Oh, great. The FT-7900 is mostly shared code with the 8800, so if I can fix them both at the same time it will be easiest. unknown1 is just a coincidence. I'd need to examine an image to determine the best way to fix both of these radios with shared code. You should be able to program memories from the front panel of the radio. In the FT-7900, can you program 3 identical channels, but with different modes?

By the way, the "show raw memeory" option probably disappeared because you don't have developer mode turned on.

I think you'll need a daily build for that feature.

Have you had a chance to test this? Any daily build since 2012-10-09 has the change.

I tried the .py file earlier but couldn't find anyway to load it in Windows.

I've tried Daily281012 and it is working well on the FT-8800. I haven't tried the FT-7900 yet because that is out in the car.

One thing that is a nuisance for changing mode is that when the mode box is clicked twice (once to select, once to edit), the drop down doesn't drop automatically, so a third click is needed. Is it possible to have the 'combo-drop down with fixed contents' (that's the VB term for it) auto drop when selected?

I'll test out the FT-7900 when I get a chance. The irony is that since I lodged the bug, the repeater in question has been upgraded to normal FM, so there isn't a need for NFM on it. Oh well! NFM is still good for monitoring public service channels though.
