I got this working pretty well yesterday using excel on the csv file.? In our area many of the repeater, digipeater, winlink, and DSTAR stations also beacon on APRS.? I want to create an offline map of the persistent stations that are useful for ARES purposes for a situational awareness/planning aid that I can load at-will rather than have to monitor for an hour or more waiting for them to beacon (and getting lots of other junk besides).? I also add local facilities from another POS file I have had for a while.
?
I was able to create a spreadsheet that I can paste the station/objects table data into and then use a 'formula' to create the formatted object strings I want, filter on the deired station types, which I can then put in a POS file and cleanup if needed for added details.
?
Still testing as I learn the scheme for the icons,? but it seems to be working.
