What am I doing wrong to program 100 Kenwood TS-2000 memories the easy way with Chirp???
I installed CHIRP daily-20170627 on Mint 18.2, downloaded my radio, wrote out a CSV file, constructed what I want, saved that CSV, and when I try to import it, via:
start Chirp, start radio, DL radio: I see the existing memories fine.
I import my CSV file: "There was an error during import: `?' is not in valid list: t: ['WFM', 'FM', 'NFM', 'AM', 'NAM', 'DV', 'USB', 'LSB', 'CW', 'RTTY', 'DIG', 'PKT', 'NCW', 'NCWR', 'CWR', 'P25', 'Auto', 'RTTYR', 'FSK', 'FSKR', 'DMR']
I click OK and Chirp appears to hang with the message: "Preparing memory list..." (I kill it after 10 minutes).
I've looked at my CSV file: there is no '?' character in the file. I see nothing wrong (I fixed default values for rToneFreq and cToneFreq).
Here's a shorter CSV I tried, same results:
Location,Name,Frequency,Duplex,Offset,Tone,rToneFreq,cToneFreq,DtcsCode,DtcsPolarity,Mode,TStep,Skip,Comment,URCALL,RPT1CALL,RPT2CALL 100,CREDIT ,29.62,-,0.1,,88.5,88.5,23,NN,FM,5,,,,, 101,BLOOMIN,29.66,-,0.1,Tone,100,88.5,23,NN,FM,5,,,,, 102,CHASKA,53.03,-,0.1,,88.5,88.5,23,NN,FM,5,,,,, 103,FALCON ,53.15,-,0.1,,88.5,88.5,23,NN,FM,5,,,,, 104,CREDIT ,53.33,-,0.1,,88.5,88.5,23,NN,FM,5,,,,,
If even fails if I try to import the exported file previous read.
Poking around in the log file I see:

It seems to not like all zeros in memorys set by a factory reset... but it seems to only cause problems when it occurs during an import, not editing from the memory value fields.

However you edited your CSV file, you corrupted it. It must be in a specific format to be compatible with CHIRP.
To prover this, download from your radio, export to a CSV file, import the CSV back into CHIRP. I'm betting it works.
