Try opening the CSV file in notepad, it won't add anything to the file that might cause these problems.

My suggestion:

A) Start with a brand-new, fresh CSV file 

B) Open the file in Notepad (you may have to right-click on the file and use "Open with..." to select Notepad

C) Edit the file as you like, and save it to the exact same name if you can, if not, be sure to retain the file suffix (like .CSV)

D) Try to import the updated file

You could try importing the CSV file immediately after you export it - don't touch it at all - to ensure you are starting with a known-good file.

Hope this helps,



Hi All,

I'm still working on my Tytera 9800.

I have had trouble working on the CSV file of the 227 memories.

My MS Office Excel seems to mess up the fields.

For some reason, my LibreOffice Calc crashes when I open the CSV in there.

I had a portable version of Libre Office, so I installed the full version, and that kept crashing too.

I'm using windows 10.

So I ran Dism with the repair switches, and that didn't find anything.

So I ran SFC and that fixed a problem and I rebooted.

I tried Libre Office again, and it keeps crashing.

I fixed up the CSV in Notepad, making sure to not mess with the commas.

But I need to get the data into Chirp to upload it to the radio.

I installed Open Office, and opened it up in there, but the data does not past into Chirp.

I tried to import the CSV file into Chirp, but it does not find it to be a file it can open.

The error is:

An error has occurred

Unknown File Format

Should Chirp be able to import a CSV file?

I am using Chirp Next from a couple days ago.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Glenn
