Wow, that's horrible. I just checked, there are no meaningful options or settings on the Maillist homepage, just the option to get a digest instead of individual emails (1), which leads me to believe it is your email client. It looks to me like your email client, for whatever reason, is parsing

.img files are radio specific.  You can not use a .img file from an Icom ID-880H with a Baofeng UV5R for instance. To move data from radio type a to radio type b, you export the data to a .csv file(which has no radio specific data unlike a .img file).  Then open up an .img file for radio b and

I don't think there is a problem assuming your spreadsheet has the correct number of columns, correctly named and in the required order. Other software neither names the columns as Chirp does nor contains the required number of columns in the correct order. > On 11/01/2024 16:00 GMT Rich NE1E

Hi Rich I've probably missed something. Why do you need to use CSV files at all? If it's multiple radio types, I believe you can import the .img file from one radio into a different radio model. The only reason I see to use csv files is if you need to print it to paper. > On 11/01/2024 14:44 GMT
