Local

Information on these Western Washington standalone DMR repeaters was retrieved from Repeaterbook and respective websites in 2020 October.

Simplex, GMRS, etc

Some common Digital and Analog simplex frequencies, and GMRS/FRS and MURS channels are included.

Editing

Create / edit codeplug source files under /input.

If multiple subdirectories exist under /input, then multiple codeplugs will be generated.

The default directory contains the example codeplug input files along with 2 scripts:

• generate.sh builds the codeplug with a standard bash shell command.
• generate.py builds the same codeplug using python code.

Derivative codeplugs don't need to include both scripts. Use the format that is most familiar. While the sample scripts show identical functionality, the python code could be extended to hack at the generation process itself.

See dzcb README.md for more information on input files and formats.

Generating

See WALKTHROUGH for step-by-step instructions.

Github Actions

• Fork this repo
  • In the newly forked repo, click the "Actions" tab and enable Github Actions for your fork.
• customize codeplug input files in /input/default
  • example-md-uv380.json: set your Radio ID and Radio Name
    • Copy templates from default-tyt-md380 for monoband variants.
  • example-d878uv.conf: set your Radio ID and Radio Name
    • See README and templates in dmrconfig for more information and other radio types.
  • k7abd: manually defined zones in K7ABD anytone-config-builder format. See N7EKB's cps-import-builder reference data files for more examples.
  • order.csv: preferred zone, contact, channel order
  • exclude.csv: zone, contact, channel exclude
  • replacements.csv: object name replacements (regex)
  • scanlists.json: additional scanlists
  • generate.py: options passed to dzcb (whether to include PNWDigital, SeattleDMR, default files, etc)
• prox.csv: customize points of interest, distances, and desired bands
• Github codeplugs workflow will automatically build all codeplugs in the input directory.
• When a Release is published, the generated codeplugs will be hosted publicly with a stable URL.
