Anyone have a spreadsheet that I can import into a UV-5R with all the local repeaters around Colorado? I see no reason to build on myself if someone else already has.

If you use Chirp you can pull in repeaters from Repeaterbook I think. Pretty sure the existing files floating around are for Yaesu radios mostly and I think they probably have errors in them now due to PL tone changes that have occurred.

Yeah. I was trying to save myself the time if someone already had a spreadsheet built. I have Chirp and a cable, just being lazy and not wanting to reinvent the wheel. I'll post mine after I get it done so others can use it if it fits their need.

Hey, did you wind up finding or creating? I just bought UV-5G and it's already mostly programmed. But need to program my BF-F9s

I ended up just using Chirp. I had to find an old Windows laptop as they dont have a Mac version that supports M1 processors. I can program it for you if you want.

FYI, Chirp can work on Apple Silicon and Monterey. The issue is Apple dropped support for Python 2. You could install it manually and Chirp will work.

I hope you didn't work on your list too hard...

Not hard at all. I realized that Chirp could just do the work for me.
