Repeater Programmer & CHIRP Export

Our free CHIRP repeater file builder takes the guesswork out of programming a radio. First, pick the South Jersey repeaters you want. Next, the page writes a CHIRP repeater file with every frequency, offset and PL tone already filled in. Then you load it with the free CHIRP program. As a result, dozens of channels go into your radio in a few minutes.

🗺️ Pick a County

Each gold circle is a county, sized by how many repeaters it has. Click one to show just that county. Circles mark the general county area only, never antenna sites.

⚡ Quick Picks

Quick picks add to what you have already ticked. Digital-only repeaters (D-STAR) are listed for reference but can’t go in a CHIRP analog file.

📟 How to Load It Into Your Radio

  1. Install the free CHIRP program from chirpmyradio.com (Windows, Mac or Linux).
  2. Plug your radio into the computer with its programming cable and turn the radio on.
  3. In CHIRP, click Radio → Download From Radio. Then click File → Save to keep a backup of what is already in your radio.
  4. Click File → Import and choose the ACURA-Repeaters-CHIRP.csv file you downloaded here. The new channels drop into the memory slots shown.
  5. Click Radio → Upload To Radio. When it finishes, turn the radio off and on, then check a channel.
💡 Many handhelds only show 6 or 7 letters, so longer names are cut short on the radio’s screen. If your radio already has channels where you start, pick a higher starting channel number so nothing gets overwritten.

Why Use a CHIRP Repeater File?

Hand programming a handheld is slow. Worse, one wrong offset or tone means the repeater never hears you. A CHIRP repeater file fixes that problem, because each channel already has the correct split and tone. In addition, you can keep the file and reload it whenever you reset or replace a radio.

Where the Frequencies Come From

The list follows Appendix II of the Atlantic County AuxComm Field Operations Guide, plus the ACURA repeaters. It covers Atlantic County and the neighboring counties of Cape May, Ocean, Cumberland, Camden, Gloucester, Burlington, Salem and Mercer. For safety, the map marks each county in general rather than any antenna site. If you notice a change, please tell us through the contact page.

Program the AUXCOMM Primaries First

If the internet or phones go down, Atlantic County operators go first to the SCARA repeaters and 146.565 simplex. That is why the AUXCOMM primaries button sits at the top of the Quick Picks. After that, add the ACURA repeaters and any neighboring counties you travel through. For live storm information, open the Emergency Comms Dashboard.
