I had a talk with the Travel Plus developer and his suggestion is to<br>
not support tpl format in Chirp. Here's what he said:<br>
<br>
"A TPL file is a Repeater LIST file - for example if he wanted to save<br>
a particular repeater list for reference later - it would reopen from<br>
TravelPlus via File > Open a Repeater List.<br>
<br>
What he needs to do is create the repeater list as usual, complete<br>
whatever sorting, selecting etc he wants to do, and then go to File ><br>
Export Repeater Data and select Radio Programming Format -- this will<br>
create a TPE file. It should automatically create with this extension<br>
but if not he should make sure it has that extension."<br>
<br>
TPE is supported in the Chirp daily builds, so once you correctly<br>
export to this format, you'll be able to import with Chirp!<br>
