VX-Commander Python Scripts

Written on 2006-11-16 at 23:04 by dudegalea.

The ukrepeater.net site helpfully provides a .csv file listing all the UK repeaters, with details of the technical information required to use them (such as frequency, and CTCSS tone).

VX-Commander, a great tool from Jim Mitchell (KC8UNJ), allows you to program your radio using a PC. It will accept a .csv file as input.

However, the repeaters.csv file isn’t in the right format for VX-Commander. So I wrote a couple of Python scripts to munge the data into the required format for VX-2 Commander and VX-7 Commander (as I have a VX-2E and a VX-7R).

The scripts are easy to edit and run. Just dump the repeaters.csv file into the appropriate directory (which you can adjust in the script). Run the script, and the resulting vx2.csv or vx7.csv will be produced. This file can be imported into VX-Commander.

Obviously, vx2.py produces output for the VX-2, and vx7.py for the VX-7.

UPDATE: The csv format has changed, so these scripts no longer work.
