New to gmrs, learning to use chirp

[Guest Herb]

I saw the post @WRQV528 put up about Useful CSVs, but they all say unavailable to download. How can I get them and put them on my uv 5r? Currently going through the steps to obtain my gmrs license. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

You have to be a premium member, which means finish getting your license, which must be done to become a member, then pay the fees ($50 annually I think) to become a premium member, and then run reports to generate CSV files from the repeater database.

It’s really a simple process and you do not need to download the files from here just look up local repeaters and program them.  Chirp has starter files you can down load for the basic gmrs channels then go from there.
