Yeah, maybe. A duplex of None means no duplex. The point was to
interpret the duplex field as a command, along the lines of "what
happens when I transmit". Many radios overload their duplex
field/setting/indicator in a similar way.

Changing it now would be a bit of a problem, because people have CSV
files out there with "off" and even if we supported that on read, users
with new versions of CHIRP would create invalid CSV files for users of
older versions. If you want to write a patch to handle it as gracefully
as possible, we can certainly discuss it.

Thanks!
