Is that in one of the .img files you uploaded?

Chirp has a developer tool that will show you what the difference is
between the working and non-working channel. Open the two .imgs files,
then go to View > Developer > Diff tabs. It will tell you which bytes
are different between the Yaesu-generated channel and the
Chirp-generated channel. The next step is to try to determine what
those bits do and under what circumstances Chirp needs to set them.

(You can understand how programming a frequency outside of the
advertised capabilities of the radio is an edge case we didn't account
for during development.)
