Enter the repeater output frequency, such as 147060. 
Press "Menu", "2", "6", "Menu". The radio will say "Offset frequency".
For 2 meter repeaters, enter 00600. For 70 cm repeaters in the US or Canada,
press 05000. 
Press "Menu" to confirm the offset amount. The radio will say "Confirm".
Press "Menu", "2", "5", "Menu". 
Press "1" for a plus (positive) offset, or "2" for a minus (Negative)
offset, then press "Menu". The radio will say "Confirm".
Set the CTCSS or DCS codes for transmit and receive, as appropriate. These
are in menus 11 and 12 for CTCSS and DCS receive respectively, and menus 13
and 14 for CTCSS and DCS transmit. CTCSS tones can be entered directly; for
instance, enter 885 for an 88.5 Hz tone, 1318 for a 131.8 tone.
Press menu to confirm.
Thanks to Buddy for these instructions, they are spot on.

Go to BFO
Enter the frequency.
Go to menu 26 radio says offset frequency. Enter 00600 press menu radio
beeps I would expect it to say confirmed.
The menus seem to be the same.

Please outline the steps you're using to program in the frequency. Maybe =
they changed the menus? My UV5R is now several years old. Do I need a =
UV5X3, you know, for science?=20
