[chirp_users] ICOM 92AD

[Mike Heitmann]

Hi James,

I was able to import your data file with no problems. I did not have to edit it.

All I did was connect my radio, let chirp read it, then selected the B tab, saved my data (for backup), then did a file->import on your file.

If the radio doesn't successfully read first, it's not talking to chirp and the file import will fail. Keep trying until it reads your data first.

It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to read the old data from the radio. If it does, your getting read errors.

Mike, N0SO
