I would not recommend writing a different radio's img file to another one. While it can work, it can also be catastrophic. I use copy and paste within chirp to move data between many different radios and it seems to work fine. Kenwood to Baofeng, Baofeng to Kenwood, Kenwood to Yaesu, Baofeng to Bt

I did not know you could import an image file. The best way to do this does not require messing with CSV file. What you do is download from the source radio and save the tab to a CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file. Then you downl

Ho Hugh, Try using Copy & Paste in Chirp itself, without bothering to export to a spreadsheet. Download a fresh copy of the GT3 config from the radio. Copy (as in cmd-C) the config lines from the GT3. Change radios. Then get a fresh download from the GT5 (The GT5 download should create a

Thanks, Nigel. I just wanted to make sure he didn't try uploading the wrong img file. Of course, you're right. I've done it a zillion times, but I'm not home. 73 DR N1EA On Thu, Feb 27, 2020, 21:13 Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF wrote: > > On 27 February 2020 at 20:54 "D.J.J. Ring, Jr." wrote: >

You cannot do that. Plug in the radio, download from the radio. Save the image file in case something breaks. Same thing with a different radio, give the file a different name, like John Smith's BF3TP. Save that file. Never assume same model radios are 100% comparable. NEVER! Export the freque
