You should be good as long as you don't add columns that aren't in the chirp (radio) csv that you start with. Good luck!

Thank you, that sounds reasonable as long as Chirp interprets all the fields in the CSV properly. I've archived your post and will give it a try tomorrow.

Here's how I do it, this may be more labor intensive than necessary but it helps me maintain version control. Since I've prefer MS Excel that's my tool of choice. I do the following:
- download from the radio into Chirp,
- export it as csv,
- open radio csv in Excel,
- copy that to a new document,
- open the "merge" csv in Excel,
- copy and paste from it into the new doc,
- manipulate the new doc as needed,
- save the new doc from Excel as a csv,
- import that csv into Chirp,
- save it as a .img file (saves a step later if I have reinstall),
- upload the img from Chirp to the radio.

How do I merge data from a CSV file into a file read from the radio? If I import, it just overwrites the previous read data. I want to take a file with 10 channels and import a file that has 20 channels. ending up with 30 channels Can that be done in a bulk fashion or does each channel have to be copied and pasted? I know that can be done because I've done it but can't figure out how to do 20 or more in one feel swoop.
