He needs values for all these fields in your csv file: rToneFreq, cToneFreq, DtcsCode, DtcsPolarity, Mode, TStep
rToneFreq & cToneFreq need to be proper ctcss tones. 67.0 will do
DtcsCode needs to be valid too. First valid code is 023
DtcsPolarity needs to be one of [‘NN', 'NR', 'RN', 'RR']
Mode needs to be AM or FM at least
TStep (tuning step) needs to be numeric! Zero will do
So this:
35,BECKER1/AGAVE,153.62,,0,,,,,,FM,,,,,,,
Needs to become this at a minimum:
35,BECKER1/AGAVE,153.62,,0,,67.0,67.0,023,NN,FM,12.5,,,,,,
There is no problem with the / in the name, but remember if you see a conversion error like ’String to Float’ for any field, that indicates that you must supply at least a numeric value, not an empty field.
I hope this helps

Actually, spaces are allowed in CSVs (in general just about everything other than a COMMA is fine since it's the comma that separates the fields). And, we see that line 33 is loading (which also has a space).
What I am seeing, however, is a lot more empty fields in line 34 than in the previous lines. In particular, the warning from Chirp is for the 'rtone' column that it can't convert the string to a float. In line 33 this appears to have a value of 88.5 while it's empty on line 34. I suggest looking at the values for the tone columns to see why these are blank (and/or why Chirp is expecting a value there).
I also see from the history of this email chain that you're using Excel to edit the CSV. Excel is notorious for munging CSV files. You may want to use a text editor of some kind instead of Excel to make sure that the fields aren't getting messed up when the file is saved.

I think that you have a problem with the NAMES of the channels. NAMES should not have a space as this break the rules of CSV files. Try replacing the spaces with “_” and that might work a lot better.

I just trimmed off all the punctuation spaces and made names 8 characters or less. Same problem, it imports and shows channels 0-34 fine but stops at 34 with errors:
Line 35: [rtone] could not convert string to float:
Line 36: [rtone] could not convert string to float:
Line 37: [rtone] could not convert string to float:

to the end of the list just after channel 70cm Cal:

Something is happening here between 33 and 34. _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Jean-Paul Louis at louijp@yahoo.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com
