Hi Sander,

Sorry no one has replied yet.

The only solution that comes to mind is not unplugging the D72 before
exporting, if this is indeed what you did. Try this:

1. Plug in D72 USB
2. Launch Chirp
3. Download from D72
4. Export to CSV

The D72 sends data at only 9600 bps, so the export may take a while
(the D710 will do 57600 bps). After exporting once, I prefer to manage
memories via the csv file, so I don't have to endure another download
from the D72.
