RadioID contacts for a Radioddity GD-77
Drop user.csv from RadioID, choose countries or a state, and save Contacts.csv. In the GD-77 CPS: Contact › Digital Contact › Import.
The file
Exactly what the CPS exports itself: six columns, numbered from 1, IDs padded to eight digits. The seven-column layout with “Repeater Slot override”, common in contact lists shared online, is refused by this CPS with “Data format error”. Names are cut to 16 characters and written in plain English letters only — the CPS reads the file in the Windows code page — so accents are dropped and a name in another alphabet becomes the DMR ID.
Only 1,024
The GD-77 factory software holds 1,024 contacts and drops the rest without a word, so the file never holds more. Narrow it to your country or region, or set a limit and sort to choose which stay. The import replaces the whole contact list. If your GD-77 runs OpenGD77 firmware, use the OpenGD77 page instead.
What is tested — and what is not
Tested in Radioddity GD-77 CPS V3.1.9: imported, exported back, the same bytes. 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 programming software runs only on Windows; the file can be made on any computer. Use at your own risk, and transmit only on frequencies you are licensed or allowed to use.
Questions
- What about the Baofeng DM-1801?
- The DM-1801 Pro’s current software is the same program as the DM-32UV’s, so use the DM-32UV page. With OpenGD77 firmware, use the OpenGD77 page.
