Description

Some tuning step values for the FT-70D are incorrect, namely 5KHz and 6.25KHz. Creating channels in chirp with the default 5KHz step will become 6.25KHz on the radio. This doesn't really cause any issues if you're not adjusting tuning on a memory channel from the radio, but if you open this image with Yaesu's official software it will snap everything to frequencies that match the tuning step, and since 5 doesn't divide into 6.25 it will change some frequencies.

In the attached image, memory slots 50-59 were stored from the radio using the same frequency but with all different tuning steps in order (50 is 'auto,' which gets stored as 25K). The next two are really 5 and 6.25 but show up as 0 and 5 in chirp. Steps 10 and above are correct.

Looking at the raw memory the sequence appears to skip over 2 (0x00 = 5, 0x01 = 6.25, 0x03 = 10, 0x04 = 12.5)

Seems to work now. I uploaded the data from the radio again and my test channels showed the correct steps, also changed the other channels to sensible values (most showed 6.25 now) and they match after writing the file back to the radio.
