- Program a couple of memory channels in your radio (in my case Icom Ic-2725) from the RADIO menus
- Connect chirp to the radio
- DOWNLOAD the data from the radio
- Export from Chirp to a CSV file
- Study this CSV file and use it as a template
- Copy paste frequency and ctcss and offset info ++ from ANOTHER XLS file to the CSV file you made above!
- Save as CSV from Excel (this is now your frequency list to import to the radio)
- Check with Notepad ++ that there is COMMA (not semicolon) separation saved when you save as CSV from Excel. If this is not the case, go to regional settings / additional and set list separator as , (as opposed to ;). Start and stop Exel and a reboot wont hurt to make the settings take effect
- Now you import this CSV list into Chirp
- Upload to the radio
- If you get error message that Chirp cant convert floating point in the tone settings, make sure to format EVERYTHING in your Excel sheet as GENERAL (not text, not number)
