Not enough information to be 100% sure what is wrong, but the most common problem with CSV files is an incorrect number of commas, especially the trailing commas at the end of each line. Excel is terrible about not putting all the necessary commas on the end of a line -- Excel reads such files fine, but Chirp and many other programs insist on having all the columns accounted for.

OK

Update time

To the image file from the radio into Chirp

Exported a CSV file.

Opened that with Excel

Opened the RT file as a CSV in Excel

Took columns from the RT CSV file and place them into the F8HP file image only inserting into the compatible columns.

Saved as a CSV DOS compatible file.

Opened Chrip

Clicked Import and changed the format to CSV

Error : No Channels Found.

Any clues on what went wrong?
