Hi, I have done this before, but now I don't know what I'm doing different. I have a Baofeng UV-5R and a Baofeng BF -F9 UV2. I started with the UV5R and someone gave me a CSV file, and I imported that to my UV5R. Then I actually imported that same file into a Baofeng BF 8HP for my son. And I believe that I imported the same file to the BF-F9UV2, but I have to select the BF8HP for that radio. All three have been programmed, so I did it somehow. But now I am trying to export the BF-9UV2 and import it into a UV5R, actually same radio, I had just updated my 9, and wanted both radios to have the same channels. But I either get errors that the files are not compatible, or it hangs, like there is a conflict. I'm doing this in Ubuntu. Thanks, and I hope that this is not as clear as mud. Glenn
The most thorough way is to import the "image" from the source radio into a tab that compatible with the destination radio.

A quick and dirty method is to have a tab open for each radio and then copy-and-paste the channels between tabs.
