Ah. I sat there waiting while it downloaded all 1000 channels because I didn't realize I could edit as it was working on that. I can see the benefit of having the radio verify each entry as it's being written but I don't like the idea that every modification is immediately written to the radio. I would prefer consistent behavior for each supported radio wherever possible, that of a document rather than a database approach. Just my preference of course. The desire to use channel checking by the D72 is not mutually exclusive with this approach. The changed channel would simply be queued and written when 'save' is selected.
In any event, I know I'm second guessing your efforts and that can be annoying. My apologies. I write python for a living these days so perhaps it's time to crack open the source tree.

I very rarely do a full download from my D72 because 9600 bps is so slow.
