It is somewhat slow, but nowhere near half-hour slow. While live update is
transferring data, you will see the status bar in the lower left corner
update with what it's doing.

I'd probably start by just copying one channel from the CSV and pasting it
into the D710GA live update tab. Watch for what it says in the status bar,
so you know what it looks like. Then check the radio for that one channel.
If it's not working, troubleshoot further. If it worked, continue on with
the batch of 128.
