Kind of

If you export the channels (in the CPS) you can import / append into another codeplug.

Or you'll have to use some external tools like the ones written by Colin G4EML which exports and imports to/from spreadsheet and you'll need to manually merge the spreadsheets

There are two places (currently) in the CPS where you can import/export:

1. Digital Contacts
- Double click on Contacts to see the list of all contacts.
- You can import and export csv files from here.
- The filename will start with "Contacts".
- The csv data is:
Number, Name, Call ID, Type, Ring Style, Call Receive Tone, Repeater Slot override.

2. Channels
- Double click on Channels to see the list of all contacts.
- You can import and export csv files from here.
- The filename will start with "Channels".
- The csv data is:
Data type, Name, Channel Type, Rx Frequency, Tx Frequency, Color Code, Timeslot,
Contact, Contact Type, Contact Id, Rx Group, Scanlist, Zone, RX CTCSS, TX CTCSS,
Power,Bandwidth, Rx Only, Squelch, Tx Admit, TOT, TOT Rekey, Tx Signaling, Rx Signaling,
Privacy Group, Emergency System, Flags1, Flags2, Flags3, Flags4,
RssiThreshold, VoiceEmphasis, TxSignaling, UnmuteRule, RxSignaling

It is not currently possible to import/export TG lists, DTMF contacts, or Zones.

Note:
- The CSV files are comma separated lists where line1 indicates the column headings.
- There are no empty values in the list. (i.e. Using ,, to denote a missing/unspecified/default value is not valid)

From what I can remember, if you import channels that you have previously exported, the CPS should automatically create any Zones and TG's etc that are required.
(I wrote the code to do this, but I recall some problems as this confused some people and I may have disabled some of the more complex things it was doing when Channels were imported.. But you could try and confirm that most of that functionality is still working.
I don't have time to do this as I'm investigating a serious bug in the GD77S which may have knock on implications for the GD77)
