I have a KG-UV8D. I can use Chirp to read from the radio, and save the image and create a CSV file. But if I modify the CSV file and then try to open it from Chirp, I get various errors. I was able to successfully import 15 memories (plus the default 0 channel the Chirp creates -- don't know what this is), but when Chirp encounters the next line (16th entry) in my CSV file if barfs and says "Mismatched column numbers line 17".
Computers don't lie--I bet line 17 of your CSV file has mismatched line numbers, just as the error says. If you attach or post a link to your CSV file, I could tell for sure.
Excel has a known bug where it will remove empty cells from a CSV file. Maybe that's what did it. I generally don't recommend using anything other than Chirp to edit Chirp files.
