[chirp_users] CHIRP Feature Request

[John LaMartina ☀]

CHIRP can have frequencies appear in the LCD, but
   The radio is not capable of these frequencies.
Bench tests can be found here.

Aircraft frequencies are AM, while the radio is strictly FM.

Unfortunately, CHIRP cannot be made to made the radio do what it is not capable of.
