Re: [chirp_users] RadioReference.com import in Chirp
Hi Tom, I get the following - Server raised fault: 'Invalid County ID' - when attempting download info from RR.com. Yes, I am a premium subscriber. The particular zip code I am using is 60185. Any ideas? Thanks, Ken

This appears to be a shortcoming of the RR database. Try retrieving by zipcode from here:
http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/
It doesn't work either!
I can attempt to make the error message a little prettier, but that's about all I can do. Try with a neighboring zipcode?
If I replace the zipcode search with a Country > State > County tree, this will no longer be an issue. I don't have an ETA for this feature--it's significantly more complicated.

Tom, I know that this feature is still under development, but can I suggest the ability to change channel names prior to import, after import the channel names are reduced to the number of characters available to the radio and are difficult to correct.

If you import into a new CSV file (Ctrl-N), you can edit the names, then copy and paste or import to your radio file.
But you make an interesting point... Maybe the RadioReference tab created by Query Data Source shouldn't be read-only.
