Hi,
I have an Icom 91AD, and imagine the channel memory on your 2820 is similar. In telecom we used what was called a CLLI code (4 letter city, 2 letter state, 2 letter building, 3 character unit) for various systems. You may be familiar with that. I use a modified version of that, to alphabetize by state, and simple numbering making it easier to organize. For example, a local Roanoke, VA repeater is listed in my memory as VAROAK02, another in Alexandria is VAALEX01. 99 repeaters per city can be listed this way. My reasoning is that state and city are important when I want to select a repeater. The frequency is linked in memory, and the call is announced, so I do not need that in memory. Repeaters of any frequency are therefore grouped together, great for multiband transceivers, and easier to pick while driving. 73, Pete WG2J From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of bosshardss Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 4:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Simplify Abreviations for Alpha Tags I am trying to organize channels in my 2820 again and looking for a simple way to abbreviate the Names or Locations of repeaters. Zip Codes or Postal Codes may be OK in the US. IATA Airport codes may be OK except most mountain tops don't have airports. It looks like there a just around 500 G2 Gateways plus nearly 40 JA Gateways. Anyone else have a working system ? 73 Steve nu5d,_._,___
