 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. Each contact row requires an entry in each of the columns. If certain data is unknown and could cause undesired consequences when transmitting on a repeater, such as defaulting a time slot to 1 when the time slot is not known, the contact will be skipped. Users must acknowledge that the data from RepeaterBook cannot be 100% guaranteed and must be re-checked through local sources before attempting to transmit through a repeater.
-=== Data Fields ===
+Export defaults are **BOLD**.
-=== No. ===
-This is an auto-incremented record number starting with 1 and increases in integer steps by 1. It should either be empty or show sequential numbers starting with 1 for channel 1, 2 for channel 2, etc. RepeaterBook will auto-number each row sequentially.
-=== Channel Name ===
+^ Data Fields ^ Values ^ Notes|
-The name of the channel (typically the name of repeater and talkgroup). Propose using the name of the nearest city and a talk group alias (abbreviation).
+| No. | This is an auto-incremented record number starting with 1. | Can be left blank. |
+| Channel Name | The name of the channel (typically the name of repeater and talkgroup). |  Propose using the name of the nearest city and a talk group alias (abbreviation). |
-== Receive Frequency ==
+| Receive Frequency |The receive frequency on the radio. Format is "nnn.nnnn". | |
-The receive frequency on the radio. Format is "nnn.nnnn".
+| Transmit Frequency | The transmit frequency on the radio. Format is "nnn.nnnn". | |
+| Channel Type | A-Analog, D-Digital. | Mixed analog and mixed digital are available. More information is needed as to the value to be entered into the output and the purpose for each setting (conditions the export program to follow to set the mode). Mixed-mode may require adding the repeater twice. |
-=== Transmit Frequency ===
+|  Transmit Power | **High**, Low | The radio is capable of four output power settings. |
-The transmit frequency on the radio. Format is "nnn.nnnn".
+|  Band Width | 12.5K, 25K. Use 12.5K for DMR and 25K for analog. | RepeaterBook value will override when present. |
+|  CTCSS/DCS Decode | Off, analog PL value, digital PL value. | Digital PL example "D125N".  Analog PL example "82.5". Use the appropriate code or set it to "Off" if no code or "CSQ" is present. |
-=== Channel Type ===
+| CTCSS/DCS Decode | "Off", analog PL value, digital PL value. | Digital PL example "D125N". Analog PL example "82.5". Use the appropriate code or set it to "Off" if no code or "CSQ" is present. |
-Enumerated Values: "A-Analog," "D-Digital."
+|  Contact | Digital only. Name of the DMR talk group. It is allowed to have spaces. | For analog repeaters, it appears as though the name is "Contact 1". |
+|  Radio ID | Digital only. | This is the call sign of the radio owner. Since RepeaterBook requires users to be logged on to export, it will pull the logged-on user's call sign and insert it into this field. |
-For DMR channels, use D-Digital.
+|  Busy Lock/TX Permit | Always, **Same Color Code**, Off | The CPS Manual suggests using "Same Color Code" as the typical setting. More information is needed regarding this setting, and the conditions the export program should follow. |
-For Analog channels, use A-Analog.
+|  Squelch Mode | Carrier, CTCSS/DCS. | This is the 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." |
-Mixed analog and mixed digital are also available. Still, more information is needed as to the value to be entered into the output and the purpose for each setting (conditions the export program to follow to set the mode).
+| Optional Signal | **Off**, DTMF, 2Tone, 5Tone. | |
+|  DTMF ID |  //?// | Analog only. DTMF ID. RepeaterBook will set to "1". |

+| Color Code | **0**, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. | Digital channel only. The color code is needed to access the repeater. RepeaterBook will enter the color code associated with the repeater.  |
-//The radio is capable of four output power settings. Is there a "mid1", "mid2" or equivalent setting?//
+|  Slot | 1, 2. | Digital channel only. The time slot the talkgroup (contact) is assigned to on the repeater. RepeaterBook will set the time slot listed for the talkgroup in our database. If the time slot is not known, the talkgroup will be skipped from export. |
-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.
+|  Scan List | **None**, name of the list |The scan list the channel belongs to. |
+| Receive Group List | **None** | Digital channel only. |
-=== Band Width ===
+| TX Prohibit | **Off**, On | Set to "Off" will allow transmitting on the channel. Set to "On," and the PTT will be locked out on this channel. Export will set all channels to "Off" since the database only contains channels located on the amateur radio plan. |
-Bandwidth of the emission.
+|  Reverse | **Off**, On | |
-Enumerated Values: "12.5K", "25K"
+| Simplex TDMA | **Off**, On | Digital channel only. |
+| TDMA Adaptive | Enumerated Values: **Off**, On | Digital channel only. |
-Use "12.5K" for DMR and "25K" for analog. When RepeaterBook begins tracking the bandwidth of the supported repeater modes, use this value instead.
+| Encryption Type | Enhanced Encryption, **Normal Encryption**. | Digital channel only. |
+|  Digital Encryption | **Off**, On | Digital channel only. |
-=== CTCSS/DCS Decode ===
+| Call Confirmation | **Off**, On | Digital channel only. |
-Values: "Off", analog PL value, digital PL value.
+| Talk Around | Off, On.| This sets the transmit frequency to the receive frequency, putting the radio in simplex and transmitting on the repeater's output frequency. |
-Digital PL example "D125N".
+| Work Alone | **Off**, On. | This is allowing an emergency button for workers who are alone to use. |
-Analog PL example "82.5".
+|  Custom CTCSS | **0** | Analog channel only. Can use a custom-entered frequency (Hz). |
