There are two ways to manually program a repeater in to the uv-5r. The easiest way is to switch to vfo mode with the orange button. Use the top A line. You could use either one probably, but both are set independently. Run through the settings to make sure everything is the way you want it such as frequency step, busy channel lock out, wide band, transmit power, etc. Since they have no tone on that repeater make sure the receive tone especially is turned off. Now put in the RECEIVE frequency and save it to a memory channel. After that is done you can put in the TRANSMIT frequency and hit the scan button quickly. An R should appear in the display indicating reverse. Now save that to the SAME memory channel. After you turn the radio off and go back to channel mode there should be a +/- symbol on that frequency. Quickly pressing scan again will show you the transmit to check if it is set properly.

The other way, and the way most other radios work, is to do the same as above when inputting 462.700 make sure the offset is set to positive and the shift is 5.000MHz.
