Hi Stuart, Under "file" is "import", I think alt I is the keyboard shortcut. Browse to your CSV file and let it import. HTH. Glenn

I have organised a list of FM repeaters for 2m/70cm/23cm from the WIA repeater data spreadsheet. I won't publish it here, but suffice to say, it's more than I want to try and punch in via the keypad. 556 records. First problem is getting Chirp to even talk to the DJ-G7T. I have no idea what firmware it runs. I went looking in its menus but could not find where this information is shown. All I can say is I bought this from a online retailer (Andrews Communications) in Sydney around 2020. I am running the latest commit of Chirp: commit 49698a5b21a5a696be7f2121bc3ec8f4605b5b0c on Gentoo Linux AMD64 with Python 3.10.6, wxpython 4.0.7-r2 and wxgtk 3.0.5.1. Gentoo no longer ship Python 2.7. No I do not have a Windows-based PC as I don't use legacy operating systems for production work. To even get Chirp to talk to the Alinco, I needed to patch it (I think this will preclude me using a pre-made "binary"): diff --git a/chirp/drivers/alinco.py b/chirp/drivers/alinco.py index 7bfffa39..b3350653 100644 --- a/chirp/drivers/alinco.py +++ b/chirp/drivers/alinco.py @@ -595,7 +595,7 @@ class AlincoDJG7EG(AlincoStyleRadio): TMODES = ["", "??1", "Tone", "TSQL", "TSQL-R", "DTCS"] # This is a bit of a hack to avoid overwriting _identify() - _model = b"AL~DJ-G7EG" + _model = b"AL~DJ-G7T" _memsize = 0x1a7c0 _range = [(500000, 1300000000)] I was then able to download an image file from the radio. If I load up my CSV file, the upload option is greyed out. So clearly I don't directly open the CSV file, I have to "import" it somehow. If I try to copy the repeaters into the image from the radio, even just one repeater, Chirp segfaults. So clearly it's not a matter of copy and paste. How does one import a CSV file into an existing radio image? -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere. _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list [email protected] http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to K0LNY at [email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] To report this email as off-topic, please email [email protected] Searchable archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list [email protected] http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to [email protected] at [email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] To report this email as off-topic, please email [email protected] Searchable archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
