[chirp_users] Kenwood Image

[K0LNY_Glenn]

I read on-line that it has to be in PC mode.
I used an app on my iPhone called:
Be My Eyes
where a sighted person reads something with the phone's camera, for the 
Blind person.
and I went into menu #9, and PC mode wasn't flashing, I think there was 3 
choices, TNC, PC, or speaker Mic.
So I selected PC and I am still getting an error with the Kenwood software, 
I installed that to make sure it was communicating with the radio, since 
with Chirp, it will only download, but nothing downloads, just no errors in 
Chirp.
Is PC mode the right option for the Kenwood TH-F6A?
Thanks.

The Kenwood TH-F6A is programmed in "live mode". There are no CHIRP
Radio Images (*.img) files associated with radios programmed using
"live mode".

Are you just using a plain old CSV file or are you using a known to be
CHIRP compatible CSV file? I dug out my Kenwood TH-F6a and was able to
Import channels from an old CHIRP CSV file from long ago and had no
issues. You can't just throw just any CSV at CHIRP and expect it to
work.
