[chirp_devel] Receive only channels

[Ben Weiss]

What if the label for that column in the UI were changed to something like
"TX"? Then you'd have a column 'TX' with the options "+", "-", "split",
"(None)", "Off".
Or, expanding on that, call it "TX offset", and change "Offset" to "Offset
MHz"? Might make things a little clearer without needing to change anything
else- the labels in the CSV wouldn't match the UI, but I'm not sure that
would really be an issue. Even if so, it should be possible to change the
import logic to recognize "duplex" = "tx_offset" and "offset" =
"offset_mhz" (or whatever).
