I don't see how this is possible with CSV. CSV uses the first line to
indicate keys and positions of columns throughout the file. Then the
rest of the file is one line per memory. I don't know how you will
encode settings.

It makes more sense to me to begin by supporting Import/Export of
settings via img from identical radio models. For example, import
uv5r.img into another uv5r. For this you will not need any CSV
encoding or translation between models. I think this feature would
satisfy most user's need for settings import.
