what software should I use to open,edit the files???
If you were creating or editing an overlay file, any text editor will do
the job. I use EditPad, but Notepad will do the job. You could even use
a word processor as long as it is capable of saving a file in plain text
format. Overlay files are stored in a folder below UI-View named OVERLAYS.
However, if you are creating objects, just click on the map where the
object needs to be displayed and then hit F5. You can name it
(IDENTIFIER - I would use the repeater callsign followed by -R for
repeater) and fine-tune the lat-long. If you want to make the objects
really useful, enter something like the following in the comment field.
That way, users of radios like Yaesu's FTM-400 (and the older FTM-350)
and Kenwood's TM-D710 and their TH-D72 HT can use the QSY or TUNE
function to automatically QSY to the repeaters frequency, along with the
correct tone and offset. Note the format... no space between the
frequency ad the MHz. C088 would be CTCSS 88.5 Hz. T088 would be Tone
only. The decimal part of the CTCSS frequency is omitted. +060 is the
600 kHz offset. The "SaltSpringIsland" is just useful information.
147.320MHz C088 +060 SaltSpringIsland
