 ===== 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 “code plug.” Creating a code plug 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 code plug that can be loaded into a radio has been created. The AT-D868UV radio has unique software for creating the code plug and writing it into the radio for use. When you start creating a new code plug, many lists and groups are populated with single entries, which may be used as placeholders for the initial creation of lists. The programming software allows importing and exporting most of the programming parameters to create a 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.

 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. The following information was derived from deconstructing the exported CSV file from the radio.

-=== 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 === +
-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 == +
-The receive frequency on the radio. Format is "nnn.nnnn"+
- +
-=== Transmit Frequency === +
-The transmit frequency on the radio. Format is "nnn.nnnn"+
- +
-=== Channel Type === +
-Enumerated Values: "A-Analog," "D-Digital." +
- +
-For DMR channels, use D-Digital. +
-For Analog channels, use A-Analog. +
-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). +
- +
-=== Transmit Power === +
-Transmit power setting for this channel. +
-Enumerated Values: "High", "Low"  +
- +
-//The radio is capable of four output power settings. Is there a "mid1", "mid2" or equivalent setting?// +
-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. +
- +
-=== Band Width === +
-Bandwidth of the emission. +
-Enumerated Values: "12.5K", "25K" +
- +
-Use "12.5K" for DMR and "25K" for analog. When RepeaterBook begins tracking the bandwidth of the supported repeater modes, use this value instead. +
- +
-=== CTCSS/DCS Decode === +
-Values: "Off", analog PL value, digital PL value. +
-Digital PL example "D125N"+
-Analog PL example "82.5"+

- +
-=== CTCSS/DCS Decode === +
-Values: "Off", analog PL value, digital PL value. +
- +
-Digital PL example "D125N"+

- +
-=== Contact === +
-Digital only. Name of the DMR talk group. It is allowed to have spaces.  //Maximum characters?// +
-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. +
- +
-=== Busy Lock/TX Permit === +
-Enumerated Values: "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. +
- +
-=== Squelch Mode === +
-Enumerated Values: "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." +
- +
-=== Optional Signal === +
-Enumerated Values: "Off", "DTMF", "2Tone", "5Tone"+
- +

-Enumerated Values: "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. If no color code is known, the value will be set to "0"+
- +
-=== Slot === +
-Enumerated Values: "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. +
- +
-=== Scan List === +
-The scan list the channel belongs to. +
-Possible Values: "None," name of the list. +
