I have tried changing the column headers to match those in the stock files. When I do it seems to recognize the file but it then says no channels found. If I change the location column back to channel it does not recognize the file. Why can't find any channels? Does the order of the column matter? Here are the column headers: Location Frequency Offset Duplex Mode Name Show Name Tone Mode Tone DCS Tx Power Skip Step Thanks for the help, Jeff -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 2/1/17, Benton <benton(a)siletzbay.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [chirp_users] help importing file To: "Discussion of CHIRP" <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Date: Wednesday, February 1, 2017, 7:28 PM On 2017-02-01 09:31, Tom Hayward wrote: > If you share the file, I can point out why it's unrecognized.

'Back in the day' I thought one of the issues with using Excel to process csv file and Chirp was that Excel tended to truncate trailing commas for empty fields whereas Chirp was a stickler for those being in place to make the columns line up correctly. Am I misremembering or have either of those issues been improved?

I have a Rugged RH-5R that looks to be the same radio as a Baoffeng UV-5X3. What I would like to know are they the same? and and if so can I use chirp on my Rugged? as it is not listed on the support list. Thanks

I have saved a frequency list in excel as a csv file. When I try to import it into Chirp it says it does not recognize the file type. I just downloaded Chirp so I have the most current version for windows. Any help would be appreciated. Jeff

Bill I believe what you say is true, but you don't have to change the file you downloaded from the radio. You can upload a different file, one of the stock files in chirp or one you have created.

That establish a contact between the computer and your radio. Then change the spreadsheet, that is a part of Chirp, enter all your frequencies and then import that spreadsheet into your radio. Please let me know if that works as I have ordered a beaufang from China and I will have to do that too.

For around 30 bucks they work well. On eBay you can buy a battery eliminator and larger batteries. The larger batteries have a charging port on them but I’m not sure if you can run the radio and charge at the same time. You can get a battery case that holds 6 AA's if you want. I would pick up a programing cable for 10 bucks and use the free "chrip" programing software.
