Thank you @WyoJoebut it seems that your copy/paste tip is limited to copying from and pasting back into the Radioddity/Anytone software itself.

I downloaded CHIRP into my Windows environment and my attempts to copy from a previous CHIRP file and then paste into the Radioddity software have not been successful.

I also exported from CHIRP into a "csv" file, modified this text file to match the columns in the Radioddity CPS software and then attempted to copy/paste without any luck either.

Radioddity CPS continues to only recognize the last "copy" from within its own program, even after I have successfully done a copy in CHIRP or the csv file.

Yes, I have done that twice now:

1) The first time I acquired my AT-779UV and built a codeplug; and

2) After some growth in various repeaters I now have access to, and additions to the various categories, I rebuilt my codeplug but this time left blank lines between categories.

Since I have one also in my car, now I tend to manually insert a new channel into each machine (including an alphanumeric name) and also add it to the codeplug, to save the hassle of unscrewing it from the cup-holder mount in my car and bringing it upstairs to program.

I built a somewhat shorter version for the PAPA System group's members to be able to download and I know of at least two members who have use it and grown from my start.

I am still hoping that someone like @WyoJoewill find a better solution for us! He is the one who told me that I could use the updated Radioddity firmware and programming software for its GM-30 in my clone, the Pofung P15UV, which I originally purchased to be able to scan for tones.  I subsequently gave it to my 10 year old grandson, in place of his FRS Motos. 

I now use instead the TYT-UV88 which is another GM-30 clone, but it is a ham radio that can also be opened to GMRS, MURS, etc and even can use CHIRP to copy/paste program and then refine the programming with its own programming software.

I have the AT-778UV. Maybe my setup can help? The MIDX23-50 channels are Midlands extra channels. There's a ton of videos on YouTube that are incorrect with channel spacing. FCC ruled out wide band (25khz) on GMRS. You can reference my code plug data from website below.

Thank you for these charts, but I am not sure what you are hoping to add to our discussion:

The AT-778 and the AT-779 are two completely different radios.

Are you suggesting that the software for the 778 has import/export features and can be used with the 779?

Thank you for that attempt, but version 2.01 of the Anytone AT-779UV software will not open your file:

While some file extensions are compatible with each other (such as csv), dat files are generic data files that can follow different internal rules.

Hi.. I'm hoping someone can help me out with the Radioddity version 2.0.2 programming software for the DB20-G mobile radio. I'm assuming its basically the same software for the Anytone listed on here. The DB20-G is setup for 400-490mhz and 136-174mhz, as is the program. My problem is that I cant highlight the CH option on the left side of menu. The other options open up a popup menu. Also, I can enter a gmrs freq in ch.1 but will not let me add a tone.. Not sure if I am missing something?? Thanks...

Yes, in my experience, the Anytone AT-779UV and the Radioddity DB20-G are interchangeable both as radios and programming software.

Try changing, in the Model Information -> Model menu from 136-174/400-490 to 136-174/400-470, and see if that solves your problems.

And power off, hold down V/M button, power on and what firmware version (for example at the bottom: V2.26) do you have?

Are you also double clicking the >> at the end of each Channel listing to open up a box for Tones, etc.?

The CPS doesn’t work that way. To edit the channel double click on the double chevron on the rightmost end, under the “more” column.
