(Question / Suggestion) Organizing "Digital Contacts"

[KQ4IOE]

Hi there,

I'm trying to program in multiple DMR networks, but without cluttering them all together. I'd like to be able to sort my "Digital Contacts" list into the networks I use them in, rather than have them bundled all together. Is there a way to have "folders" in the digital contacts list? Of course, this would only apply in the CPS.

Edit: Any tips on how to organize my contacts would be appreciated

Use the CSV Export / Import function

There is no the codeplug is not a relational database and is not extenable.


Are you aware of TG lists ??????? This is the normal method to group Digital Contacts.

These are described in the User Guide section about codeplug creation.

Yes I am, I was just seeing if there way a way to organize the list in the digital contacts folder. Thank you for your CSV suggestion, I'm going to try writing a new code plug with that in mind.

If you export to CSV you can then arrange the Contacts.csv file as you wish using a spreadsheet program.
Make sure you copy and move entire lines.
Do not change the names of any of the contacts unless you also change them to match (exactly) in Channels.csv and TG_Lists.csv

That should work, thank you!
