getting over the learning curve in programming my radio. I am using
chirp-daily 20181205. I have created a CSV file with repeater information
that I pulled from <a href="http://repeaterbook.com" target="_blank">repeaterbook.com</a>. When opening the CSV file in chirp
several errors during open occurs. I know these errors are due to my lack
of knowledge and understanding what all the columns information that are
required. While the total error number is 36, there are basically 4
errors. I have attached my CSV file for review. </font></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

To fix these errors I go to the line number (row) and then to the column

information that is required to fix each cell.</font></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

UV5). The first step I did in programming my radio was to download the
radio image and save it as a CSV file so I would know what format and type of
information that is needed to program my radio. I added the information for
NOAA Weather into the CSV file and uploaded the CSV file to my radio this went
great. I then added about 5 more local repeaters to the CSV file and
upload to my radio. This went well too. I repeated this process to
program of program my radio and successfully upload about 30 repeater into my
radio. So I decided to take the big leap and added another 100 repeater
on my state. It at this point of open the CSV file with about 150
repeater that the error message start to display. I have attached the CSV
file for your review as it might help in trouble shooting. I would also
like to add more repeater in the Orlando area. My goal is to program as many
repeaters my state as possible and to have my radio organize the frequency by
geographical area with my home area repeaters listed as the lower channel
numbers.</font></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">
