yes, it is a limitation of the 857 itself.

Subject: [chirp_users] Yaesu FT-857d, RF Power
 
Trying to program my Yaesu FT-857d. Is my reading of the supported features spreadsheet correct: that there is no way to set RF power levels for memory channels through CHIRP? It would rather inconvenient if I have to set each one manually through the radio’s interface.

Thanks in advance,
Gregory Penn
