I know some frequencies have a different TX vs RX. Is there a place to look up both frequencies?

Are you talking about the RR database or just in general?
For the county database pages right below the county map there is a dropdown list:
Input Frequencies: Hidden
Change it to Shown.
Input frequencies are not always listed unless somebody submits them. Input frequencies for trunked systems are not show in the db at all. You have to look at the license data for those.
Some bands have standard offsets so it is easy to tell.

Generally, all you need are the output frequencies of repeaters to hear both sides of the conversation. The only reason you may need an input frequency is for determining how close you are to a unit. When checking for conventional frequencies in the database, you will find a box marked Input Frequencies near the top of the page. You can select Hidden or Shown.

Kinda talking both. I want to make sure that counties we run mutual aid with are programmed correctly in my radio.Are you talking about the RR database or just in general?

You should not rely on RadioReference for programming public safety radios. You can't count the data being complete or accurate. That could be a big liability problem for you and your department. So can programming your own radio to transmit on public safety frequencies but that's another issue.

Yep. First rule of government service -- always have someone else you can blame. If you do it yourself, you're liable. If you have someone else do it, it can always be their fault.
