[chirp_users] ? re 'duplex' field

[Kevin Whipp, W3KDW]

Benton,

Take a look a the supported features documentation,
http://chirp.danplanet.com/download/0.3.0/Model_Support.html.  If you
scroll over to the right, you will find a column labeled "Duplexes".  It
will list for each radio what the valid options are, including the "off"
option.
