So, lets just make sure we've got our terminology straight here.  CHIRP 
has the following definitions:

  FM = 25kHz steps, 5kHz deviation
NFM = 12.5kHz steps, 2.5kHz deviation
WFM = (broadcast FM, wide-wide bandwidth)

That matches Icom's notion of the terminology, but not Yaesu's for 
example.  What Yaesu calls NFM is CHIRP's FM, and what it calls FM is 
what CHIRP calls WFM.

Although contrary to what I told you privately, looking at the code, 
CHIRP's Wouxun driver does have knowledge of the Narrow/Wide bit in the 
Wouxun's memory, but it could be interpreting the meaning incorrectly. 
If you could double-check the behavior with the above definitions, that 
would be appreciated.

Hmm, are you sure it's not inverted?  Like, you set it for no Skip and 
it turns on Skip on the radio (and vice versa)?

Hmm, that's definitely strange.  Have you tried changing something super 
obvious like a frequency or tone mode and confirmed that it does not 
update the radio properly?

Can anyone else with a Wouxun confirm that it's working for them?  I had 
several people try it during development and it definitely wasn't *this* 
broken.

Yep, this is known.  While I may add support for this in the future, 
their file format is really dumb and so I decided against supporting it 
directly in the first go-round.

Thanks!
