In my Baofeng CSV file, one of the NOAA weather channels is showing "high instead of off for power. I tried to copy an off field from another power field and paste it into the problem field, but it did not work.
There is no column for "Power" in a CSV file. It only contains data for settings that are common across radio models. The frequencies and selective squelch values are common across most radios. Power levels are not.
You must have made an error copying the field.
What is the procedure for changing values like this?
The simplest way to do it and get it right would be to change it as needed in the CHIRP spreadsheet style memory editor and then export it back out to a CSV file. This is also a good way to see what a properly formatted memory row should look like for different kinds of setups.
If TX is disabled (Duplex = off), it doesn't matter if power is high or low. But say you imported all of the NOAA WX frequencies to have available when you travel. Once they have been imported you will want to disable TX on them all. Take the mouse and click on the row containing the 1st NOAA frequency (162.550000) to highlight it. Now shift-click the last row of the of the NOAA frequencies (163.275000) to highlight all 10 rows. Now you can click the [Properties] button at the top of the spreadsheet style memory editor (an alternate method would be to right-click one of the rows and choose "Properties" from the menu that pops up). No with the "Memory Properties" menu showing tick the box to the left of Duplex to enable the setting. Click the Duplex setting and choose "off" from the drop down list. Finally click the [OK] button to accept the changes. Not all ten NOAA memory rows have TX disable (if your radio support disabling TX).
