Radio Settings.
To use a repeater you need to listen to its transmitter frequency and transmit on its receive frequency. This can be confusing so these are the settings you need for your radio.
Transmit on 439.4625MHz, receive on 430.4625MHz, and select DN or VW on your radio. VW is preferred as it produces better-quality audio.
On many radios, you select the receive frequency of 439.4625MHz and an offset of minus 9MHz.
