[chirp_users] Step setting on radios

[chris at engravedimage.com]

That's the standard offset for UHF repeaters. that's usually selected, 
because different states have different standards. For example, in Ohio, 
simplex and repeater "channels" (for lack of a better word) are 15 KHz 
apart. In Michigan, they are usually 20 KHz apart.  5KHz plays nice with 
both.
