David,
So do you know if there is a file format spec for the img files
that CHIRP writes?
It would guess that even if the format differs between radio vendors/models,
there would be similarities to the keys/values that could be interpreted.
Thanks,
Eric

Agreed, a very worthy project, perhaps it can be posted as a development
feature, especially if you would be willing to let others develop it with you,
everyone might find it very useful in maintaining CHIRP and supporting the many
transceivers it works with.
Best wishes and thanks again for your kind message.

David,
Thanks. Re-reading your message with this explanation makes perfect sense.
I understand the ease of misunderstanding when it comes to email (and texting
is even worse).
The reason for my wanting this tool, is that I have somehow become the “go to”
person for programming other folks radios,
and I like to keep a record of what changes were made, when and why.
At this time, I track these things in a spreadsheet, and it works, but it would
be much easier to automate the process rather than copy/paste.
Thanks again,
Eric

I'm sorry it came off like that, it wasn't meant that way, I usually answer
questions with a lot of understanding, probably I didn't do as well this time,
for that and for any offense I inadvertently made I apologize.
No harshness was meant, if such came across, it was my regrettable choice of
words.
If you spoke to me that wouldn't come across, written communications is lacking
in nuance or at least good writers, and in this, I have failed this time.
To the original poster, I am sorry if my message seemed harsh, it was supposed
to be a URGENT warning to not hurt your radio, not meant to hurt your feelings,
or convey a lack of support from me or more importantly, this list. I think the
urgency of my warning to protect your radio from harm got in the way of my
otherwise better explanation and expression, again my apologies.
Best regards,
DR

Eric,
The IMG files are like photographic snapshots of the radio's memory channels,
they are unique to each version AND model of a manufacturer's transceiver.
CHIRP works with this unique file type which is why it is extremely important
to upon the first time using CHIRP to download the IMG from your transceiver,
save and safeguard it from loss. You can use this unique IMG file to restore
your transceiver to factory settings which is especially important if user
error causes your transceiver to be unresponsive, or "bricked".
Each model and make of transceiver has a unique IMG file.
Your question shows a lack of understanding of how CHIRP works, please read the
documentation and follow the instructions!
Failure to do so may result in irreversible injury to your radio equipment.
If this happens, contact this list for possible restoration measures using
someone else's IMG file.
Best wishes,
David N1EA

Is there a spec available for the format of the IMG file that Chirp uses to
same configuration values to?
