So - In the case of the Yaesu FT-70DR, in previous versions, lower case characters were automatically changed to Upper case in the UI for the NAME field. I added names to some new "channels" where I created a few entries and noticed it permitted me to have lower case names. I left them as that - lower-case.

Once uploaded to the radio, and after reboot, what you get is either blank spaces or stange garbage characters for that channel on the disply. It is not fatal, but mildly annoying. I came back home and change to upper-case characters and re-uploaded. It's all good.

This is the opposite of the Radtel RT-490 where the radio supports upper/lower-case but the application will automagially convert-lower case names to upper-case
