Importing BrandMeister repeater list to Motorola DMR (MOTOTRBO) radios

[YL3IM]

Hi,

I recently created a simple script which makes use of BrandMeister API to retrieve the the list of actual DMR repeaters and import them into Motorola DMR radios as zones, filtered by country or location.

Mostly for mu own use, but I still hope it helps someone else.

This is really cool, thank you for sharing. I will give it a try today.

Seems to work well. Can it handle a negative longitude value? It seemed to interpret my negative longitude value as a switch.

Looks like an issue. Will fix it. Please use selection by QTH locator for now.

I quickly googled for this argparse behavior and found an advice to present a negative number this way:

-lat 45.2768 -lon " -92.6257"

or

-lat=45.2768 -lon=-92.6257

I will investigate it thoroughly later and update the readme accordingly.

This is a very cool py, thank you for the help with coordinate entry. Have you thought about making a fork of this for use with CSV input? We have multiple networks in my state so being able to supply CSV instead of results from Brandmeister API calls would be very useful. I am thinking of something like Anytone Config builder.
