<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But it's not a "generic file" - it's an export of
the setup that was in CHIRP at the time it was created, in a format that CHIRP
can handle. CHIRP is just using the CSV protocol to hold its
export.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>Right, well as I've said, when you create generic
CSV file from Chirp and go look at it, it still contains all the empty fields
and the extra commas at the end of the row. So....<BR><BR>Regards, Chris

wrote:<BR>> I am not aware of these bugs in Excel that were
mentioned. After creating my CSV file, I used a raw file viewer and
did not see any extra characters or missing characters. I am using
Excel now to edit the CSV files and they import fine. Is it true that
there has to be a default value in rToneFreq? And what about the
errors I get when there are columns with header text but no data in the
column? Could this be caused by Excel?</P>
<P dir=ltr>Yes, you need to provide appropriate defaults if you're not
editing with Chirp (when you edit a CSV with Chirp, it will fill in all the
defaults for you). Here's a quote from the documentation I linked
earlier:</P>
<P dir=ltr>"Field values must be in the original format and one of the
accepted values for the column type."</P>
<P dir=ltr>Excel is a generic spreadsheet program. If you want to use it to
edit Chirp CSV files, you will need to handle the data validation yourself
to ensure it stays in a format compatible with Chirp. </P>
