Export/Print Programming Data w/ Frequencies and Codes from Armada

[Comms13]

I am looking to export/print from Armada all of my programming information in my VP8000. I was able to view all of the data from the table and selecting "all" zones and then copying and pasting over to Excel, but it enters data into the CTCSS/DCS columns even if I don't have anything programmed there (ex: displays default CTCSS code of 67.0).

What I am trying to do is make a quick reference excel file or PDF file (from excel worksheet) that I can reference all of my programming data on the fly.

Hopefully that makes sense!

AFAIK what you're doing is the best way to do it, default values are entered because they are technically required in the software/codeplug even if flagged as "unused". You'll just need to delete the ones that aren't actually in use.

Motorola is actually the same under the hood for CTCSS and similar. While it will let you paste in an empty field in CPS and have it function, even if you set it as empty using FPP, the CPS itself will always write the default value into the codeplug even if the radio has it blank. Safety feature to ensure expected and valid values are present. I discovered this when trying to onboard an APX8000 to RadioCentral that had FPP, and one of the custom FPP channels had empty/0 CTCSS which isn't acceptable to RadioCentral and caused a failure to create template error.
