+ | 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). | ||
