to listen, you could just program the frequencies with no offset, to use it on the facility's system, you will need to know things like PL tones(some repeaters require a tone to open the repeater to reduce accidental outside interference), frequency offset(repeaters receive on one channel while transmitting on another, gotta have it) etc, but if all you are doing is listening, the repeater broadcast freq should(but may require more settings) be all you need. typically either the chief site safety man or engineering head will have those settings
