Release: Generated on 2020-05-13with WIA data from 191212

NOTE: THESE FILES ARE PRACTICALLY UNUSABLE OUT OF THE BOX (BY DESIGN)

THE CONTENT IS AUTOGENERATED FOR ALL DMR AND FM REPEATERS IN AUSTRALIA

YOU WILL HAVE TO DELETE MANY ZONES (OF UNUSED AREAS) TO MAKE IT PRACTICAL TO SWITCH ZONES.

The files were prepared using the Tytera MD 380 V1.32 and the CPS utilities software with Data extracted from the WIA data set.

Build files are automated and regenerated roughly monthly.

RDT files are manual and done 1 -2 times per year.

Notes

Still early days here

Channel naming

Currently the TYT and Retevis style channels use a font and position for channels that only give you 9 (or 8. if greater than 9) characters visible then it scrolls, however, the scroll is slow to start.

FM Channels are consistent with other configs:

  • VK2RBV 7 (70cm), VK2ROT 2 (2m)

DMR channels are more “creative”

visible Full TG TS Repeater
9 1CGVK2 9 1CGVK2 9 1 VK2RCG
505 2CGV. 505 2CGVK2 505 2 VK2RCG
113 1CGVK. 113 1CGVK2 113 1 VK2RCG

Where I can resolve the type of Network the repeater is connected to it generates more or less channels.

i.e DMR-plus/MARC Generates 9/1, 8/1, 9/2, 3800-3808/2, 3809-3810/1, 505/2

If I think it is a BrandMeister it generates a smaller list. (Simply to keep the total channels around 1000)

9/1, 6/2, 8/2, 505/2, 50593/2, 31075/2

Scanlists

Scanlists are created for each DMR repeater, and the channels are included in the scanlist. Channels ARE NOT automatically flagged to scan.

Zonelists

Zonelists are created for each DMR repeater, and the channels are included in the zonelist.

Radio Buttons RT-3, RT-8, MD-380
Button Short Long
Side1 Scan Rep/Talk
Side2 Monitor Manual Dial
Radio Buttons RT-82
Button Short Long
Top Scan One Touch 1
Side1 Switch Up-down Rep/Talk
Side2 Right Power
Side3 Left Talkaround
P1 Zone Unassigned
P2 Monitor Unassigned
Radio Buttons MD-9600
Button Short Long
P1 Zone Monitor
P2 Monitor One Touch 1
P3 Scan One Touch 2
P4 Rep/Talk Unassigned

NB: You can’t change Monitor (or Power?) when scanning.

This is a fairly automated build so once you get the rdt file you should change a few things.

  • Your ID and similar fields in General Settings.

You probably want to move some other channels into the VK2RCGDMR zone (e.g. ROT,ROZ, RCG FM).

The tools I am using:-

  • Tyt MD-380 CPS, RT-82 CPS
  • ContactManagerV261.exe from n0gsg
  • CPS Programmer V0-39 from DL5MCC
  • G4EML tools
