected in my message below)!!!<br>
<br>
My original "12.5kHz to 25kHz" is a related concept: The <b>channel
separation</b> frequency between different repeaters on adjacent
"channels", typically set by the local repeater coordination body.
Usually one wants his/her radio's <b>tuning step</b> to be the same
as the channel separation, or a sub-multiple of that.<br>

There seems to be some confusion here between <b>repeater
offset</b> (typically 600kHz for VHF, 5MHz for UHF), and <b>tuning
step</b> (typically between 2.5kHz and 25kHz). They are not
related.<br>

<pre wrap="">That's the standard offset for UHF repeaters. that's usually selected,
because different states have different standards. For example, in Ohio,
simplex and repeater "channels" (for lack of a better word) are 15 KHz
apart. In Michigan, they are usually 20 KHz apart. 5KHz plays nice with
both.

this is the amount the radio changes frequency by.
