[chirp_users] Errors In Importing CSV
Has anyone else experienced problems importing a CSV file. I'm using the latest build of CHiRP and have used CHiRP with various radios for about a year now. I created (exported) a CSV from a BaoFeng UV5R. I added some memory locations to the file and saved the CSV. The UV5R was connected to the computer, CHiRP (5/21) started and read the layout from the radio. When I tried to import the CSV file it gave an error that it could only read the first 16 lines and was unable to handle lines 17 to 92. Ideas?

Hi
I think you may have to enable all of the memory positions on the downloaded layout before trying to read the new csv import to the rig. From a past post to this list so maybe a search of the archives will show it.

This may have been brought up before, but when I first tried to read the memorys from the TH-F6. I got a blank screen. After a little research, I found out that the Ext Mic/Spkr connector on the radio can be programed for Mic/Spkr, TNC or PC. Changed it to PC and everything worked great. Thanks for the program.

I would look very carefully at the differences between lines 16 and 17 with a plain text editor. Probably some small format error.
The CSV format must be exact.

I believe that this is a known issue with excel. It has been discussed in the UV-5R group on Yahoo!. It adds extra commas or something.
Take a look at the file with a text programmer's editor and see what the difference is between 16 and 17.
