You can go to a repeater website and find a particular route or region, download all of the repeater data (freq, offset, tone, call, etc) as a *.cvs file, that is, Comma Separated Values. In addition, there is an "Import/Export" button. When you have edited you can then click "Write Radio", or upload to the radio. For my FT-2800M, they say High, Med, Low2, Low1, just as on the radio. The dropdowns menus on some of the cells will be appropriate for your radio, such as the power levels.
You can open that program, edit it, add other frequencies, etc. Yes, see at the top, the button marked "Read Radio" will bring up a prompt telling you what buttons to push on the radio, and how to start downloading from the radio. No there are no radio config settings you need to make before you write the data to the radio.īy the way.if I was able to teach myself how to use the program.anyone can as I am not a computer guru by ANY stretch Remember the memory system of the 8800 is very uniqueĪnd each different "memory set up" is really a different snapshot of the radio set up at any given time.ĥ. Yes the data is overwritten unless you set it up to go into a different Perhaps 30 secs max for a LARGE data transferĤ. No there is no specific download button.as I recall the button says "write" as in writing the data to the transceiver.ģ. Requires turning on the radio first THEN plug in the data cable.Īssuming you are using a mouse or a touoch pad.about 4 clicks or four taps will be required to activate the program, bring up the proper file find the radio and download the new data to the radio.Ģ.
WRite G4HFQ an email.he'll answer and explain nearly anything you want to know. I'm used to programming radios directly (old fashioned way). Just not clear on those few issues, as I didn't see instructions for the above questions i've asked. Only things is, I read some of the "fine print" for the program itself and wasn't too clear on some issues.ġ) Once the program is downloaded onto the computer, how hard is it to get the system going to program the radio?Ģ) I couldn't tell from the program's website, but once the USB type cable is connected between the computer and the radio and the radio's configurations are set, is there a specific "download" button used to transfer the data? I know that's a dumb question, but I didn't see instructions on the program's advertising website, nor did I see an obvious tab (down load button) to transfer the data from compter to radio.ģ) How long does it take the program to download the radio's memory with the new paramters that I've set up?Ĥ) Does the radio itself get overridden with the old data, or do i have to reset the radio, wiping the memory "clean" prior to programming?ĥ) What do i have to do to the radio once the power is turned on and I want to transfer the data from the computer to it? Are there any menu settings that I must do first? Im thinking about buying the G4HFQ's FT-8900 programming software.
