No, not from CHIRP's perspective :)

Okay, let me make sure I've got this right.  You can toggle the 
narrow/wide bit on the radio (or with the Wouxun software) and CHIRP's 
mode of NFM or FM doesn't change, is that right?

Can you send me two images (as downloaded with CHIRP) of the radio with 
a single N/W setting flipped on a single memory channel?

Hrm, weird.  Can you send me two images (as downloaded with CHIRP) of 
the radio, with only a single skip bit changed on a single memory 
channel?  (Be sure to tell me which channel :))

> Yes... definitely did... a whole lot of frequency changes and all... no go.

Well, this is a big red flag that something more fundamental might be 
wrong.  Can someone else confirm or deny this behavior on their end?

Not that I saw when I had the radio with me.  It was extremely willing 
to accept any data you sent it and write it directly into memory, almost 
to the point of being unsafe.

Just for further clarification, this is a KG-UVD1P, right?
