OpenGD77

Sure, try importing these CSV files which include all the LA repeaters in the SK6BA database.

Hi! I've run some experiments trying to find a better way of converting the data in the DMRId.net user database to the limited (ASCII alphanumeric?) set of characters used in the "compressed" OpenGD77 in-radio format. The current "RemoveDiactritics" function isn't great at converting non-latin chara...

Thanks for the feedback! Would any particular license suit the OpenGD77 project better? I would probably choose some BSD or MIT license variant, but I'm open to suggestions.

Re: Writing the CPS again from scratch This would take a huge amount of time, which I personally don't have. There is nothing to stop you writing your own CPS from scratch if you have time. Hi! I took some time during the holidays to start work on this project. The initial version is far from featu...

Actually, the stack overflow article that the code for DMRDataItem.RemoveDiacritics() was taken from (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/249087/how-do-i-remove-diacritics-accents-from-a-string-in-net) does supply several alternative ways of "ascii-fying" roman text. I'd suggest using the dictionary...

Thank you for the comprehensive reply!

I still think we can improve by introducing some pre-processing on the id database contents before compression, but I'll run some tests first before suggesting any specific changes.

I'm unsure if we are looking at the same data, so I downloaded the user.csv file from the same URL taht the OpenGD77 CPS uses and inspected it. The whole file is utf-8 encoded, I checked it with the iconv utility. When you say "it's a mess", what exactly do you mean? That rows can have different cha...

Hi! Moved this bug report over from the "new members" discussion. So, the problem is that names in a codeplug or csv file containing non-ascii characters are garbled in the CPS UI and you can't use the UI to enter such characters correctly. I've had a look at the CPS code now and I think I may have ...

@VK3KYY you misunderstand me, I'm talking about two separate issues here. The first is the internal representation of channel/zone names in the CPS UI, before the data gets written to the codeplug. I suspect there's some conversion from unicode to a chinese 8-bit codepage and back happening, screwin...

Also, an example of an entry in the radioid.net database with UTF-8 that doesn't display properly would be SA0PRJ (2400871) with a city name of "Saltsjöbaden" which is displayed in the radio as "SatsjA.baden".
