Sweet.

When I run against 97124, I get:

I did see it fetching a bunch of categories and stuff in the console though.

It takes almost as long to fetch my zipcode as it does to do a simple
RFinder query. Granted, it's doing a LOT more than RFinder, but it still
causes my window to dim. Since it's fetching things, we should work on
trying to make a throbbing progress bar of some sort. With RFinder,
we're just waiting for a single http request to complete, so we don't
have anything to drive a throbber naturally, but I think we can do
better for this. It doesn't need to gate inclusion, but is something to
think about, perhaps in one of your follow-on patches.

You will want to use chirp_common.parse_freq() here, which takes care
not to propagate the inevitable error to be had by storing the
frequencies in IEEE floating point format. Otherwise, you'll get some
issues with 6.25kHz (at least) channels here.

I'll get going on trying to get suds into the windows runtime (ugh).
