[chirp_users] Elementary help for novice requested!
I've just bought a Baofeng UV-5R III and I'd like to use it for marine vhf and 2m and 70cm amateur bands. I've held a ham license since the 1980s but have been inactive for many years.
I've succeeded with "Download from radio". I've also opened a new page to "Import from stock config" to open FR marine vhf.
I can't seem to be able to "File; save" or "File; save as"?
When I'm on the marine vhf page, I can not "upload to radio" The text is greyed out?
All help gratefully received!
Many thanks

Sounds like you're missing a step. Once you've downloaded successfully from the radio, save that file and keep it in case you ever want to go back to the settings it came out of the box with. Next, with that file still open, select "radio" from the top menu, "Import from stock config," and then select the UHF channels you need. Now save the modofied file under a new name, and with that file still open, try writingback to the radio.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for the response, Tom, much appreciated.
Your description is pretty much what I’m trying, unsuccessfully, to achieve.
I don’t seem able to either “file, save” or “file, save as”. Clicking on either doesn’t appear to work. When I’m on the page with “stock configuration” the “send to radio” option is greyed out.
I’ve tried a few times but always the same result. My next step is probably to download the chirp software and try again. Otherwise, I’m stuck!

Look at the tab for the file you have open that you're trying to write to the radio. If it says something like "Generic CSV" a the beginning, you can't write that to a radio.
The problem is that you're opening a new file, or at least that's what you said you were doing in your original email. The only files you can write to a radio are files that were created by reading from a radio. The name on the tab should be the model of the radio you pulled it from. Save an unmodified version, then import the stock config into the file you got from the radio, save it again with a new name, then write it to the radio.
If "Upload to radio" is blank, it's most likely the tab you have open didn't come from a radio.

At 4:40, he has just pulled the config from the radio.
At 7:00, he starts importing VHF channels
At 11:00, he uploads the file he just finished downloading and modifying back to the radio.

Jim and Tom,
Thank you for your helpful, informative and welcoming responses.
I’m pretty sure that I understand everything you’ve written.
I’m using an HP laptop running W7. I have a second HP laptop running W10 but I prefer the other machine.
I’ve already tried to copy and paste the marine vhf stock configuration but I highlighted all rows, select all, copy, paste into a file, new. It didn’t work but I’ll try again one row at a time.
I’m still having issues with file/save and file/save as. As I click on either action, the screen simply reverts to the open page. Sounds pretty simple but I haven’t yet found a way to save/change name as save!
Hopefully. The YouTube video will help. I’m now away from home for the weekend but based upon your feedback I’ll be enthusiastically trying again on Monday!
Kind regards
David

David, Do you have an image file with the frequencies? Like a CSV file, or a spreadsheet file? I think it works best to just import such a file with the frequencies rather than copy and paste. So if you have a file with the frequencies, and it's a CSV file, do an import and pull them in that way, and then upload that to your radio. HTH. Glenn

You can't paste it into a new file. It has to be the one you downloaded from the radio. You just delete all the frequencies and add new ones. Then upload that.

Hi, David. The CHIRP community sometimes makes assumptions about what you already know, and we are sometimes wrong. I think you need to adjust your mental model of what is happening. (If this is all obvious, I apologize.) Here's a way to think about it.
CHIRP can handle many types of radio, and it also handles abstract "csv" data files. Each type of radio has a unique type of "image" file that is unique to that radio. The only type of file that you can upload to your radio is an image file of your radio's type.
Each tab on the top of the CHIRP window is file of a specific type. You can only upload to your radio if you are currently in a tab that matches your radio's type.
Your current goal is to upload data from a particular abstract CSV file. You cannot do this directly. Instead, you must start with an image file of your radio's type. We recommend that you download from your radio to create this file. Next, you can read in the abstract CSV file with the data you want into another tab. Now, you can "import" the data you want from the CSV file into the radio image file by any of several methods: see https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CSV_HowTo Now you have an image file of the type your radio is happy with and you can upload it. You do this while you have your radio's image file tab selected, not the CSV tab.

