        * Fetch - fetch input files from local directories or urls
        * Assemble - combine information from multiple sources
        * Filter - rename, exclude, reorder zones, and talkgroups
        * Format - output to common export formats
        
        ## [Overview Video](https://youtu.be/RfokJM5rpsM)
        
        <img src="/doc/dzcb-overview.svg">
        
        ## See [Releases](https://github.com/mycodeplug/dzcb/releases) for Default Codeplugs
        
        ## Github Actions
        
        For more information on generating customized codeplugs in the cloud without
        installing any software, see **[WALKTHROUGH](./doc/WALKTHROUGH.md)**.
        
        The walkthrough uses
        [mycodeplug/example-codeplug](https://github.com/mycodeplug/example-codeplug)
        [[input files](https://github.com/mycodeplug/example-codeplug/tree/main/input/kf7hvm)]
        
        # Output Formats
        
        ## Farnsworth JSON
        
        For import into [editcp](https://www.farnsworth.org/dale/codeplug/editcp/),
        with theoretical support for:
        
        * TYT
          * MD-380, MD-390
          * MD-UV380 (tested), MD-UV390
          * MD-2017, 
        * Alinco DJ-MD40, 
        * Retevis RT3, RT3-G, RT3S, and RT82 radios
        
        Use `--farnsworth-template-json` to specify an exported codeplug to
        use as the template for settings and radio capabilities.
        
        `dzcb` includes basic template files for [MD380/390](./codeplug/default-tyt-md380)
        and [MD-UV380/390](./src/dzcb/data/farnsworth).
        
        ## Anytone CPS
        
        For import into the official Anytone CPS (windows-only).
        
        `dzcb` generates Channels.CSV, Talkgroups.CSV, ScanList.CSV, and Zone.CSV
        
        ### Versions Supported

        (links fetched 2021/01/24)
        
        ## GB3GF OpenGD77 CSV
        
        For import into [GB3GF CSV tool](http://www.gb3gf.co.uk/downloads.html).
        Currently only supporting OpenGD77 target. Tool is "windows-only" but
        runs decently under wine.
        
        A subdirectory `gb3gf_opengd77` is created under the output directory
        containing the 4 CSV files used by the program:
        
          * `Channels.csv`
          * `Contacts.csv`
          * `TG_Lists.csv`
          * `Zones.csv`
          
        Note: these files are actually semicolon separated.
        
        # Input Format
        
        ## K7ABD style
        
        A directory of inter-related CSV files describing the common settings
        needed to program all radios. This is a common format used by K7ABD's
        original [anytone-config-builder](https://www.k7abd.net/anytone-config-builder/)
        and N7EKB's [cps-import-builder](https://github.com/n7ekb/cps-import-builder).
        
        An arbitrary number of files and folders will be combined. At this time duplicate
        zone names in different files may be problematic. Keep zone names unique.
        Particularly be wary of trucated names.
        
        * `Analog__ZoneName.csv`
          * Zone, Channel Name, Bandwidth, Power, RX Freq, TX Freq, CTCSS Decode, CTCSS Encode, TX Prohibit
        * `Talkgroups__ZoneName.csv`
          * **No Header Row** tuples of: talkgroup_name,talkgroup_number
        * `Digital-Other__ZoneName.csv` -- only really useful for digital simplex channels or private call
          * Zone, Channel Name, Power, RX Freq, TX Freq, Color Code, Talk Group, TimeSlot, Call Type, TX Permit
        * `Digital-Repeaters__ZoneName.csv` -- each line is a digital channel with static talkgroup timeslot assignments
          * Zone Name, Comment, Power, RX Freq, TX Freq, Color Code, talkgroup1, talkgroup2, talkgroup3, ...
          * Typically the Zone Name field is semicolon separated: "Longer Name;LNM"
          * The value for the talkgroup column should be "-", "1", or "2"
          * The talkgroup names must exist in the talkgroups file.
          * Some codeplug targets will create a zone for each frequency with channels for each static talkgroup.
          
