[chirp_users] Request help on using Chirp and a new radio
David, You have helped me before when I needed it and was just learning to download Chirp and, save it etc. And, to download and/or "clone" my old (sent back) Baofeng UV-5R . I have a list of frequencies in a Chirp file and, would like to upload them to a brand new UV-5R 8 watt radio I just received. May I ask a favor? How does one go about sending that list of frequencies to the new radio? If I did this (any of it) more often, or at least ONCE, I'd be ok but, this is all new. Scott
Download an img file from each radio and label it with the name of the radio.
Do that first it's urgent.
The read this: https://baofengtech.com/CHIRPImport
I believe I used to export to csv file, then download the radio I wanted to program. I'd paste from the csv file into the img file.
I think it's also possible to open up each radio, one in a different tab, and delete all the memories in the radio you want to program and go to the tab with the radio you want to copy and copy the cells. Go to the other tab and paste. Save the changed img file with a different name (include the date in the file name), then upload the file to the radio.
Don't get confused and upload the wrong img file from a different radio. That will cause big problems.

Hey David, I sincerely want to thank you for checking up on me and my radio issues. We had some sudden out of town stuff to deal with on the last weekend. MIL had to be moved from a 46 year residence to a “Seniors Apartment complex”. Man, what to of stuff she’s accumulated over that amount of time. Anyway, I’m gonna get back with this radio stuff shortly. I really do appreciate your help here. I will let you know how things turn out. Thanks again. Scott
