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:

Line 38: [rtone] could not convert string to float:
...

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

31,WX9,161.775,,0,,88.5,88.5,23,NN,FM,5,,,,,,
32,WX10,163.275,,0,,88.5,88.5,23,NN,FM,5,,,,,,
33,70cm Cal,446,,0,,88.5,88.5,23,NN,FM,5,,,,,,
34,BAJA PIT,154.98,,0,,,,,,FM,,,,,,,
35,BECKER1,153.62,,0,,,,,,FM,,,,,,,
36,BECKER2,153.245,,0,,,,,,FM,,,,,,,

Something is happening here between 33 and 34.
