[chirp_devel] VX-7r: power levels for 1.25m band

[David Griffith]

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?
