[chirp_users] Chirp won't read CSV files correctly

[dnlrice at frontiernet.net]

Ran into the same problems.  Gave up on Chirp and just bought one of the better disk.  Worked like a champ with no problems at all.KB7YIJ

Computers don't lie--I bet line 17 of your CSV file has mismatched
line numbers, just as the error says. If you attach or post a link to
your CSV file, I could tell for sure.

Excel has a known bug where it will remove empty cells from a CSV
file. Maybe that's what did it. I generally don't recommend using
anything other than Chirp to edit Chirp files.
