I used this unit to get a a channel from a radio on a repeater is this the transmit or receive channel and the CT tone is positive I think how do I get te other channel end how do I feed it Manuel and with Chirp into my UV5R?
Thank you
That is not a valid repeater frequency and shouldnt be in your radio.

Afternoon got it of a nother radio that's on the repeater...how can you tell what is wrong I'm new.
Thank you

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

Morning
Thank you I will try to feed it into chirp later today Thank you,still playing around with Chirp,not a expert.
Thank you

From the photo, shouldn't the CTCSS be 110.9 rather than 118.8?

Why are you saying 454.375 MHz? It clearly says 464.375 in the original image...
Your message from yesterday (at 14:47 central time) Jim had two different frequencies, both 464.375 and the incorrect 454.375.

That's why I posted the picture and also the chirp page for assistance on what to change in all the fields,new to this.
Thank you

Whoops! I really botched my original reply. The 454.375 is incorrect. It should have been 459.375. The 464.375 is from another radio that (according to the OP) is a repeater. Therefore the frequency displayed is the TX frequency (the repeater's input frequency). It is the RX frequency (the repeater's output frequency) that gets programmed into the CHIRP Frequency field. It would either be higher or lower than the TX frequency. The only repeater listing that I could find by googling had the repeater's TX frequency 5 MHz lower than the input frequency (which is typical for a UHF repeater.
[459.375000/+5.000/110.9] [459.375000/+5.000/110.9/110.9]
But after searching some more today, I see that there are some airports that have 464.375 listed as a repeater. So it could be that the radio was programmed solely to listen to the repeater on 464.375 with no intentions to use the repeater, so the programmed channel is simplex with the RX frequency and TX frequency being the same.

Hi
Thank you it could be just for listening,I will keep on trying with the chirp programming to se wat must be cancelled and what not.
Thank you

Gooday
Thank you for assisting me,can you assist me in where to fill this in the field and what field must be empty/cleared?
[459.375000/+5.000/110.9] [459.375000/+5.000/110.9/110.9
Also where or is there a place where I can download an explanation for each field or colum in the Chirp program like CTCS what and why's
