 +===== TravelPlus TPE and CSV Files===== 
 +The TPE and CSV files exports the following headers: 
 + 
 +**Sequence Number**: Auto-incremented for each row starting at 1. Can be selected as the memory channel name. 
 + 
 +**Country**: The country the repeater is in. Only used if selected as the memory channel name. 
 + 
 +**State**: The state the repeater is in. Only used if selected as the memory channel name. 
 + 
 +**Region**: The region the repeater in. Only used if selected as the memory channel name. 
 + 
 +**Location**: The nearest city the repeater is in. Only used if selected as the memory channel name. 
 + 
 +**Output Frequency**: Downlink (Receive) Frequency from the repeater. 
 + 
 +**Input Frequency**: Uplink (Transmit) Frequency to the repeater. Not used. 
 + 
 +**Call Sign**: Repeater call sign. Only used if selected as the memory channel name. 
 + 
 +**Repeater Notes**: ARRL standard repeater not abbreviations. Nt used. 
 + 
 +**CTCSS Tones**: Comma-separated list of the radio CTCSS uplink and downlink tones and the DCS code.

 +Unlike the HMK file, you can select the data field to represent the memory channel name. The options are: 
 +  * None 
 +  * Country 
 +  * Region 
 +  * Callsign 
 +  * Sequence Number 
 +  * State 
 +  * Location 
 +  * Sponsor 
 + 
 +Repeaterbook recommends using the Callsign or the Location fields. The field is limited to 8 characters, so many location entries may be truncated. 
 + 
 +The program does not properly import split channel repeaters. It imports all split channels as simplex channels.
