As of 4/26/2024, the ICS-217A YELLOW plan files used for CHIRP programming (“2m_and-70cm.csv” and “all_bands,zip”) have been updated, to address an issue identified by Andrew Watson N1ACW:

“… Despite us always having had the step size set to 5 kHz in our CHIRP input files, CLAD 1, CLAD 2, CLAD 3, whose frequencies are precise down to 500 Hz, will not load into some radios with CHIRP next. The fix sets the step size to 12.5 kHz for these three channels.”

Please be sure to use the latest “2m_and-70cm.csv” when programming your radio with CHIRP!
