Live mode means that, as you edit fields in Chirp, the edited field is immediately, in real time, sent to the radio. If you move the tuning knob on the radio, that change will immediately appesar in Chirp.

One result of this is that there is no image file from the radio to save as a .img file and exporting to a csv is the only way to save your edits.

CSV files that "Chirp messes up" were usually messed up by Microsoft Excel, not by Chirp. Excel doesn't like empty cells ans can put dummy characters in them. Safer to use Libre Office or Open Office.

Hi,

I know that the Kenwood TH-F6 in Chirp is operating under "live mode", but I'm not sure of what that means in terms of programming it.

I went throughout the settings, and put in my call sign and initials instead of the HELLO !! that was in there, and when I connected it to the Kenwood software, I saw that it was saved on the Kenwood, from the Chirp software.

I tried importing a CSV file, and Chirp messes it up, and that is a CSV file that I used on Chirp with my Tyt and my Baofengs.

By messing it up, it puts the entries in an odd order.

I'm hoping for some advice on this, while using Chirp in Linux.

Thanks

Glenn
