-All that is needed to "program" the crossband repeater is to tune it to the regular repeater frequency (with its proper offset and tone), and select a UHF simplex frequency for crossband repeating.  I also add a tone and tone squelch to the UHF frequency to limit interference being sent to the repeater.
