[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R Frequency mod

[John LaMartina ☀]

The FM broadcast radio is a separate isolated function/circuit.
It is not the same as the transceiver portion.
The FM broadcast radio requires a much wider bandwidth on the receive side for music.

The VFO portion is reserved for transceiver operation only.
