[@Donnie-t1l]

After all these years using repeater book I never knew you could do this. Thanks

[@K5YVY]

I’ll admit, took me a little while to realize it, I hadn’t ever really thought of it, so never payed attention. As a admin there are some exciting enhancements coming to Repeaterbook so stay tuned to them👍

[@michaeldavidheit]

I've used the repeater book several times but never really understood very well how to use it this way; your video really made a huge difference in my skill set. Thank you very much and I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas from North Pole, Alaska de AD7VV

[@K5YVY]

That’s great! As the site goes through upgrades and changes, my video might need updating some day. Really glad to hear it was helpful, it’s how I program all my radios now 😎 Merry Christmas!

Yes sir I am new to the Ham radio world. I just bought a new UV-5R 8w. And I live in the corinth- Booneville area. I really want to learn all that i can so i can get my license to talk on it. It would be great if I talk to someone in my area to help me with all of this.

[@K5YVY]

Hello Devin! Corinth has a ares club acares.reiselt.com/wordpress/ and there’s a great group of folks at Area51 in Tupelo and New Albany has a new group of good folks called Grid54. Area51 & Grid54 isn’t your traditional club but a group of folks that like to get together and have fun with Radio. Reach out anytime, my email is in the description of any video👍

[@JohnMerryman]

Nice job showing how to use Repeaterbook! Appreciate the clear explanation.

[@K5YVY]

Thanks John! I appreciate the feedback 👍

[@W5KJD]

Thank you I learned something very helpful. 👍

[@K5YVY]

Thank you, glad you found it helpful!

[@williamarnold4349]

I had no idea what "export" was on Repeaterbook. Thanks for a helpful/ informative video.

[@K5YVY]

Thank you William 👍🥳

[@amop33]

Use it all the time... Works like a champ. Have to adjust some tones here and there, but fairly accurate.

[@K5YVY]

Thanks for the comment Shawn! The information is user/community driven, so if you come across tones or anything that needs changed you can submit the info. There is currently a big push most of us state admins are doing to clean up and validate the listings. Merry Christmas 73

[@devincarter801]

Thank you so much for your reply. I greatly appreciate your help and time. I bought a UV-5R 8w and a 49 inch folding tactical antenna with a 15.5 inch antenna as well. I got this for SHTF or emergency type situation. I'm currently looking at all of the information that I can to get started on it. Would it be a problem if I contact you if I have any questions about it.

[@amop33]

@@K5YVY to be honest, I don’t have any Bfang radios. I use repeaterbook along with RT systems, programming software. To automate the download and program my radios easily.

[@profarrington]

Thanks a bunch! That will save me a ton of time. I assume I can copy and paste individual repeaters into another file. Thanks again!

[@K5YVY]

You’re quite welcome! Yes copy and paste works well in most programming software as well, have fun👍

Wow Man! Thanks from Riverside California

EL Mono, you rock! My channel may not be the most sophisticated, lol, but it’s a simple fella approach to things and sharing my experiences in the hobby. Glad to have you. Find a whole community in our several discord servers, link in the descriptions. Good day sir👍

[@Scout75PortableRadio]

Very cool this will import into RT Systems. Thanks for another great video on Repeaterbook, Joe/Brett!

[@K5YVY]

Glad to help Shane! Appreciate the feedback!

[@mattlewandowski73]

I am running into a problem as I just got RTSystems software for my THD-74 today, and the software requires a ".thd74" format but the export file is a ".tab" file and the two do not appear to be compatible with each other.

[@mattlewandowski73]

Well for those of us new to RTSystems software, I discovered that it is FAR easier than this video's procedure. Simply going into File, then External Data, it offers a repeaterbook search and import. I simply told it to search for my TH-D74's bands (2/1.25/.7) and a radius of 75 miles, and it populated a page with the data for me.

[@K5YVY]

Some kenwood models is suggested to use the TravelPlus export which gives you a .tpe extension. If this still isn’t usable for you I can only recommend at the bottom of the export drop down menu select Report Issue and maybe they can add .thd74 option.

[@K5YVY]

Thanks for adding that info, I have no experience with RTsystem software so your information will be helpful to someone else that comes across it.

[@jrgrey2000]

Awesome information..new HAM here and the was a great help to getting me starter..73..KC3WJV

Welcome aboard! Glad it helped out, sure does speed the process of programming up lol.

Good video Joe. Right to the point

Thanks Goat! I try to keep it on point :)

Thanks Jeffery! It’s my go to for repeater programming. Thanks for commenting.

Good info to know! 73

Thanks Jeff!

[@rockytop441]

Good job nice video thank you will this work to program my md380 tyt for digital DMR ? Thank you

[@K5YVY]

Thanks! And yes it would work for your md380. Just as the steps I went through. Be sure to check mark DMR. If you want only DMR uncheck FM.

[@JesusPursuit]

This is awesome. I am new to all this, bought a andytone 878 and I can't hear crap lol...thinking about sending it back and getting something simple. any advice on that? thanks for this video!

[@K5YVY]

Welcome aboard! The AnyTone 878 is a great and popular radio, wish I had gotten one. They fact that your not hearing anything may not have nothing to do with the radio, but simply the lack of activity in your area. If you are Licensed for ham radio you could program in local repeaters and transmit you callsign out , if you hear the repeater "tail" after you unkey then the repeater and your radio is working just fine, there just isn't anyone else in the area talking back. If you don't have local activity in your area, then a great solution with that radio is to get a MMDVM hotspot such as a complete kit on amazon like this ( amzn.to/3wXgFLY ) or one that will suit your budget/needs, then with a WiFi connection you could talk the world with that radio. TheSmokingApe youtube channel has many great videos on these MMDVM hotspots.

[@RedNeckSurgeyTech]

How can I change the names of the repeaters to something that indicates the repeaters location within the 75 mile radius? As opposed to merely a call sign. If I'm driving around the 75 mile area I want to know which repeater I'm closest to. Thanks 73 kf0alt

[@K5YVY]

Repeaterbook choices are frequency, callsign, or landmark or city believe. You can export by distance but Further customizing will need to be done by you in your programming software to my knowledge.

[@JohnGilmore-y7x]

Important to mention you must have a license and call sign to log in and export!!!!

[@K5YVY]

That is a recent new (couple weeks) requirement at Repeaterbook.

[@alexahedo85]

Will this work with anytone 868

[@K5YVY]

If you can use Chirp to program your radio then absolutely. Might work with other programs if they allow csv imports.

[@alexahedo85]

You can select the brand anytone but now the model 868 😞. Could you make a video on how to program the anytone 868. All the other videos I’ve seen are not that good

[@K5YVY]

Alex, I have secured a 868 and I will be recording a video for you in a few days 🥳

[@alexahedo85]

Ok thanks. All the videos show how an expert would setup this radio. I wanna see how the average Joe would set it up

[@K5YVY]

You came to the right place for average Joe lol. Recording is scheduled for Sunday Evening and will take a couple days for editing. If you would, could you reply back with a few specific things you would like to see if any, or just general programming and options? I’ll only have this radio once on loan for this video🫣 and want to make sure I try to tackle what you want.

[@williamarnold4349]

When I try to upload to radio it is greyed out and will not upload. Did I do something wrong?

[@K5YVY]

Sounds like your referring to your radio's programming software? There may be other settings you might need to complete or If you haven't, make sure to read the radio first with your programming software then import the information from repeaterbook and write to radio.

[@Service_Dispatcher]

It doesn't work at all

[@K5YVY]

What are you having problems with fever?
