what i did was
1) download from radio
2) saved .img file as "default.img" so i could reset my radio if i bugered something up
3) opened "default.img"
4) opened the .csv file i wanted
5) clicking on the top channel number, the pressing shift+left clicking the last channel in the bunch
6)right clicked over highlighted channels, selected "copy"
7) selected my "default.img" tab
8) left clicked to highlight the channel i wanted to start my bunch at
8) right clicked and selected "paste" which then took a few sec, but pasted all of it over
9) rinsed and repeated from my .csv files
10) saved my edited default.img file by going to "file" then "save as", stored it as " funkychicken1.img"(name is at your discretion)
11) uploaded funkychicken to my radio,
12) powered my radio off and unplugged my data cable
13) powered my radio on and talked on my local repeaters
14) powered off, reconnected data cable then powered back on
15) downloaded img from my radio to ensure data integrity

all this said, im running chirp on a win7, 64bit machine, running chirp in compatibility mode for windows xp servicepack 3, using the ftdi cable from baofeng on my bf uv-5r with baofeng's software and drivers from their site as well as chirp from chirp's site but the newest build you get from the farrrrr right hand link on the chirp download page

This reinforces my comments on the documentation from the other thread. Getting the right USB drivers is enough to scare normal people away.

Anyways, I didn't know you could copy/paste like that although I had tried it and it did not work. There were also problems when rows already had been set but I don't recall the details of the problem now. I know when there are two tabs or more open, you cannot easily tell which one is which or not so you can easily end up having to redownload just to make sure!

The process I'm using to program the radios is:

1. Download from radio

2. Export csv locally

3. Edit csv

4. Import from csv

5. Double check to make sure it copied the changes into CHIRP because sometimes it doesn't

6. Upload to radio

7. Download from radio to make sure it copied the changes into radio because sometimes it doesn't

Does that sound  like the best way to do this?

Thanks!

ive found that if you download from your radio first, save that as your primary .img file, you can open your .csv files in other tabs, then copy n paste the data from the csv to the img.  you can only upload img files to the radio

I'm trying to import a csv for a Baofeng BF-F8+ but found the only way to read the radio was to select UV5R. ANyways, see the attached error message when importing the csv... the CSV was first exported and then I pasted the content from my other radio (UV82) csv file to it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Thanks for the information Jim.  I am using build 0.4.1 to program the Baofeng radios.  If I am not mistaken, that is the latest build I have been able to find.  What build should I be using?
