[chirp_devel] help interpreting a hexdump

[Rob Owens]

I asked what memory address stores the "Functiom Enable" feature.

In the OEM software, that checkbox is right next to the "Wireless Start"
checkbox, but I don't quite understand how they're related.  Both are in
the "Wireless Change Channel" box in the GUI.

Thanks, I know I should probably ask them for clarification and I may do
that.  But I needed a little assurance that I was asking something
reasonable.
