MDC Alias lists

Is there any way to create an alias list on a CDM1550, HT1550, HT1250 then export to a file so that it does not manually need to be entered into each radio? Looking at about 21 radios and seems so redundant to have to hand load each one.

You can effectively clone Waris radios by simply reading the codeplug of the source and writing it to the target. Since Waris codeplugs do not mask for serial number, the target will take the codeplug so long as the model types are compatible.

Excuse me for asking (yes I am new at this

) but what is alias and how can I program them

Note: Hope alias change the id: 0965 to a name when programmed

Alternatively, if Waris CPS is like ASTRO CPS, you can drag and drop the call list between codeplugs.

yes, an alias will let you display a name instead of the id number. what radio do you have?

Waris CPS does not allow drag and drop between codeplugs.

Bummer. Thanks for fixing that.
