Yeah, you can't upload to a live radio like the F6A.  The procedure for
you should be:

1. Click download from radio
2. Memories begin to populate in the editor
3. Make changes, which are sent immediately to the radio
4. Close the program

If you want to export to CSV and edit it offline, you can do that, but
then you need to import it back into the radio, you can't upload it
directly to the radio.  So, that case would look something like this:

1. Download from radio
2. Memories begin to populate
3. Export to CSV
4. Open/Edit that CSV file either with something like Excel or CHIRP
   itself.
5. When done, do the "Download from radio" step again, and then
6. Do import from CSV and choose the CSV file you changed
7. The import will write those changes to the radio

Does that make sense?  We probably need a couple of use-case scenarios
on the website for various workflows to make some of this more transparent.
