There seems to be some confusion here between <b>repeater offset</b>
(typically 12.5kHz to 25kHz 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.

<pre wrap="">The step is the channel spacing amount. You can set this on many
radios from 25 to 2.5 MHz. When you turn a tuning know in VFO mode,
this is the amount the radio changes frequency by.
