Spreadsheet CSV Import/Export Hints

• Yes, it’s a pain to shift the columns around from the Anytone to the DMR-6x2. Channel import is the big pain.  All the other file lists will match and import over no problem. You may need to grab a Anytone CSV file from you local HAM website.

• You only need to be concerned with the fields over to SCAN LIST (column AJ). Cut off what ever is to the right of that.

• You must export the edited CSV file as CSV with all data quoted as text, even the numbers.

  • In the spreadsheet app configure all columns and data as text.

  • When you export to CSV be sure to check “Quote all test Cells” (I used LibreOffice)

How it all Ties Together

When in the DMR-6x2 application, you go to Tools and Import. The import or Export dialog shows all these different fields for the different files you can import. Here are the key ones. They are also reflected in the over all menu:

• • Channel list is the main list, but you have these other lists (Zone, Talk Groups, APRS….) that go with it.  They are needed.

  • Radio ID list is you DMR ID. You only need yours, only one.

  • Talk Groups is where you put all the desired Talk Group numbers.  They have a name to help use them or if you like numbers, just enter the number again in the name field.  Talk Groups may depend on what your local HAM group policies.  Check with them.  

  • Zone is how you group all the Channels, making them more manageable, group them by geography, RF Band, Analog, Digital, whatever makes sense to you.
