Download from your radio then using the menu, export as a csv file and send the csv file.
Were you ever able to upload to the Yaesu FT-817ND?
Do you have a copy of the unmodified img file that you downloaded from your radio before you used any type of software to modify the memories?
Perhaps your img file got corrupted. That's why CHIRP strongly suggests keeping an unmodified img file of your radio.
Open your current img file in CHIRP and export it in csv format.
Do NOT use Microsoft Excel to edit that file, it will produce errors. Use libre office or open office instead. No errors with those.
Take your unmodified img file from where you saved it and upload it to your radio.
Does that work without error?

Many thanks for your several responses and suggestions. Since yesterday, Monday, Dec. 13, 2021 I’ve been trying with small result to get frequencies loaded onto my Yaesu FT-817ND. In the past I’ve had no problems with CHIRP and my various HT’s
I’ve tried everything I can think of, as well as, by observing videos; following suggestions from more experienced folks; loading CHIRP first before turning on the radio and after turning on the radio to no avail. I’ve tried in “clone mode” and outside of clone mode. I’ve unplugged both ends of the FTDI FT232 chipset USB to 8 Pin Mini Din Male Serial Adapter CT-62 CAT Cable for Yaesu Radio FT-817, FT-857 and then plugged them in again but nothing helps. Needless to say I’ve read and reread the Owners Manual several times but no luck. Indeed, the manual seems to be outdated in the area of CT-62 CAT. So I;m at my wits end! If anybody can help it will be appreciated.
I was able to download the .img files from the radio after trial and error by using the designation of Yaesu FT-817ND (US). That said I’ve been unable to upload the .img file back to the radio after successfully entering all the wanted frequencies for 70cm, 2 meters and 6 meters.
One thing I found odd was when the radio downloaded to CHIRP it had some strange entries, (see the attached), perhaps that is the reason for it. At any rate I couldn’t eliminate these oddities from the .img list.
If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it as I would like to be up and running on my Yaesu in January, 2022.
