Yep.  Here is part of your file:

> "Location";"Name";"Frequency";"Duplex";"Offset";"Tone";"rToneFreq";"cToneFreq";"DtcsCode";"DtcsPolarity";"Mode";"TStep";"Skip";"Bank";"Bank Index";"URCALL";"RPT1CALL";"RPT2CALL"

First, it's not comma-separated, it's semicolon-separated.  Second, the 
columns are quoted. Third, the "(NONE)" columns should be just blank.

Some people get confused into thinking that CSV is a strict format and 
that anything they save out of a spreadsheet as "CSV" will work, but 
that's not the case :)

Hope that helps...
