-Repeaterbook is currently developing a project to export data from DMR repeaters into a CSV file that can be imported into the radio's CPS. The export will allows for the collection of both analog and DMR repeaters, along with the associated DMR talkgroups.+Repeaterbook is currently developing a project to export data from DMR repeaters into a CSV file that can be imported into the radio's CPS. The export will allows for the collection of both analog and DMR repeaters, along with the associated DMR talkgroups. Repeaterbook has thoughtfully considered the concerns of repeater owners by not exporting configurations likely to cause harmful interference on the repeater, such as guessing at time slots for talkgroups. If a time slot is not known, the talkgroup is skipped and not exported. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the radio operator to assure that the exported data, subsequently imported to the radio via any means, is proper and correct for the desired operation of the repeater.
  
 The first searches with export capability will be linked from the [[https://www.repeaterbook.com/dmr|DMR Niche Pages]]. The first searches with export capability will be linked from the [[https://www.repeaterbook.com/dmr|DMR Niche Pages]].

-==== Data Fields ==== +  * Step 1: create the Contact List 
-The following information was derived from deconstructing the exported CSV file from the radio. Each row is headered by the column name in bold below.+  * Step 2: create the DMR ID List 
 +  * Step 3: create the Radio ID List 
 +  * Step 4: create the Scan List 
 +  * Step 5: create the Zone List 
 +  * Step 6: create the Channel - Frequency List  
 +  * Step 7: Optional Setting
  
 +==== Step 1: Contact List CSV ====
 +The talkgroup CSV contains every talk group recorded in the Repeaterbook database. There are three options, based on your needs:
 +  - DMR-MARC only compatible talk groups
 +  - BrandMeister only compatible talkgroups
 +  - [[https://www.repeaterbook.com/DMR/cps_builder/dmr_talkgroups.php|Both DMR-MARC and BrandMeister compatible talkgroups]]
 +
 +=== Data Fields ===
 +=== No. ===
 +
 +
 +=== TG/DMR ID ===
 +Numeric DMR talkgroup ID.
 +
 +=== Repeater Number ===
 +Full name of the talkgroup. Truncated at //9// characters
 +
 +=== Name ===
 +Full name of the talkgroup.
 +
 +=== City ===
 +Can be blank.
 +
 +=== State ===
 +Can be blank.
 +
 +=== Country ===
 +Can be blank.
 +
 +=== Remarks ===
 +Can be blank.
 +
 +=== Call Type ===
 +Values: "Group Cal"
 +
 +=== Call Tips ===
 +Values: "None"
 +
 +==== Importing Back to the Radio ====
 +Once all talkgroups are entered, the Contact List should be imported back into the programming software the same way you exported the file. Click on **TOOLS** and then **import**. In the new window, click on **Digital Contacts** and select the .csv file you want imported.
 +
 +==== Step 2: DMR ID LIst ====
 +The next step is to fill the radio with all possible contacts you may ever encounter. By doing this, the radio will for each contact you make display the name, DMR ID, callsign, etc. of the individual you are connected with.   
 +
 +The Contact List is a "look-up" table for the radio to display all the details of the contacted person instead of only the DMR ID number. Individual entries (updates) can be made as shown below but would be very time consuming when creating the initial list.
 +
 +A master list of DMR contacts in CSV format is available at the DMR-MARC website:
 +[[http://www.dmr-marc.net/cgi-bin/trbo-database/datadump.cgi?table=users&format=csv&header=1|All DMR-MARC Users]]  
 +
 +This database of contacts can be directly used for DMR ID’s and imported into the radio as required. Download the list and open it up as an excel spreadsheet. 
 +
 +This step is completed completely outside of Repeaterbook. Follow the CPS manual for additional information.
 +
 +
 +==== Step 3: Radio ID List ====
 +This step is completed completely outside of Repeaterbook. Follow the CPS manual for additional information.
 +
 +==== Step 4: Scan List ====
 +This step is completed completely outside of Repeaterbook. Follow the CPS manual for additional information.
 +
 +==== Step 5: Zone List ====
 +This step is completed completely outside of Repeaterbook. Follow the CPS manual for additional information.
 +
 +==== Step 6: Channel - Frequency List ====
 +This radio offers the programming of 4,000 channels for UHF and VHF. 
 +
 +The following information was derived from deconstructing the exported CSV file from the radio. Each row is headered by the column name in bold below. Each contact row requires an entry in each of the columns. If certain data is not known and could cause undesired consequences when transmitting on a repeater, such as defaulting a time slot to 1 when the time slot is not known, the contact will be skipped. Users must acknowledge that the data from Repeaterbook cannot be 100% guaranteed and must be re-checked through local sources before attempting to transmit through a repeater.
