ARC125: Best way to import repeaters from a non-radioreference site? Use repeaterbook.com CHIRP csv?

[ouncento]

I'm a newbie programming a Uniden BC125AT scanner with Bu-Tel ARC125 and a radioreference.com premium subscription. I'm trying to import a list of local repeaters not listed in the RR database, such as the PAPA repeaters. I've found I can pull a repeater list from repeaterbook.com, but I don't see an export format that seems to line up with ARC125. I think I can make the CHIRP csv format as work, but before I start cleaning up a csv file for ARC125 I wanted to see if there's an easier way?

I don't know if this helps, but PAPA repeaters are in the RR database. Here is a link for California. Note they are organized under "Amateur Radio (Statewide or Regional) (California)". You will not see them under county.

@randybcd396t thank you! Yes this was my issue, I wasn't pulling the data at the State level. For anyone using the software, to get to this in ARC125 you would press the RR button, select CA, then leave the County as ">>> Select <<<" but select "Amateur Radio (Statewide or Regional)" from the Agency drop-down. And of course I was missing a ton of other state-level frequencies too... Thanks again!
