[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-65 No upload, not a CSV tab issue - Download OK
I’ve scanned several monthly archives for "FT-65" and separately for “upload”. The only reports I can find is that users are trying to upload a CSV tab (a common problem) and not the tab downloaded from the radio. I’ve added my channels to the FT-65 download tab and still no joy uploading. Im using a Mac OS Ventura 13.5 and an RTsystems (ZRT-USB-55) with current drivers (verified with tech support) working in the Mac. Chirp downloads from the radio without any issue. I see both TX and RX displayed on the radio and CLONE OK but no changes are made to the memory locations. I’ve reset the radio to factory defaults and made only a single change to a memory channel in Chirp to limit any input error without success. Probably something simple but I just don’t see it. Any thoughts?

You don't/can't upload a CSV tab directly into a radio. You have to download from the radio to create a tab that is compatible with the radio and then load the CSV file to create a second tab. Copy-and-paste the memory rows from the CSV tab to the FT-65 tab. Finally upload the FT-65 tab back into the radio.

The FT-4 driver is the same as the FT-65. I still haven't gotten a straight story from the reporter about the clone part of the issue and he seems to have disappeared. Perhaps you can comment in there and provide some more information?
It sounds like the upload to the radio works exactly as expected but doesn't actually upload any changes? No errors on the radio during clone? Does a save and re-open of the image keep your changes? These are all questions I'd ask in the issue, so if you could just answer them in the issue and we can continue the conversation there.
Thanks!

Hello Dan and thank you!
I think I see what the issue is. The changes I’m making are not saving to the image file.
I didn’t see a place for me to add a comment to ticket 10744 below so adding my answers. I do appreciate the help. After spending time this morning downloading, making changes and documenting my steps, I was about to answer your questions below when I noticed your “save and re-open” step. I was saving the file, but not re-opening the file.
To answer your other questions from below:
1) radio works exactly as expected but doesn't actually upload any changes? Radio works as expected including TX/RX progress bar and “Clone OK” 2) No changes are made; NO error messages.
I have the documentation from today’s session if you’re interested but didn’t attach them here as they seem moot at this point if the changes are being saved.

You need to be signed in, and just click the edit link at the top right. I'll dig into this a bit based on your data, but progress will be reported in the bug there and I'll post a driver module there to test. It'd definitely be good if you can get yourself attached to that bug so we can collaborate further.
Thanks!
