DMR Database Import Format?

[w8afk]

Hi all,

Excellent piece of software!!!!

I have a CSV here with 203,718 Registered DMR contacts. The format of the CSV file is :

Radio-ID, Callsign, First-Name, City, State/Prov, Country

Can you tell me what CSV format CPEditor is expecting, and where I import these contacts into the Codeplug? I assumed it would be "Contacts" but that does not appear to have enough fields.

Thanks in advance!

In the tools menu at the top, there is the option for Ham Contacts and Ham Groups.
Ham Contacts is where you write the DMR database to the radio.

The format is the same as the Radio.ID.net database. So the CSV headers must match that to be imported.

Code: Select all

RADIO_ID,CALLSIGN,FIRST_NAME,LAST_NAME,CITY,STATE,COUNTRY

It shouldn't take much to edit any CSV file you have to match. For example with your file;
If it doesn't contain last names, just create a new column with the header 'LAST_NAME' and leave the fields blank.
Then just rename the other column headers to match and it should import correctly.

Note: There is also a built-in contact manager where you can create your own contacts database based on the countries that you select

Check out the wiki for some more information on using the software.
