I evidently misspoke - it appears I did edit the original files. Attached is the image file I created from the first download, then edited, and a CSV which I just now created via Export. "Radio > Upload to Radio" is available in both files but neither puts the listed freqs into the radio.
Microsoft Outlook doesn't seem to like the .img file so I renamed it to .bob. Hopefully you can change it back and have a usable file - please let me know.

I downloaded and installed the most recent version (20210416) first thing this morning. I tried following the steps in the help documentation – download from radio, export to img file, etc. When I upload the very same image file, with no edits, to the radio it populates both banks with 676.948 Mhz, changes language to Chinese, locks the radio and produces this error: > > “Edit > Properties” in Chirp does nothing.

Attach it.
