[chirp_users] Step setting on radios

[Dean Gibson AE7Q]

You are correct (corrected in my message below)!!!

My original "12.5kHz to 25kHz" is a related concept:  The *channel 
separation* frequency between different repeaters on adjacent 
"channels", typically set by the local repeater coordination body. 
Usually one wants his/her radio's *tuning step* to be the same as the 
channel separation, or a sub-multiple of that.
