CHIRP can handle data in the following formats:

• Comma Separated Values (.csv)
• Comma Separated Values generated by RT Systems (.csv)
• EVE for Yaesu VX-5 (.eve)
• Kenwood HMK format (.hmk)
• Kenwood commercial ITM format (.itm)
• Icom Data Files (.icf)
• ARRL TravelPlus (.tpe)
• VX5 Commander Files (.vx5)
