 +===== Programming Tips =====
 +
 +When using the MCP software, you may just want to append RepeaterBook data and avoid overwriting all your memories with the import file. Here is how to do that:
 +
 +  - Open one instance of the MCP software and either read from the radio or load a backup file.
 +  - Download an.HMK from RepeaterBook.com. 
 +  - Open a 2nd instance of the MCP software and import the downloaded HMK file.
 +  - Copy all imported channels from the second instance of the MCP. 
 +  - Paste the data from the second instance of the MCP to the end of the repeater list of the first MCP.
 +  
 +VOILA - all items are now imported with no loss of original channels or settings!
 +
 +Now you just need to put them in a group and write to the radio. — Ryan Miller (KD9NBG).
