Here's how I do it, this may be more labor intensive than necessary but it helps me maintain version control. Since I've prefer MS Excel that's my tool of choice.
I do the following:

• download from the radio into Chirp,
• export it as csv,
• open radio csv in Excel,
• copy that to a new document,
• open the "merge" csv in Excel,
• copy and paste from it into the new doc,
• manipulate the new doc as needed,
• save the new doc from Excel as a csv,
• import that csv into Chirp,
• save it as a .img file (saves a step later if I have reinstall),
• upload the img from Chirp to the radio.

How do I merge data from a CSV file into a file read

from the radio? If I import, it just overwrites the previous

read data. I want to take a file with 10 channels and import

a file that has 20 channels. ending up with 30 channels

Can that be done in a bulk

fashion or does each channel have to be copied and pasted? 

I know that can be done because I've done it but can't

figure out how to do 20 or more in one feel swoop.
