    If familiar with Linux commands or the unix commands that can be installed under Windows, sounds like something that awk+grep could do fairly quickly on a .csv file, then import the file into the programming tool then upload to radio?

    My current VHF/UHF setup:
    Radios: FT-817ND and FT-70DE ; antennas: SlimJim self-made for 2m, Diamond 2m Yagi ; Amp: Daiwa ~30W 2M ; and an MMDVM hotspot.
    Due to arrive in the next week will be Retivis RT3 and RT84 radios; a genuine dualband SlimJim antenna and also a proper EAntenna Dualband Yagi 144/432 MHZ (5+8 elements); as well as a full-duplex Pi hat for another hotspot. Currently trying to get my hands on a proper dual-band amplifier. (I know that it might be simpler overall to get a 50W capable mobile transceiver, but I think I will have more flexibility with an amp.)

    I'll set up the simplex hotspot for the DMR and the duplex for the Yaesu.

    I have also yet to get into the codeplug fun and games..

    Nice goodies to play with for next weekend! :D

    My issue now with the code plug is editing the channels in Excel, they're all perfectly named in excel but when I import them into the 878 software the channel naming is correct but a lot of the contact names are wrong and always show the same channel name for those that are wrong which haven't been assigned correctly. I'm stumped unless it's a bug in the software but I just can't edit so many channels manually.

    I have 470 Talk Groups and trying to edit these in excel isn't viable due to the formatting. I don't have to manually setup each one in the anytone software. Jesus, this is a lot more of a hassle than I bargained for.

    Should have got D-star lol.

    There's definitely a bug in the Anytone software because it's messing up my channel imports.

    The talk groups import fine but when I import the channel list under contact it messes up a lot of the contact part with the first TG entry.

    For instance say, tg 1234 is the first TG entry then it will assign this to a lot of the channels under contact, the channel name will be correct but it assigns tg 1234 to many channels I just don't understand it now and am abut to give up.

    It works if I enter the data manually via the anytone software in each channel and go and assign a tg manually but for 470 odd tg this isn't going to work multiply this by the number of repeaters I want + my hotspot.

    At first I thought it was my old version of Excel so I saved a copy from my work macbook and imported that and the same thing happens.
