I did this, too. Interesting inconsistency. In fact, I copied a block successfully, which was my goal.

I had saved to a .chirp file.

I could not load the F6A .chirp file into the tab with the Icom image. Same error. Tried rewriting the .chirp. Same result. I can achieve my goal, so that meets my needs now, but still leaves the question...maybe I am still missing a point?

Indeed...dunno why it didn't occur to me to try...guess I figured that multi-instances worked the same as tabs.

~R~

p.s. This still leaves a few questions from the original post unanswered...why is the F6A live? Why not save an image (likely related to previous question)?
