The Yaesu VX-7r supports L1 and L2 power settings for the 1.25m, but for some reason Chirp will not accept L2 for that band. Looking at the code in chirp/vx7.py I see where the check is made and L2 should be accepted. I cannot figure out why this check refuses to accept L2. The workaround is to manually reset the power level to L2 and re-save. Has anyone else tried to fix this?
Slightly related to this problem, one can modify the VX-7r to boost the transmit power for the 1.25m band. This is done by entering the factory setup mode. Looking again at chirp/vx7.py, I see statements that look like this: chirp_common.PowerLevel("L2", watts=0.30) What does that "watts=0.30" mean for the rest of Chirp? Will that interfere with the power mod mentioned above?
