Batboard

Once upon a time, in a Bat Cave far, far away I read about either an Excel program or a process in which you could export a Astro Spectra codeplug into some type of Excel file and pseudo convert it into a file that could then be imported by the P25 software.

Anyone familiar? Tried several searches this morning but no dice.

Is this what you're looking for...

YES!!! Thank you! That's the one I was looking for.

Is that a stand alone program that I can download, or is one that has to be run from the site?

I just got an Astro Spectra Plus consolette and want to clone my mobile codeplug - as nearly as possible to the consolette. I used it years ago when I transferred the info from my XTS3000 to my XTS5000 and it worked like a charm.

Thanks again!

Run it from the site.

Worked like a charm! Thanks everyone. I was gifted an Astro Spectra Plus consolette - essentially NOS, with clock, and cloned my mobile Astro Spectra W3. It worked great. I got tons of error messages about the display character length, but amazingly; it truncated the number of characters from 14 to 8, and all I had to do was edit about 30-35% of the channel names to fit 8 characters. It worked WAY better than I expected.

Thanks, especially to Akardam for hosting this awesome utility!