        ## Data Sources
        
        ### [PNWdigital.net](http://PNWDigital.net)
        
        **Before using this network, please read the [quick start](http://www.pnwdigital.net/quick-start.html)**
        
        When building a codeplug with the `--pnwdigital` switch, 
        data is downloaded from [PNWDigital.net/files/acb](http://www.pnwdigital.net/files/acb/).
        The files are updated regularly from the cBridge, so there
        could be test data or repeaters that are not yet active.
        
        The data is cached by [`dzcb.pnwdigital`](./src/dzcb/pnwdigital.py)
        
        ### [SeattleDMR](https://seattledmr.org/)
        
        **Before using these repeaters, please read the website**
        
        When building a codeplug with the `--seattledmr` switch,
        data is downloaded from [seattledmr.org/ConfigBuilder/Digital-Repeaters-Seattle-addon.csv](https://seattledmr.org/ConfigBuilder/Digital-Repeaters-Seattle-addon.csv)
        and cleaned up a bit in [`dzcb.seattledmr`](./src/dzcb/seattledmr.py)
        
        ### Repeaterbook Proximity
        
        Download live analog Repeaterbook data within distance of point of
        interest.
        
        `--repeaterbook-proximity-csv` references a csv file with the fields:
        
        * Zone Name,Lat,Long,Distance,Unit,Band(2m;1.25m;70cm),Use,Operational Status,etc
        
        The fields after Band are optional and correspond directly to the field names
        and values in the [Repeaterbook API](https://www.repeaterbook.com/wiki/doku.php?id=api)
        (see examples).
        
        `--repeaterbook-state` is a space-separated list of US states or Canadian
        provinces that should be included in the proximity search. Including more
        states will increase the time required to generate the codeplug.
        
        Repeaterbook API data is downloaded and cached in a user and platform-specific
        cache directory. Data will be refreshed if it is older than 12 hours. When
        downloading from Repeaterbook, a delay of 30 seconds is introduced between
        requests to reduce load on the repeaterbook servers.
        
        Please respect their servers and submit changes requests to repeaterbook
        directly.
        
        See [`dzcb.repeaterbook`](./src/dzcb/repeaterbook.py).
        
        #### Example Format
        
        ```
        Zone Name,Lat,Long,Distance,Unit,Band(2m;1.25m;70cm),Use,Operational Status
        Longview WA 35mi,46.13819885,-122.93800354,35,miles,2m;70cm,OPEN,On-air
        Longview WA VHF 35mi,46.13819885,-122.93800354,35,miles,2m,open,On-air
        Longview WA UHF 35mi,46.13819885,-122.93800354,35,miles,70cm,OPEN,On-Air
        ```
        
        (it's easy to search on repeaterbook and copy the info from the URL!)
        
        ### [Local](./src/dzcb/data/k7abd/Digital-Repeaters__Local.csv)
        
        Information on these Western Washington standalone DMR repeaters was
        retrieved from Repeaterbook and respective websites in 2020 October.
        
        ### Simplex, GMRS, etc
        
        Some common [Digital](./src/dzcb/data/k7abd/Digital-Others__Simplex.csv)
        and [Analog](./src/dzcb/data/k7abd/Analog__Simplex.csv) simplex frequencies,
        and [GMRS/FRS and MURS channels](./src/dzcb/data/k7abd/Analog__Unlicensed.csv) are
        included if `--default-k7abd` is specified.
        
        # Bonus: Trim the Contact List
        
        Download the usersDB.bin with Farnsworth editcp.
        
            python -m dzcb.contact_trim \
                < "~/.cache/codeplug/Codeplug Editor/usersDB.bin" \
                > "~/.cache/codeplug/Codeplug Editor/usersDB-trimmed.bin"
                
        # Development Usage
        
        ## Installation
        
        pip install -e ./dzcb
        
        ## Basic Usage
        
        Download live pnwdigital and seattledmr networks and generate a codeplug
        in `/tmp/my-codeplug` with local simplex zones included.
        
        ```
        python -m dzcb \
            --pnwdigital \
            --seattledmr \
            --default-k7abd /tmp/my-codeplug
        ```
