Icom PCR 1500 advise

[santana]

I just got a PCR 1500 and can not figure out how to make CVS files that I can import intoo the PCR 1500 folder. I have frequency lists, but can not put them into the radio software memory file data base. Can anyone direct me into finding out how to do this? thanks alot,,John K3JK

I believe you are talking about CSV vs CVS.

CSV = Comma Separated Values

Edit your frequency list so that the values on each line has a comma between the values.
Save the file as a simple text file to eliminate document formating that is hidden from view, but stored in the document.

If the file is saved as XXXX.txt then rename to XXXX.csv.

It should now import. I have been very brief, but maybe it is enough to get you started.

Additional info PCR-1500

hi everyone, thanks for the reply I got for adding files to the PCR-1500. I still can not get it. I just got Microsoft Excel and save the CSV file into the folder of the 1500. When I try to import it into the screen, it clicks but no information comes up. And when i try to x out of it, it asks me if I want to save changes. So it wants to open the excel file and maybe opens it, but no info on the screen. Can someone respond with any suggestions? thanks in advance, John K3JK

i have the same problem, trying to import a .csv file (from yahoo group) the list remains blank.

Try opening file rather than import in the memory channel editor window, that worked for me.

hi everyone, thanks for the reply I got for adding files to the PCR-1500.

In the future please click "Post Reply" instead of creating a new thread. I've merged both threads to clean things up.

Yes I see this thread is WAY OLD,
But did anyone end up getting a Solution to this?!
I just got my 1500 and so far have the same result.
If I import or try to just open.
I have been doing this in my spare time and have not had the
Radio hooked up while I've been doing it (at different location)
But I also don't see how that should matter for a software memory
Editor.
So yes I am bringing up a thread from 2009 but hoping to get a solution.
The import export option is why I subscribed to the radio reference site.

Thanks ahead of time.

Did you look at the Butel software as a possible solution.

Not for the pcr version.

The ARC1500 programming software for ICOM IC-R1500 and R2500 scanning receivers looks good. Will this work with Windows 8 or Windows 10? The website says from XP to Windows 7 but also has free lifetime updates.

Can you still buy an ICOM R1500 or R2500 new? How much are/were they new and usually how much do they sell for used?
