 ===== Creating a Code Plug ===== ===== 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) so keep the fuck off cunts 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).+The software which programs the radio frequencies and all other user-defined aspects of the radio operation is called a “code plug.” Creating a code plug is a ‘bottom-up’ process where the lowest (common) elements must be created first, then built upon until a fully functional code plug that can be loaded into a radio has been created.

-===== Data Export Support from Repeaterbook ===== +===== 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. Repeaterbook has thoughtfully considered the concerns of repeater owners by not exporting configurations likely to cause harmful interference on the repeater, such as guessing at time slots for talkgroups. If a time slot is not known, the talkgroup is skipped and not exported. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the radio operator to assure that the exported data, subsequently imported to the radio via any means, is proper and correct for the desired operation of the repeater.+RepeaterBook is currently developing a project to export data from DMR repeaters into a CSV file imported into the radio's CPS.
