<br>One good way I have found to edit CsV files is to use a spreadsheet program like Microsoft excel or one of the linux free variants. Simply import as a cSV, do your editing, then export back to a CSV file. Compare the original to the new edited version to make sure the same number of commas are in place on the right lines. BTW, I have already tried this on my windows box using excel and a program specifically designed for the Baofeng radio. So, it should work the same way with chirp as both that program and cHIRP should read or write CSV files in the same way.

<br>If I'm not mistaken, there was an issue of Microsoft Excel not editing
<br>the csv files correctly and when opening such a file up and saving it
<br>again, it introduced errors.
<br>
<br>Such errors did NOT occur with the use of LibreOffice (or OpenOffice)
<br>which is available for Windows, Mac OX-X, and Linux.

<br>
<br>Great job you guys are doing there - thanks!
<br>
<br>Can you please give me some help - I have a multi-function JiYKR cable
<br>to program my radios, but I can't seem to be able to get in to change or
<br>save any of the settings when I use the 'live' mode on Chirp. Could you
<br>give me some info on how to use the live mode and or suggest any other

<br>Well from the perspective of a screenreader user, I find editing things much easier to make changes in a spreadsheet program outside of Chirp and import them after the changes were made, so I would call that, the better way.

<br>The best way is not to use CSV files at all.

<br> One good way I have found to edit CsV files is to use a spreadsheet program like Microsoft excel or one of the linux free variants. Simply import as a cSV, do your editing, then export back to a CSV file. Compare the original to the new edited version to make sure the same number of commas are in place on the right lines. BTW, I have already tried this on my windows box using excel and a program specifically designed for the Baofeng radio. So, it should work the same way with chirp as both that program and cHIRP should read or write CSV files in the same way.

<br>
<br>
<br> Connected radio to CHIRP and downloaded the memories to CHIRP
<br> Exported memories to a CSV file
<br> Added the new frequencies to the CSV file

<br>
<br> How did you edit the CSV file?
<br> What did you change?
<br> Did you compare the new CSV file to the original file CSV file using a
<br> text editor?
<br> Attach both the before and after CSV files to this conversation so
<br> that they can be reviewed.
<br>
<br> The most common cause of trouble is...
<br>
<br> - The data format of a cell was changed.
<br> - The number of commas required at the end of a data row was changed.

<br>
<br>Agreed. If you can, use Libre Office rather than a Microsoft product. Excel messes with the empty comma seperated fields at the end of each row.
