Hi,
yesterday I tried to do a mass update of my D710. Here are the steps I followed:
- connect D710 to computer - load memory using MCP-2A - save MCP-2A data to file - exit MCP-2A - start CHIRP - connect CHIRP to D710 - wait for all 1000 memories to be read - export to .csv - stop CHIRP - disconnect D710 - load .csv into CHIRP - load repeater information from repeaterbook - paste repeater information from new documents into .csv - repeat previous steps till all desired repeaters are loaded - save .csv - connect D710 to computer - load memories using CHIRP - delete all memories using CHIRP (pasting over existing memories doesn't appear possible) - copy all memories from .csv file - paste all memories onto empty D710 document - tons (dozens) of error dialogs pile on top of each other complaining of illegal values - impossible to kill all sort-of-modal dialogs - kill CHIRP using task manager - do a little dance that I saved my config using MCP-2A - start MCP-2A - load previous config - save to D710
Forgetting for a moment about the apparently illegal repeater data that breaks the upload to the D710, is there a better way to upload a csv file? It seems a bit cumbersome to first have to load the entire memory contents, then remove all memories and then paste over.
Thanks,
