Hello, I'm new to programming radios so please bear with me. I have downloaded some frequencies from my radio through Chirp to a folder on my computer. When I try to open the folder I get a message saying that the "disk image file is corrupted" . I have downloaded a uv5r image file from the internet and I get the same message.
Could anyone advise me as to a fix.
Many thanks Adrian.
There is nothing to "fix". The Windows default for the '.img' extension is a "disk image file". So when you double-click it, Windows is trying to mount it as a disk file system. Since it is not a disk image, it appears corrupt to Windows (and it should).
All you need to do is to launch CHIRP and then use File -> Open (Ctrl + O shortcut) to locate and load your previously saved file.
