[chirp_users] Chirp won't read CSV files correctly

[Chris Nordstrom]

I think I understand why there is so much confusion -- my purpose was 
not to use a third party tool specifically for editing the data, it was 
because I already have numerous CSV files created by Excel or by export 
from another radio.  I wanted to use one of these files to get my 
initial channel list into the new KG-UV8D without having to type in the 
data one row at a time.

That's where I started having trouble.  As you say, those files did not 
contain the extra commas for the empty columns and that is why I got 
errors right off the bat.  After deleting the extra columns (I just 
deleted the header text) and then Chirp was able to read and import the 
file without the mismatched column numbers error.  Then I discovered 
that other fields must have a default number in it even if not used 
(rToneFreq for instance.  I fixed that and now all is good.
