- 
-===== Creating a Code Plug ===== 
-The software which programs the radio frequencies and all other user defined aspects of the radio operation is called a “codeplug”. Creating a codeplug is a ‘bottom up’ process where the lowest (common) elements must be created first, then built upon until a fully functional codeplug, that can be loaded into a radio, has been created. The AT-D868UV radio has unique software for both creating the codeplug and writing it into the radio for use. When you start creating a new codeplug, many lists and groups are populated with single entries, which may be used as placeholders for initial creation of lists. The programming software allows  importing and exporting most of the programming parameters for the creation of large amount of input data to the radio (i.e. large lists of contact names). 
- 
- 
- 
-===== Data Export Support from Repeaterbook ===== 
-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. 
- 
-The first searches with export capability will be linked from the [[https://www.repeaterbook.com/dmr|DMR Niche Pages]]. 
- 
-This is a multi-step process when working with this radio. You must first download the talk group CSV and import to the radio. The complete CSV of all talk groups can be downloaded //here//. 
- 
-Step 1 is to create the Contact List. 
- 
-Step 2 is to create the DMR ID List 
- 
-==== Talk Group 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 
-  - 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. 
- 
- 
-==== Channels CSV ==== 
-=== Data Fields === 
-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. 
- 
-=== No. === 
-This is an auto incremented record number starting with 1 and increases in integer teps by 1. //Is this displayed anywhere in the radio or is it internal only?// 
- 
-=== Channel Name === 
-This is a personalized channel name. Propose using the name of the nearest city and a talk group alias (abbreviation). 
- 
-== Receive Frequency == 
-The receive frequency on the radio. Format is "nnn.nnnn". 
- 
-=== Transmit Frequency === 
-The transmit frequency on the radio. Format is "nnn.nnnn". 
- 
-=== Channel Type === 
-Values: "A-Analog", "D-Digital." 
- 
-For DMR channels, use D-Digital. 
-For Analog channels, use A-Analog. 
- 
-=== Transmit Power === 
-Values: "High", "Low"  
-//The radio is capable of four output power settings. Is there a "mid1", "mid2" or equivalent setting?// 
-Repeaterbook will set this to "Low" to comply with FCC rules regarding utilizing the lowest transmit power required to maintain reliable communications. Users can override this setting in the export as needed. 
- 
-=== Band Width === 
-Values: "12.5K", "25K" 
- 
-Use "12.5K" for DMR and "25K" for analog. When Repeaterbook begins tracking the bandwidth of the supported repeater modes, use this value instead. 
- 
-=== CTCSS/DCS Decode === 
-Values: "Off", analog PL value, digital PL value. 
- 
-Digital PL example "D125N". 
-Analog PL example "82.5". 
-Use the appropriate code or set to "Off" if no code or "CSQ" is present. 
- 
-=== CTCSS/DCS Decode === 
-Values: "Off", analog PL value, digital PL value. 
- 
-Digital PL example "D125N". 
-Analog PL example "82.5". 
-Use the appropriate code or set to "Off" if no code or "CSQ" is present. 
- 
-=== Contact === 
-Name of the DMR talk group. It is allowed to have spaces.  //Maximum characters?// 
-For analog repeaters, it appears as though the name is "Contact 1". 
- 
-=== Radio ID === 
-This is the call sign of the radio owner. Since Repeaterbook requires users to be logged on to export, it will pull the call sign of the logged on user and insert it into this field. 
- 
-=== Busy Lock/TX Permit === 
-Values: "Always", "Same Color Code", "Off" 
- 
-//What do these values mean?// 
- 
-=== Squelch Mode === 
-Values: "Carrier", "CTCSS/DCS" 
- 
-This is receive tone squelch (TSQ). It only applies to analog repeaters. If a repeater is known to be transmitting a CTCSS/PL/DPL tone, then turn this field to "CTCSS/DCS". If the repeater is DMR, then set to "Carrier". 
- 
-=== Optional Signal === 
-Values: "Off", //?// 
- 
-//There are probably more values and an explanation as to what this function does.// 
- 
-=== DTMF ID === 
-Possible Values: 
- 
-=== 2Tone ID === 
-Possible Values: 
- 
-=== 5Tone ID ===
