+ | A master list of DMR contacts in CSV format is available at the DMR-MARC website: | ||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||
