It appears that some models (UV-B5, UV-82, TERMN-8R) refer to Narrow FM as "NFM" and Wide FM as "FM", while others (Yaesu VX-8) appear to refer to Narrow FM as "FM" and Wide as "WFM".

When one attempts to copy channels between radio drivers that use different names chirp is unhappy and gives an error for every channel with a non-compatible mode.

Should these names be made uniform across drivers?

Or am I just misinterpreting the "Mode" meaning (entirely possible).

Thanks

After looking at http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MemoryEditorColumns and googling around, it appears that the VX-8 just doesn't support a 2.5kHz deviation on a per-channel level.

There appears to be a setting on the radio called "Half Deviation" which may do what I'm after, but it is unclear if it is saved on a per-channel level, and chirp doesn't appear to expose it currently.

I suppose I'll need to start digging into the dump files to find out.
