Yaesu VX-8G with low deviation on APRS

I've discovered that APRS emissions of my VX-8G are not decoded by some TNC and I think that the cause is the very low deviation (very low level of audio tones) of my Yaesu HT.
Is there any secret service menu where I can increase the packet deviation?
Thanks and 73

I've never heard of anything. Perhaps it just needs an alignment?

Thanks Moleculo!
I've read that other people have this problem and I have to find the procedure to enter into service menu (the one for VX8 does not work...)

Attached is the the VX-8gr alignment procedure

Many thanks dear Moleculo!
Unfortunately, it does not work on my VX-8G: my rig does not enter into alignment procedure... :-(
Tried also to do a total reset before, but nothing: with HM/RV button hold during power ON, my VX-8G powers up normally... :-(
Thanks and 73
