Try changing the default contact to one where the ID is <255 (i.e one of the first 255 contacts)

There is a known issue where the editor will only allow a contact id between 0 and 255 (1 byte).
I have yet to look into this as no-one has come across the issue until now :)

It was fine until they added APRS and stored the value in the codeplug memory on the next byte after where the default contact is stored, which caused issues.
It was then set to read/write 1 byte for the contact id so it's limited to the first 255 contacts.
I need to work out how the CPS deals with it and update the code to fix the issue.

I Have similar issue, after I import (another little issue there ill add below)

I edit the csv save and import and get the error
import error.png
BUT if i goto the each zone and use the channel edit and click thru the next channel button on each zone the issue goes away and i can upload.

the other issue with saving a csv, if export and make some frequency changes or copy zone to replicate data for a zone with different frequency aka different hotspots, i have to format the ctcss columns to set one decimal place or it errors on import, and have to save as CSV with filter settings and then save.. i may be missing something in the csv editiing
