[chirp_users] chirp, new Baofeng/pofung BF-F8HP and importing data from RT Systems software
Hey all
Got the new Baofeng BF-F8HP radio. Download the daily build suggest by the seller on Amazon.
Got Chrip installed. Radio image loaded to Chirp OK
Question is I have RT Systems software with all the data from my Powerwerx DB-750X loaded and I would like to import into Chirp and load the the F8HP.
I have tried exporting as a CSV file from RT Systems, but the Chirps give an error on import.
There are many more columns in RT with data than Chirp has and they are in a different order.
I have search through several months of posts and did not find anything specific to my needs.
Can some one direct me to a post or youtube video showing how to move the data from the RT software to the Chrip program that will function with the new BF-F8HP.
Also I see that this radio has only 120 memory channels is that correct?

Why wouldn't you just download from the Powerwerx DB-750X straight into CHIRP? I suppose their proprietary programming cable could be the issue.
Just like all of the UV-5R variants, the BF-F8HP has 128 memory channels.

When you save it as a .CSV you can open it in MS Excel or other spreadsheet software and just delete out those columns that are not needed by CHIRP then resave it and load it into chirp.

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

Any clues on what went wrong?
