Repeater CSV Files for Icom Radios

One of the most useful features of modern Icom radios is the ability to find local repeaters using the built-in GPS receiver, but programming those repeaters can be onerous since few sources include the all-important LAT and LON coordinates.

Kudos to Mark M0LXQ whose CSV generator covers a range of formats and even allows you to insert a column containing distance from your own QTH, so you can manually sort the and limit the entries by distance from a given locator before importing the file into the radio.

If you’re new to this it’s worth mentioning that on the ID-52 / ID-50 (possibly others) you need to import the files into the repeaters list, not the regular memory in order to use the GPS function.
