[chirp_users] Unable to import csv file
Hello, I am a long time user of Chirp, but I've never had a need for support so I just finally joined this list. I have a Baofeng UV-5R that I downloaded my old memories from successfully, then exported to a csv file. I then put that csv file into excel to edit it and save it back as a csv. I've done my best to preserve the format, but I couldn't import the editied csv successfully. After that, I started removing unused columns and such in an effort to get it to import. No such luck. Can anyone tell me what I screwed up with the csv format? -Chris.KK4LCGSyracuse, UT
Hi Chris, I learned that Excel is not keeping the commas in the CSV file. You might try using something like Open Office to import your file, edit it, and save it. I believe Chirp will only use the columns it can use, so if there erroneous columns, I'd try leaving them before you import the file back. HTH.

The first line of the CSV import file must list the column titles exactly as they are emitted when you export a CSV file from CHIRP: you cannot make any changes whatsoever in the column names (although you may delete columns). The first line of your file has nice pretty names that do not match the CSV names, which preferes to use ugly names. Here is the first line of a file I just exported: Location,Name,Frequency,Duplex,Offset,Tone,rToneFreq,cToneFreq,DtcsCode,DtcsPolarity,Mode,TStep,Skip,Comment,URCALL,RPT1CALL,RPT2CALL,DVCODE

Thanks. I finally got it to work. I had to delete the first 3 lines which was APRS and calling frequencies. All the repeaters imported after I did that. -Chris.
