I evidently misspoke - it appears I did edit the original files. Attached is the image file I created from the first download, then edited, and a CSV which I just now created via Export. "Radio > Upload to Radio" is available in both files but neither puts the listed freqs into the radio.
Microsoft Outlook doesn't seem to like the .img file so I renamed it to .bob. Hopefully you can change it back and have a usable file - please let me know.
Thanks Jim

Pretty safe bet this is all operator error but this thing is eating my
lunch! I downloaded and installed the most recent version (20210416) first thing this morning. I tried following the steps in the help documentation – download from radio, export to img file, etc. When I upload the very same image file, with no edits, to the radio it populates both banks with 676.948 Mhz, changes language to Chinese, locks the radio and produces this error:
“Edit > Properties” in Chirp does nothing. I’ve been able to unlock the
keyboard and do a reset then change language back to ENG but everything (even FM broadcast if I reset “All”) is gone.
If I open the exported spreadsheet file I get “Unable to Detect Model”
every time so I always choose Radioddity UV-5RX3 as directed by several sources.
I edited the spreadsheet, adding a few local repeaters (saved with
different filename so still have the original) but, when I open that file I get the attached error plus the “Radio > Upload to Radio” menu option is greyed out.
And I never have been able to enter any channels in the 1.25 M band even
though the aforementioned upload fills a few memories with channels around 300, 400, 500 & 600 Mhz.
I got my first HAM license in the 70’s. I was a techy for years (retired now) so this is as embarrassing as it is frustrating but this project is running out of fun! I keep thinking of that old help desk joke where the tech tells the user “You’d better just box that up and send it back to the factory.” “Oh, is it broken?” asked the client. “No” replied the tech, “You’re just too #@%! stupid to use it!” (I feel like that user right now!)
Thanks all!

Do you have the original, unedited, successful download from the radio? Attach it.
