Being a lazy type, can you add the ability to add tpl files from the ARRL repeater guide to the programming. That would greatly help travelers to program for different areas. Thanks for including this OLD ham. 73 GL CUL DE WA8WHP K
I had a talk with the Travel Plus developer and his suggestion is to not support tpl format in Chirp. Here's what he said:
"A TPL file is a Repeater LIST file - for example if he wanted to save a particular repeater list for reference later - it would reopen from TravelPlus via File > Open a Repeater List.
What he needs to do is create the repeater list as usual, complete whatever sorting, selecting etc he wants to do, and then go to File > Export Repeater Data and select Radio Programming Format -- this will create a TPE file. It should automatically create with this extension but if not he should make sure it has that extension."
TPE is supported in the Chirp daily builds, so once you correctly export to this format, you'll be able to import with Chirp!
