Assign the receive frequency to the same channel in Step 6. optional - Enter the transmit CTCSS/DCS code. Skip this step when setting up the channel for the first time. optional - Delete any existing data on the channel to program.

If no previous codes exist or when setting up the channel for the first time and no codes are needed, set the menu items listed below to OFF. optional - Clear any CTCSS/DCS codes previously assigned to the channel. If the incorrect band is chosen for the frequency entered in Step 6, the radio will cancel the operation. Programming data entered on the B Side (lower display) will not be saved. Like the simplex channels, the A side must be used to program the repeater channels into the radio. How to manually program a repeater channel Use the keypad to enter the frequency into the radio. It is highly advised to turn TDR off when programming directly from the radio. If the incorrect band is chosen for the frequency entered in Step 5, the radio will cancel the operation. Toggle to choose 136 MHz (VHF) or 470 MHz (UHF). The A side must be used to program channels into the radio. Press and choose the A Side (upper display).

If you have a different model that you've been able to use with this cheat sheet, please let me know! So far this has been confirmed to work on the following models. Note: This guide was originally written for the Baofeng UV-5R, but may work on other models as well.
