One good way I have found to edit CsV files is to use a spreadsheet program like Microsoft excel or one of the linux free variants. Simply import as a cSV, do your editing, then export back to a CSV file. Compare the original to the new edited version to make sure the same number of commas are in place on the right lines. BTW, I have already tried this on my windows box using excel and a program specifically designed for the Baofeng radio. So, it should work the same way with chirp as both that program and cHIRP should read or write CSV files in the same way.

’m trying to import a csv file into CHIRP to upload back to my radio.



Steps I’ve taken:



Connected radio to CHIRP and downloaded the memories to CHIRP
Exported memories to a CSV file
Added the new frequencies to the CSV file
Saved CSV and tried to import back to CHIRP bur getting an unknown file format message



What am I missing?



Thanks for any help!

How did you edit the CSV file?
What did you change?
Did you compare the new CSV file to the original file CSV file using a
text editor?
Attach both the before and after CSV files to this conversation so
that they can be reviewed.

The most common cause of trouble is...

- The data format of a cell was changed.
- The number of commas required at the end of a data row was changed.
