class=MsoNormal>Dave,<br><br>Yup, success! When I put 88.5 in the <b><i>rToneFreq</i></b> column (also used 67, I guess any valid tone freq) <i><u>and</u></i> deleted column headers from any column that contains no data <i><u>and</u></i> entered the correct number of rows in <b>Memory Range</b>---badda bing -- it works.<br><img width=275 height=91 id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:image001.png@01D1715C.3DFC7460"><br><br>I also figured out that I cannot directly <b><i>Upload</i></b> a CSV file to the radio, it has to be an IMG file, which makes sense, but the method for getting an IMG file is not obvious and with no documentation (that I could find), eew! So what I did was <b><i>Download</i></b> from the radio, delete all except the first row, save it as an "Empty" IMG file. Next, I <b><i>Open</i></b> that IMG file then <b><i>Import</i></b> the CSV file containing the memory channel data I want, and magically, it becomes an IMG file that I can now <b><i>Upload</i></b> to the radio. Is this how it is supposed to work or is there another way to do this? Does it work basically the same regardless of the radio brand?<br><br>Attached is the CSV file that causes the Column number mismatch error. The only difference between this file and the one that successfully imports is that there<b> IS</b> column heading text in columns M, N, O, P and Q, but there is no data in those columns. When I removed the heading text from just those columns, the problem goes away.<br><br>Thanks for your encouragement and ideas,<br><br>Regards, Chris W7CFN<br> <br>P.S. Is there no one working on some basic documentation? Perhaps I can contribute something, it's been pretty painful for me.<br><br> <br>On 2/26/2016 10:43 PM, Dave VK2FDJS wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I assume the file you attached was the one that gave you the second (smaller) set of errors.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>If you look at it in Excel, you'll see that rows 33, 35 and 40 are the only rows that have nothing in the rToneFreq and cToneFreq columns.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>There are two other rows that have nothing in the Tone column (rows 2 and 3), but these still have values in the other two columns.

I changed the top end to 39 and it imported all the rows in my CSV file. Wow, I know, there is a disclaimer about how you guys are good at programming and not so much at documentation.