Jim and Tom,
Thank you for your helpful, informative and welcoming responses.
I’m pretty sure that I understand everything you’ve written.
I’m using an HP laptop running W7. I have a second HP laptop running W10 but I prefer the other machine.
I’ve already tried to copy and paste the marine vhf stock configuration but I highlighted all rows, select all, copy, paste into a file, new. It didn’t work but I’ll try again one row at a time.
I’m still having issues with file/save and file/save as. As I click on either action, the screen simply reverts to the open page. Sounds pretty simple but I haven’t yet found a way to save/change name as save!
Hopefully. The YouTube video will help. I’m now away from home for the weekend but based upon your feedback I’ll be enthusiastically trying again on Monday!
Kind regards
David

Look at the tab for the file you have open that you're trying to write to the radio. If it says something like "Generic CSV" a the beginning, you can't write that to a radio.
The problem is that you're opening a new file, or at least that's what you said you were doing in your original email. The only files you can write to a radio are files that were created by reading from a radio. The name on the tab should be the model of the radio you pulled it from. Save an unmodified version, then import the stock config into the file you got from the radio, save it again with a new name, then write it to the radio.
If "Upload to radio" is blank, it's most likely the tab you have open didn't come from a radio.
Check out this youtube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l_kdktZAkI
At 4:40, he has just pulled the config from the radio.
At 7:00, he starts importing VHF channels
At 11:00, he uploads the file he just finished downloading and modifying back to the radio.

Your description is pretty much what I’m trying, unsuccessfully, to achieve.
I don’t seem able to either “file, save” or “file, save as”. Clicking on either doesn’t appear to work. When I’m on the page with “stock configuration” the “send to radio” option is greyed out.
I’ve tried a few times but always the same result. My next step is probably to download the chirp software and try again. Otherwise, I’m stuck!

I find the easiest way to create a new file for a new radio is to simply highlight a previously successful file, right-click and hit "Copy", then place the cursor in the upper left-hand corner of the new blank file and hit the right-click and "Paste" button. Synching all of your HT's makes them interchangeable. If they have different capabilities, those should be managed separately. Chris Knowles, N1CAK

Hi David,
I've just bought a Baofeng UV-5R III and I'd like to use it for marine vhf and 2m and 70cm amateur bands. I've held a ham license since the 1980s but have been inactive for many years.
Welcome back to the hobby.
I've succeeded with "Download from radio".
This is the recommended first step. This creates a tab that is compatible with your radio. After downloading from your radio the tab name will be "Baofeng UV-5R: (Untitled)*". All tabs compatible with your radio must begin with "Baofeng UV-5R: " to be compatible with your radio.
The first successful download should be saved, unedited, to a CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file to be kept in a safe as a backup.
I've also opened a new page to "Import from stock config" to open FR marine vhf.
"File" -> "New" -> "Radio" -> "Import from stock config" -> "FR Marine VHF Channels"
creates a tab named "Generic CSV: Untitled.csv*". Being a "Generic CSV" it not compatible with any particular radio.
I can't seem to be able to "File; save" or "File; save as"?
Where are you trying to save the file? Do you have sufficient permissions to save in this area?
You will need to provide more information here. What error messages are you seeing? Which operating system you are using? Etcetera.
When I'm on the marine vhf page, I can not "upload to radio" The text is greyed out?
As mentioned above, a CSV file is generic and cannot be directly uploaded to a radio. This is why "Upload to radio" is greyed out when such a tab is selected.
What you have to do is import the "FR Marine VHF Channels" data into a tab that is compatible with your radio.
Another method would be to open a new tab with the stock config file's data along with a another tab that is compatible from your radio (either freshly downloaded from your radio or loaded from an existing file that was previously downloaded from your radio).
"File" -> "Open stock config" -> "FR Marine VHF Channels"
Then you can copy-and-paste memory rows as desired from the "Generic CSV: " tab to the "Baofeng UV-5R: " tab.
All help gratefully received!
Many thanks
