Programming Reflectors on a Icom ID-31A Plus
« on: June 12, 2020, 06:59:45 PM »

Good Evening,
Has anyone programmed their ID-31A or A Plus with every reflector out their. I am not talking about the XRF reflectors, but just the reflectors such as REF01A, B, C etc, etc.?
If so, is there an easy way to do this. It seems there is no download that one can do to get all this data to input into the radio via the programming software.
Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I solved the issue. I use RT Systems programming software and also the Icom software for the 31AD. In the RT Systems program you can do a Dstar Calc function. Where you can either designate a Dstar Repeater or you own Hotspot. So I picked the reflectors that I wanted and then took that particular page in the radio memory section and exported it into CSV Format File.

I then opened up the file in Libre Office and made some changes to the Description. I actually watched a Youtube video on programming the reflectors in the DR section. So I just simply deleted what I already had in there and copied the Reflector link such as REF030CL. I then did that for the DR memory locations I had available. I then was able to copy the descriptions over also. I uploaded it to the radio and everything works fine. If anyone wants to try this, please don't hesitate to write me an email. You can get my email address on QRZ.Com.

My ID51 came pre-programmed with all the REF reflectors, I think this site should have the full set, although you would need to edit the repeaters by csv import to suite your country.

I wish that Icom USA had a page like that.  That is amazing.
