Are you saying that after pasting, seeing the old line greyed out, and
uploading to the radio, that channel is still usable in the radio?

I don't know how the BF-F9V2+ works, but on many Chirp radios there is
two stage delete: the first delete or ctrl-x will mask the channel.
This is illustrated in Chirp by light gray text. The data will still
be in the radio, but you won't be able to recall or tune it (common on
Yaesu radios). The second delete will zero out the channel so there is
no evidence of it ever being there.
