[chirp_users] 20160209 Build Issue

Wed Feb 10 10:34:03 PST 2016

Ah ... now I understand!
I don't think copy and past can work with excel!! (consider I'm not at 
all a microsoft guru)

But it works (at least is supposed to work) from and to a CSV opened in 
Chirp.

Try this:
1 start Chirp
2 menu File - Open
3 in the file type selection box, which is close to Open button, select 
CSV Files then go to your existing saved CSV and open it
4 download from radio as usual
5 go to the new tab
6 select some (or all) special channels
7 copy
8 go back to the CSV tab
9 select a line and paste

optionally you can create a blank CSV in Chirp with File - New.

If you plan to use excel to modify CSV remember that the file must have 
the correct structure to be managed by Chirp and Excel is known to alter 
files, ask to microsoft experts for details.
