[chirp_users] FT-60r not receiving "on frequency"

[Milton Hywatt]

I have programmed my FT60 using other software, for a couple .xxxx frequencies
so I know my radio which I purchased in 2006 will take 12.5 steps. The radio 
itself can be set to narrow, 2.5khz. deviation for both rx and tx via its menu. 
So one would assume it should also accept 2.5khz steps and I've done some
data mining that confirms this. Just my $.02 as a long time Yaesu owner.

It sounds like Chirp is not sending the right bits to the FT-60 for
that frequency, probably because it's an odd step size. Please submit
a bug report with the same description you posted here. If you have a
chance, save two channels from the front panel of your radio. One on
477.380 and on on 477.3875, but otherwise identical. Upload the img
with your bug report and I'll examine the difference between the two
channels you created.
