dmrfill - Fill codeplugs with repeater data

[jancona]

Hi all,
[https://github.com/jancona/dmrfill] is a tool to simplify the process of adding repeaters and talkgroups to codeplugs. When I first got my DMR radio, I found the whole process around codeplus very frustrating. Even if your local area repeater group maintains a codeplug, as soon as you travel you're back to trying to find a codeplug with the area repeaters or at least locate repeater and talkgroup data so you can build your own.

dmrfill trys to solve this problem by gathering repeater data and adding it an existing codeplug. So, you start with a minimal codeplug in QDMR Extensible Codeplug format and use dmrfill to query RadioID or RepeaterBook for repeater data and then create the proper zones, channels, contacts, and group lists. You can do this multiple times for different areas by piping the results through dmrfill multiple times, building up a custom codeplug.

See the README for more details. You can download a version for your architecture here. The 0.2.0 release works with QDMR/dmrconf 0.12.0. The older releases work with QDMR 0.11.x.

I'm happy to answer questions and I'd love to hear any questions, suggestions or issues you might have.

Very cool! Since this question comes up quite often when hams try out DMR, they now can use a modern CPS and have the codeplug building almost automated.
