I am just getting into the NX-5x00 line and wanted to run something by the forum to see if I'm thinking about this right.
So I'm aware of the major differences between Personality and Channel Table modes and am thinking of a way to more efficiently program the radio. I already have an Excel table of my most common channels that I use across all of my various brands of radios. What I'm trying to think of is a way to more efficiently populate the codeplug with channels copied from an existing table. Obviously analog channels can be added in the digital system depending on how I want things organized.
Here's my thought process:
Basically the end result of this would be more easily populating the information into Personalities and fixing the missing information instead of having to manually input all of the info into each personality.
Thoughts?

Here's my thought process:
- Start a blank codeplug in Channel Table mode
- Create a system for each digital type or group of similar channels (ie. DMR ham, Analog ham, P25 simplex etc.)
- Create a zone for each system.
- Copy and paste the zone table into Excel.
- Populate the information in Excel and paste back into D1N.
Basically the end result of this would be more easily populating the information into Personalities and fixing the missing information instead of having to manually input all of the info into each personality.
