<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Once you have a CVS file you open your chirp
program, plug it in to the radio, or rather the opposite, plug it in, and then
open chirp, and download from radio.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>That will pull down your radio's
stuff.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Then you do import, and browse to the CSV file and
enter on that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Once it's imported, it's in the Chirp program, but
not yet in the radio.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So the next step under "radio" is upload to
radio.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>That will put all that CSV stuff into the
radio.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>That's about all.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Well folks,</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> I know, I know, most of you think I was
dropped, MANY TIMES as a baby but, I simply cannot make this work. I have
created a file, using the appropriate format (spreadsheet type) with the names,
frequencies, PL, offset and all the appropriate insertions. And it got saved as
a CVS format!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the life of me, I cannot save it
as an IMG file. It just won’t happen. I have tried everything I know and tried
to save my creation many times but, when I click on save as, it comes up with
literally 27 different names and formats but, NOT ONE OF THEM IS IMAGE!! </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><FONT size=2></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">And, as far as I understand the operations of
Chirp, you CANNOT import a CVS file to upload to your radio. ONLY an IMAGE file
can be uploaded to a radio. And, as far as IMPORT or EXPORT, it's not available
in the save as choices. I’m sorry I’m such a bone head but, I’m just not that
good at this stuff. I can navigate around a computer and cut and paste, save
stuff, post photos on emails, post photos on forums, and a few other things but,
this import and creation of file types, just alludes me.</DIV>

<DIV>"UI" means "User Interface." It means what you see when you run CHIRP and
the menu commands available.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>For now, you should forget about .CVS files. Just download an image file
(.IMG) from your radio, edit it to add repeaters (frequency and PL tone), save
it to your hard drive, then upload the edited filed back to your radio.</DIV>

<DIV>Hey, Scott. You need to adjust your mental model of how CHIRP works.
Don't think in terms of "converting .csv to .img". Instead, you can <BR></DIV>
<DIV> 1)download your source radio's data into the CHIRP UI
(or load a .img file into the UI)<BR></DIV>
<DIV> 2) edit it within the UI</DIV>
<DIV> 3) export the result into a .csv</DIV>
<DIV> 4) manipulate the .csv</DIV>
<DIV> 5) load a .img file for the TARGET radio into the CHIRP
UI<BR></DIV>
<DIV> 6) import the .csv file into the UI so as to modify the data
in the UI</DIV>
<DIV> 7) upload the data from the UI into the TARGET radio, (or
save the UI onctent as a .img file.)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Yes, some combination of these steps does result in "converting a .csv
into a .img", But that's not teh way it's described.</DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps.<BR></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hey gang,<U></U><U></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’ll be the first one to admit it, I’m not a computer
guru. I know how to navigate around here and there but, when it comes
to technical stuff, I get lost pretty easy. I’m new to this site and
I’m new to Chirp in general. I’ve asked a question or two so far on
here and have been graciously answered. Well, I’m still trying to
learn. I have a Yeasu VX-170 and a new Baofeng UV-5R 8 watt unit. I’ve
managed to load a few frequencies onto the Baofeng and it’s all good.
But, a buddy just bought the same exact radio as mine and, I wanted to
program his to the same frequencies, minus a few that wouldn’t apply to him
anyways. But, here’s the deal. All of files I’ve saved are csv files.
From my brief learning period, csv files CANNOT be uploaded to a radio, only
IMG files can. Here’s the problem. If I want to upload frequencies, they
must be from an image file and, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how
to convert a csv file to an image file. I’m on about a 6 year old Dell
Inspiron running Windows 8.1 on a solid state hard drive. I know, I know,
Windows 8.1 is sort of old school but, the reason I have and use it is
because, when I had the new SSHD installed, it was at a time when Windows 10
was brand new and many, many folks were not happy with it so, the company
that was doing my computer rebuild asked me if I wanted to remain with
Windows 8.1. I said, yep, keep it. So, that’s the story on that.
<U></U><U></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><U></U><U></U> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Now, how to convert a csv file to an image file so I can
alter it and, then upload it to a radio. And please, please, I’m very low
tech so, if you explain how to do it, do it as if you’re talking to a senior
citizen which, I am. <U></U><U></U></P>
