First you have to realize that the frequency transmitted from the<br>
source radio is probably not going to be perfect. And second, the<br>
cheap rike frequency counter (I have one, too) is probably not going<br>
to be 100% accurate. Knowing this, the actual frequency would most<br>
likely be 464.375.<br>
<br>
Since the frequency captured is from a transmitting radio, the<br>
frequency is the transmit frequency of the user (the repeater's RX<br>
frequency). In the only document that I have been able to find with<br>
464.375 being used as a repeater frequency, the repeater's TX<br>
frequency is 5.000 MHz (which is common for UHF repeaters in the USA).<br>
<br>
It is obvious that a 118.8 Hz CTCSS tone is being transmitted to the<br>
repeater. It would make sense to assume that this is required to<br>
access the repeater. It is possible that the repeater doesn't require<br>
a tone, but in that case, transmitting one anyway won't hurt anything.<br>
<br>
If the repeater doesn't require a tone and/or doesn't transmit one<br>
back (or transmits a different CTCSS tone or even a DCS code), then<br>
copy-and-pasting the following into CHIRP-next should work.<br>
[454.375000/+5.000/118.8]<br>
<br>
If the repeater does transmit a 118.8 CTCSS tone back to the user then<br>
copy-and-pasting the following into CHIRP-next should work.<br>
[454.375000/+5.000/118.8/118.8]<br>
<br>
I would copy-and-paste both into CHIRP creating 2 channels that you<br>
can test with.<br>
<br>
Just note that depending on where in the world you are located, it may<br>
not be legal for you to transmit with your radio on that frequency so<br>
any transmission that you may make is solely your responsibility.<br>
