Hi All,
I am a new user to Chirp and I am initially using it with an Icom IC 2200H (around 200 memories). Cable and com port all OK. Chirp talk to the radio.
I am endeavouring to import a general CVS file of the local repeater list as published by the WIA (Wireless Institute of Australia) here in Australia.
I have created an image file from the IC 2200H by ³downloading from the radio². No problems in doing that (works perfectly!). I save this image file for future reference, but that is an incidental comment.
I leave the image file ³open² in Chirp. I then attempt to import the local WIA Repeater list into this image file. However, I receive a message that indicates ³UNKNOWN FILE FORMAT².
(I have deleted all Repeaters from the WIA Listing that are not 2 metres, so as to keep the list below 200 repeaters, and so as not to compile a list (via the import function) that is incompatible with the IC 2200H (a 2 metre radio only)
I guess my question is, how do I prepare the WIA Repeater list (a CVS file which I can see using Excel, of course) so its image matches the Chirp/IC2200H image, and will then presumably enable the import function to operate nicely.
Regards,
Peter Akins
