[chirp_users] importing rows from a previous database
Hi, Initially, I had a friend load in my Baofeng UV5R from his database, with some other program, not Chirp. That worked fine, and then I started using Chirp on my Ubuntu, and with great accessibility, I subscribed to Radio Reference and downloaded some local stuff into my database, and all was good. Then I noticed that I lost all my weather radio stations, they were in the 80s. I can go back to an old Chirp database and find them there, but I am wondering if there is a way to import selected rows from the old database and moving them into the new one, over-writing the ones in the new database, in the same row numbers. I would like to learn to do this without re-writing them by hand.
Thanks. Glenn
You can do this with the File > Import tool, Ctrl-I.

Won't it overwrite everything? Or would I make a copy of an old database, and delete everything except what I want to import?

It brings up a prompt where you can select which channels you want to import and where you want to put them.

Attach your files so we can take a look at them.

I can, but I am going to have to get them from my Linux machine to this one. Before I do that, would it matter if one is an IMG file and the other is a CSV file? Thanks.

I should have added that I was trying to import the 6 rows of NOAA weather that start around row 80.

I was looking at the NOAA rows, 7 actually, and they have tones of 88.5 in there. When I try to copy and paste between images, it tells me that there is memory data out of range. The NOAA channels did work before.

Jim, In trying to copy and paste, from one image to the other, the actual message reads that the field that is out of range is the TX field. That is a weather channel, and in the field it is: 0.000000 I tried just 0 and 0.0, but none of that works. I think that is why fields 80 through 86 are grayed out for marking for import. What should be in these fields so I don't transmit?

I think I fixed the problem. I had to set the offset in the NOAA fields to none, and then I was able to set the number to none. Whomever set this up originally must have done it on a program that accepted that. Glenn

Actually, it should not matter if they are different file types, because I was able to uncheck the first 70+ rows.

Hi Glenn,
The quickest and dirtiest way is to load the old and the new images at the same time. Then just cut and past the memory rows of one tab in to the desired memory row of the other tab.
Another way would be to import the "old" image into current tab. You can chose which memory rows are imported and remap them to the desired memory rows.

I was wondering if it was like Excel in that way, if I could control + tab from data sheet to data sheet with a copy and paste. Glenn

Hi everyone. I had the same questions when I was trying to program my UV-5R and UV-5X3 than I found a very informative YouTube video that was the best and covered all my questions by Benjamin Gaston. Check it out I think that you will be pleased.
