The Kenwood MCP-2A software is a free radio programming application used to program the TM-V71A/E, TM-D710A/E transceivers, and the RC-D710 control panel. It can be downloaded here.

The MCP-2A software can accept three types of file exports from Repeaterbook.com.

• Kenwood HMK File
• TravelPlus TPE File
• TravelPlus CSV File

The HMK file exports the following headers: Ch: Channel number -

Rx Freq.: Downlink (Receive) Frequency -

Rx Step: Receive Channel Step -

Offset: Repeater Offset -

T/CT/DCS: Uplink Tone Type -

TO Freq.: Uplink (Transmit) Tone Frequency - Repeater's value or 77.0.

CT Freq.: Downlink (Receive) CTCSS Frequency - Repeater's value or 88.5

DCS Code: Digital Coded Squelch Code - Repeater's value or 023.

Shift/Split: Repeater Shift Direction - “+” or “-”.

Rev.: Repeater Reverse - Default is Off.

L.Out: Transmit Lockout - Default is Off.

Mode: Modulation Mode - Always FM

Tx Freq.: Transmit (Uplink) Frequency

Tx Step: Bandplan correct.

M.Name: Memory Channel Name - Repeater call sign.

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.
