In my configuration for a BaoFeng F8-HP there are 5 values for the Duplex setting (None, -, +, Split, Off)
I believe + and - are variations of split.
When the Duplex column is set to "+" or "-", the Offset column should contain the difference (aka offset) between the RX frequency and the TX frequency. For most 2 meter ham repeaters, this value is 0.60000 MHz. For most 1.25 meter ham repeaters this is 1.60000 MHz. For most 70 centimeter ham repeaters, this value is 5.00000 MHz.
When the Duplex column is set to "split", the Offset column should contain the actual TX frequency. This is necessary when you are inputting a cross band frequency pair. It is also useful when you are given the frequency pair of a repeater and don't want to do the math to calculate the "offset" (difference between the 2 frequencies).
