[chirp_users] Importing a CVS files into a Chirp/IC2200H image file.

[Peter Akins]

Hi All,

I am a new user to Chirp and I am initially using it with an Icom IC 2200H
(around 200 memories).   Cable  and com port all OK.  Chirp talk to the
radio.

I am endeavouring to import a general CVS file of the local repeater list as
published by the WIA (Wireless Institute of Australia) here in Australia.

I have created an image file from the IC 2200H by ³downloading from the
radio².  No problems in doing that (works perfectly!).  I save this image
file for future reference, but that is an incidental comment.

I leave the image file ³open² in Chirp.  I then attempt to import the local
WIA Repeater list into this image file.  However, I receive a message that
indicates ³UNKNOWN FILE FORMAT².

(I have deleted all Repeaters from the WIA Listing that are not 2 metres, so
as to keep the list below 200 repeaters, and so as not to compile a list
(via the import function) that is incompatible with the IC 2200H (a 2 metre
radio only)

I guess my question is, how do I prepare the WIA Repeater list (a CVS file
which I can see using Excel, of course) so its image matches the
Chirp/IC2200H image, and will then presumably enable the import function to
operate nicely.

Regards,

Peter Akins
