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

Repeater offset of 600KHz and 5MHz?

They are not related. On 2013-08-30 09:59, chris@engravedimage.com wrote: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.

When you turn a tuning know in VFO mode, this is the amount the radio changes frequency by.
