I think you're the second person in a week to be confused by this, so I 
clearly need to change the interface just a tad.  Sorry about that.

First off, you can't upload a CSV file directly to any radio.  What you 
can do, is import a CSV file into a radio.  So, in your case, after you 
make your edits to the CSV file, you would go back to "Download from 
radio", and then do "Radio->Import" and choose the CSV file.  Does that 
make sense?  The "Download" terminology may be a little confusing, given 
that it's a live radio and you actually want to upload to it, but I'm 
not sure what word would be better and still fit the clone and live 
radio models.  I used to have two different menu items depending on what 
type of radio was being used, but of course, many people don't know 
which to use for their model :)

Note that you *can* just make the changes you want directly in the 
editor while in live mode and they will be sync'd to the radio in realtime.
