Just to let anyone in Rowlett know that I just setup my Repeater.

467.72500 - Transmit Frequency
467.55000 - Receive Frequency

Also, does anyone know if I could hook up my repeater setup just to 1 antenna? I saw an image online of a duplex repeater using 1 antenna. Is that possible?

Thanks for your time!

Are those the correct frequencies? That isn't a standard repeater pair. A duplexer would allow a single antenna for transmit and receive.

So your using 2 GMRS high split frequencies to make your repeater?
This doesnt follow normal 2-way logic.
In the UHF mid split you follow a 5 mhz split.
So your repeater input would be 467.xxxx and the repeater output would be 462.xxxx
Having your TX and RX so close means a standard UHF duplexer wont cut it as they are designed for 5mhz of seperation. Yours is literally a few hundred khz. Thats so close you will desense the thing and it wont work and you will need a lot of antenna separation.
Im guessing this is a GMRS repeater since your using GMRS frequencies. If so do your homework and put it on the proper channels. There are other GMRS repeaters in and around the DFW area so look into that as well.
