[chirp_users] CSV Partial Load

[Ken FitzGerald-Smith]

He needs values for all these fields in  your csv file: rToneFreq, cToneFreq, DtcsCode, DtcsPolarity, Mode, TStep

rToneFreq & cToneFreq need to be proper ctcss tones. 67.0 will do

DtcsCode needs to be valid too. First valid code is 023

DtcsPolarity needs to be one of  [‘NN', 'NR', 'RN', 'RR']

Mode needs to be AM or FM at least

TStep (tuning step) needs to be numeric! Zero will do

So this:

35,BECKER1/AGAVE,153.62,,0,,,,,,FM,,,,,,,

Needs to become this at a minimum:

35,BECKER1/AGAVE,153.62,,0,,67.0,67.0,023,NN,FM,12.5,,,,,,

There is no problem with the / in the name, but remember if you see a conversion error like  ’String to Float’ for any field, that indicates that you must supply at least a numeric value, not an empty field.

I hope this helps

Ken
