+===== 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).
