Is it possible to "import" the codeplug information from my astro spectra to my new Astro 25? I have 119 channels and don't want to type all that information again. The Astro 25 software will import an excel test file (*csv) but I can't export my astro spectra as that type file.

You can do a CSV export/import, but it takes a lot of data munging. Still, easier than monotonously typing in every single channel again.
What CPS versions are you using? CSV export/import (they call it Export to Application I believe) was available in the latest versions of Astro Portable and Astro 25 Portable when I did mine a while back.

You can also do some drag and drop, but you will still have to verify and fill in some blanks.

My Astro Spectra is R04.01.02
Astro 25 isR08.00.00
Got a good start. I exported the old code plug, opened the new program and told it to import from application. I received this message:
WRONG FORMAT: Import terminated on line 2 because it encountered the wrong format.
Expected but did not find file format version (indicated by the keyword: __File Format Version__).
Any ideas? And thanks for your earlier help.

I did a top node drag & drop from Astro Mobile to Astro25 Mobile with few problems.
