Hmm.  The main code needs a lot more comments.

What is 'required_step' and 'fix_rounded_step' in chirp_common?

In the VX2r we are allowed a step size of 9, which is not accounted for in 
these routines.  I have declared it in STEPS in vx2r.py, but this is not used 
by chirp_common.py or passed as a parameter.  So chirp barfs on 1.458 MHz, 
which is an AM station in one of my memories.

Whilst I'm at it, the memory name is limited to 6 characters, which is 
recorded in  rf.valid_name_length = 6, but then hard-coded in various other 
places.

The good thing is I am now reading my VX2r manual very carefully and finding 
out about the cool things it can do... and then wondering how to implement 
them in chirp.
