I have noticed some of these issues when trying to import from a data source (like a repeater directory). I can't just check the ones I want (not checkable). I either get them all or none. Also, I am forced to use Linux as the OS X version of the software is totally inaccessible with voiceover screen reader. I will need to check on a windows machine (using either jaws or NVDA) to see if there are any accessibility issues (last time I tried was a stable version some 6 months ago and couldn't even use it.). Since I am not a coder, I don't have the ability to input extra code to make it accessible. There are some accessibility features available in python scripting, but I fail to understand the reason why they aren't being used.

anyway,a good technical manual on the features and what they do would be very helpful.

This has got to be something stupid I am doing. its just too obvious.

Using VX-3, have about a dozen frequencies programmed.

1.  Uploaded into .img file. 11 memories filled from radio (from manual
   

programming), all is well

2.  Created list of many new frequencies into csv file, imported from
   

repeater db, all is well.

3.  Trying to import csv into img file. but.  
   
   

a. Trying to import starting at memory 20 and up (to leave my original programming along and give some room).

b. however, cannot import anything that is at entry 12 or beyond, nothing seems to happen.

4.  I CAN import into a memory IF it is one of the first 12 that
   

initially came in on the upload from the radio.

a. In Import from file dialog, all records are checked/selected.

5.  Memories mapped from CSV source location 1 mapped to target "to"
   

location started at 20 do nothing.

6.  Do nothing but change the from/to mapping to overwrite those 1st 12
   

that I had in the VX-3 when I uploaded, and all is well. It will overwrite the first 12 memories as one would expect but nothing else.

7.  Seems like nothing I do will "allow" the import to any "blank" or
   

unused memories that weren't part of the uploaded image.

a. Memories 1-11 show in a yellowish color in the "import from file" dialog.

b. In file/memory list viewer dialog (memories 12 and up) are greyed out.

I also simply tried the following and couldn't even do this, which has nothing to do with any imports..

1.  Take my vx-3 image file (.img) and open it up.
   
   

2.  Turn on "show empty" memories
   
   

3.  It has the 11 memories already programmed (manually) as mentioned
   

above.

4.  Try to edit memory 11, all is well
   
   

5.  Try to edit (empty) memory 12, cant add/change.  
   
   

6.  Try to add memory past the 11 already in place
   
   

a. Selecting memory 11, right click, select "insert row below"

7.  Same, nothing happens doesn't appear I can "insert" squat. 
   
   
   
   

Almost as if the memory slot is empty, I cannot edit it nor import, nothing. But that cant possibly be right.

I'm totally toast unless of course all I want to do is modify the 11 existing memories that came in on the upload.

I must be missing something quite silly. very frustrating - any help out there oh Obeewan's of chirp?

What does "Auto" do in the import dialog?

How does "special channels" work ( in .img dialog box/editor )?

Hi Dan,

Tnx for the response. I was using the standard stable release and I just downloaded/installed the current daily (weekly) build from 2/6.

I have almost the same problem, no different except now I get an error dialog when I try to edit the uploaded .img file by

selecting the first unused memory (12 with show empty option on). The error dialog comes up with "Invalid value for this

field 'unknown7' ".

When I select the last memory uploaded (#11) and edit that, all is well.

When I select the last memory uploaded and right click on "insert row below", nothing happens.

I don't know how to send you the file, it may get stripped off by the reflector. But I'll attach it anyway.

Is there any way we can connect offline via phone directly? This has gotta be something obvious I am doing wrong as

it is so basic to the fundamental operation this just can't be a bug. I'm sure a 5 minute phone call will fix it.

This should have taken me 5 minutes to figure out and be downloaded and done, now its taking a few hours !!!

Tnx,

-bob, w9zv

You don't say which version of CHIRP you are using. I just loaded the VX-3

image from the CHIRP repository into my CHIRP daily-20140105 and was able

to edit and move any memory. I also imported a .csv file with more than 50

channels without any issues.

Try the latest daily build if you haven't already. And if that isn't it,

attach you .img file for us to look at.
