Repeaterbook has offered CHIRP support since 2011. Repeaterbook offers importing from within the CHIRP program directly from Repeaterbook.com or by exporting from Repeaterbook.com and manually importing to CHIRP.
Importing from within CHIRP is extremely easy, but the search options are somewhat limited. More customized searches can be completed within Repeaterbook.com and transferred to CHIRP.
Steps:
From nearly any search from within Repeaterbook is an export menu item. You must be logged in to have access to it.
More customized searches can be produced from the Repeaterbook Website than from within the CHIRP software. Many of these search queries can be exported to a format suitable for importing into the CHIRP software.

Many users have noticed there is sometimes a discrepancy between the number of rows shown on the website versus what is actually exported. This is caused by the export working to remove any repeaters that operate in modes that are not supported by the radio, such as DMR.
