[chirp_users] Kenwood 2000 and WFM
Hey All, I'm working on a CSV file to import into my Kenwood 2000, and I'm putting in a few commercial radio stations, and I am wondering about the FM stations. Will the Kenwood 2000 accept the WFM in the mode column, or do I need to use just FM? Thanks.
WFM usually means 25KHz channel spacing as opposed to narrow being 12.5KHz. For broadcast FM you need around 150KHz bandwidth.

This would depend on the particular radio model and how the developer chose to support it. Unfortunately "Kenwood 2000" isn't an actual model number so I will assume that you are referring to a Kenwood TS-2000.
In this case the TS-2000 driver only supports "LSB", "USB", "CW", "FM" and "AM" in which case the FM would be the typical 25KHz channel spacing. The NFM (12.5KHz) and wider WFM (broadcast) bandwidths are not supported.
My Kenwood TH-F6a, on the other hand, supports "FM", "WFM", "AM", "LSB", "USB" and "CW".
