Well now I'm getting this error, and I've tried editing these fields and I don't understand the error when I try to paste them in, perhaps someone can shed some light on the error. I can try pasting my file here too. Glenn Chirp Error:

The documentation says you should use the Bf-F8HP radio type. Stop. Save a copy of this config before you do anything else. This is what you want to put back on the radio if you sell it or if anything goes wrong. Now, save another copy of it to use as your new config, then import channels from your other radio configs. Once you have all the channels you want, save again, then load it to the radio.
