[chirp_users] UV-S9 Issues

[bob at tyroneflats.com]

I evidently misspoke - it appears I did edit the original files. Attached is
the image file I created from the first download, then edited,  and a CSV
which I just now created via Export. "Radio > Upload to Radio" is available
in both files but neither puts the listed freqs into the radio. 

Microsoft Outlook doesn't seem to like the .img file so I renamed it to
.bob. Hopefully you can change it back and have a usable file - please let
me know.

Thanks Jim

download from radio, export to img file, etc. When I upload the very same
image file, with no edits, to the radio it populates both banks with 676.948
Mhz, changes language to Chinese, locks the radio and produces this error:

Do you have the original, unedited, successful download from the radio?
Attach it.
