RadioID contacts for an AnyTone radio
Drop user.csv from RadioID, choose countries or a state, and save DigitalContactList.CSV. In the CPS: Tool › Import › Digital Contact List.
The file
Columns as the AnyTone CPS writes them — No., Radio ID, Callsign, Name, City, State, Country, Remarks, Call Type, Call Alert — every field in quotes, Windows line ends. The callsign is cut to 8 bytes, the name to 16, the city to 15, the rest to 16, counted in bytes the way the radio stores them. Only plain English letters are written: the CPS reads the file in the Windows code page and shows UTF-8 as “Kraków”, so accents are dropped (Kraków → Krakow) and words in other alphabets left out.

What is tested — and what is not
Tested in AnyTone AT-D878UVII CPS 4.00, AT-D878UV (first model) 4.00, AT-D890UV 1.05, AT-D578UV 1.21, AT-D868UV 1.39, AT-D168UV 1.07 and BTECH DMR-6X2 PRO 1.22e. Not tested: other CPS versions. The files go to the programming software, not to the radio: what the CPS then writes to the radio is up to the CPS, and we cannot check that without the radio. The files can be made on any computer, a Mac or Linux too; the programming software itself runs only on Windows. Use at your own risk, and transmit only on frequencies you are licensed or allowed to use.
Questions
- Import replaced my contacts.
- The AnyTone CPS replaces the whole digital contact list on import. Open the list you already have here too — it reads AnyTone’s own export — and save one file with everything you want.
