[chirp_users] Fix a CSV File
Hey All, I plan on using all IMG files for my radios, but I wanted to add some frequencies to my Wouxun KG7D, it is a 2/6 meter HT. I'm using Chirp's KG6 option, since there is no 7 in the supported list, and the 7 is just an upgraded 6. Anyway, in the past, I only used a CVS file, so if someone can fix the attached file, for me, I can save it as an IMG, after uploading it to my radio. I can't use Chirp in Linux, but with a lot of effort in Windows using Jaws screenreader, I'm able to select radio, download and upload. I got this error with my Tyt 9800, and a list member was able to fix that CSV file for me, and he said some things weren't capitalized and perhaps missing values. I got the same error, when trying to import this file, it said "no channels". So it is attached and I hope someone here can detect what is wrong for me. Thanks.

Hi Glen,
As before, required values in the rToneFreq fields were missing. Also frequencies in memory rows 68 and above are out of range for a KG-UV6D (and also other fields were missing required data) so those memory rows were removed.
After making those edits, the attached CSV file imports into the test Wouxun KG-UV6 image in the CHIRP repository without any errors.

Hi Jim, Thanks, I had put the 88.5 values into the r-tone field, column G, so I don't know what happened there. On the values for the out of range, fields, if that is going to be a problem, how will I get 6 meter values in for the KG7D? Thanks.

Glenn,
Download the img file from the radio and save it as a CSV file using either LibreOffice or OpenOffice ONLY.
To be safe, send the file to yourself, then use Linux edit the csv file because Windows is nasty, recently it's been opening csv files with some on line sheets program, so I want to avoid that, I don't know the program but I just want to use libreoffice not some Internet cloud thing.
Here's the info on CHIRP and csv files. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CSV_HowTo
Here's a video about how to do it, he seems to tell you what's on the screen so it's fairly blind friendly. https://youtu.be/XgW5Zwkov7E
As I said before I will help you either with Windows or Linux Chirp.; Maybe if you have sighted help we could do a TEAMVIEWER session where I could control your computer remotely while talking to you over the phone. Sighted help is needed as TEAMVIEWER has passwords and session ID to enter and I doubt that's accessible.

None of the rToneFreq fields had any values. It was the cToneFreq fields that were populated. If both fields must be populated.
On the values for the out of range, fields, if that is going to be a problem, how will I get 6 meter values in for the KG7D?
I don't know. The KG-UV6D driver doesn't support 6 meters frequencies so they wouldn't be imported even if the entries were valid for the KG-UV7D. I suppose you could use the OEM software or program them manually using the radio's keypad.
Thanks.
You are welcome.

Hi Jim, Well I put them back into the file you fixed, and there was a problem with zeros in some of the duplex columns, and some missing values in #87 that I copied from the previous line. I uploaded it with no errors this time. All of the channels I put in seem to be there, at least the talking channel dial says they are there. Tomorrow I will see if the Tyt 9800 picks up my 6 meter transmissions, and I'll fill you in then on whether it was a success.

Hi All, I thought that I would confirm that 6 meter frequencies uploaded to a Wouxun KG7D using the only option for that radio in Chirp, the KG6 selection, worked fine, and it is transmitting now on 6 Meters. I wish my local club had a 6 meter repeater, I have a feeling 6 meters would out perform 2 meters for local communications. One of these days I'll put up my own repeater. Thanks David and Jim for poking through my CSV files for me. I think it is probably much easier to visually inspect a spreadsheet than it is to go through all cells one at a time. Bad capitalization may be a problem to detect with a screenreader, but I use a technique to find how to locate missing fields via keyboard, we can control down arrow or control right arrow, and it will take the cursor to the end of a line of data, so if there is a blank field, it will stop there. I don't know if this works inside Chirp, or if this is something only for spreadsheet programs outside of Chirp.

Glenn, I'm glad you got that csv file from Windows, all be it with a lot of effort. I really hope we can use chirp in Linux again soon. I love the linux platform, for the freedom and security it brings with it. Since my mac book air is nearing the end as far as updates go, I got Ubuntu Linux working on it, and it runs like a champ. Have a great night and 73.

Guy CHIRP works fine in Linux, but because it's now using flatpak it is inaccessible with ORCA screen reader.
I've instated it fine on Debian and Slackware.
Glenn,
Download the manufacturer's memory application.
https://www.wouxun.com/resource/UV7D_V2.rar
I know CHIRP says that Wouxun KG-UV7D is supported by use KG-UV6 software, but maybe it doesn't support 6 meters. Just a thought, it probably does.
QSL.NET will give any amateur radio operator a web site and email reflector address suffixed with dot qsl dot net like k0lny@qsl.net and part of that gift they make includes ftp access which means you can upload your img file or any type of file (example k0lny.img) to http://qsl.net/k0lny/ and the download link will be http://qsl.net/k0lny/k0lny.img and you could send that link to this list.
You need to be able to send the img file and that's the way to do it.
Linux has ncftp and other ftp transfer programs including just plain ftp.
Best wishes,
David
