This is a step by step procedure for importing site text files. Usually the site text files are delimited with commas or tabs, but they can also be fixed width. Pathloss 5 is flexible enough to read either.

Example link text file in CSV format:

Site name,Call sign,Latitude,Longitude 
Woking,CHW613,55.47972222,-118.74722222
Fairview,CHW614,55.83722222,-118.59666667

Step 1 - Open CSV file

Click View - Site List to bring up the Site index. You can also click the Site list button on the toolbar.

Select the text file you would like to import and click Open

Step 2 - Importing

This is a comma delimited file with column headers. Select Delimited and because we do not want to import the column names, set Start import at line to 2.
