Thanks for all the work you guys do on Dan Planet. I have a Btech UV-50X2 and have cloned the radio file successfully, added frequencies using the "import from stock config" lists, downloaded the freq's to the radio and have used them no problem.

I wanted to add about 150 channels using the import function. I read the CSV how to page: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CSV_HowTo and watched youtube videos of others creating and importing CSV files. I looked through the 2018 and most of the 2017 archives and couldn't find anything pertinent.

I''m experiencing a problem. I exported my radio's channel list and created an initial CSV file to work on. In the file, I don't see any dimmed out channels after the last channel like I see on youtube. When I open the CSV file in Excel, I see the coulumns headers and channel data as expected. I copy pasted frequencies and channel names and inserted sequential channel numbers and saved the new CSV file.

When I use CHIRP to upload the channels from the CSV file which has the old channels and the channels, the program gives me an error for every new channel I added in this example channel #35:

Line 35: [rtone] could not convert string to float:

After hitting OK, I discover none of the new channels imported. Also when I open the CSV file in CHIRP to examine it, I get the same error and only see the original channels.

I opened the CSV file using notepad and I didn't see any difference between the original channels and the old channels. I can enter the frequencies manually but who wants to do all that typing. Does anyone know why the new channels can't be imported?

If it helps I copy pasted lines of the CSV file below...

Thanks.
