sample file has more than 160000 records with their ‘DMR ID’, ‘Call sign’, ‘Full
name’, ‘City’, ‘State/Province’ and ‘Country’.
If you need to update the imported contacts CSV file, you need to re-import the
updated digital contacts CSV file to replace the previously imported contacts.
The format of the CSV file is as follows:
Radio-ID (DMR ID),Alias (Call sign),Name,City,State/Province,Country;
Notes: The ‘HAM contacts’ CSV-Format does not require a serial number like the
normal ‘Contact List’.
We advise to not use Excel but some plain text editor to edit CSV files such as
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/.
The file needs to be sorted with ascending DMR IDs.
When you have imported the digital contacts CSV file, you can press the ‘Write’
button to write the list to the radio. Only The ‘Ham contacts’ will be written to the
radio. This is the only way to write the ‘Ham contacts’ to the radio.
Tip: You can choose what information and details to write using these two
options:
Choose this option, to just write the ‘Contact ID‘ (DMR ID)
and the ‘Contact alias’ (call sign) of the ham contact to the
radio. This option significantly minimizes the time to write
the contacts to the radio.
Choose this option, to write all details of the ham contacts
including ‘Contact ID‘ (DMR ID), ‘Contact alias’ (call sign),
Name, City, State, Country/Region and address etc. to the
radio. This is very convenient for the user to browse and
view detailed contact information. However, this option
significantly increases the required time to transfer the
contact details to the radio. For 200.000 Ham contacts this
currently takes about an hour.
