Codeplug Channel Generator


 
Edited

I threw this Microsoft Access Database together to add DMR Channels to my exported CSV channel file for my Anytone radios.

This would be a great idea to add to contact manager.

Have a look

Hello Frank,

Great to hear from you - hope you are doing well. (Same for everyone on this list serve, of course).

Neat implementation of your idea in Access. You've put a great deal of thought and effort into this.

You can accomplish exactly the same thing by using the Mass Change command already built into Contact Manager - with the advantage that you don't have to export and import CSV file data. To build groups of custom channels that inherit from existing channels (and include existing talkgroups), simply proceed as follows:

1. In the Channels tab, highlight all channels that reference the talkgroups you wish to include for the new repeater. (Use CTRL-Click to highlight non-contiguous channels). [Note: You may find it helpful to temporarily sort channels by talkgroup to make it easier to locate the talkgroups you want.]
2. Right-click within the Channels list and select Mass Change.
3. In the Mass Change dialog:
a) Check the box indicating that a copy of the channels is to be made.
b) Enter the new repeater frequency.
c) Set up any desired changes to the new channel names using the prepend, append, and/or replace boxes.
d) Make any necessary changes to time slot. (NOTE: This will impact all of the new channels; choose wisely!)
e) Click the COMMIT CHANGES button.

Your new channels will be automatically created. If you wish to place them into a new zone, simply scroll to the end of the Channels list, highlight the new channels, and right-click to select the Zone Wizard.

Thanks for sharing your information...let me know if we're on target.

Best,
Tom
