You don't "import" to a radio. You upload to it. CHIRP will provide a specific error message. CHIRP also puts information about the error in the debug.log file that it creates. You should provide this exact error message and/or debug.log file. Without this information, it is hard to give specific advice. The most common error message is cause of problems is "Radio did not respond". The 2 main causes of this are... 1. An incompatible device driver for the programming cable is installed. This mostly happens when using Windows (you didn't say what you are using) and the programming cable was manufactured with a Prolific type USB-to-Serial chip. The driver installed by Windows is incompatible. A workaround for this is to download, install and select the older Prolific v3.2.0.0 driver. https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php#install 2. The 2-pin plug of the programming cable and the socket of the radio are fully engaged. This can be due to variations in manufacturing of the socket in the radio and/or the length of the pins on the programming cable. Sometimes putting pressure on the plug during the cloning process can help with getting the required connection. Other times there is an interference between the plasting shell of the plug and the case of the radio that prevents the plug from being fully inserted. Sometimes a modification of the plug's shell is needed to make a proper connection. https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_ErrorMess.php#error1 Many times both of these conditions exist at the same time. Both have to be addressed before CHIRP can communicate with the radio.
