A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily)
follows:

Changes for Build #607
[Bernhard Hailer <ham73tux at gmail.com>] [vx8] #129, #1735 (same issue): fix for incorrect channel initializations

(resubmission)

Users complained that under certain circumstances 2m repeaters with negative
offsets were not programmed correctly and resulted in a frequency offset or
even an incorrect transmit/receive mode. Both issues #129 and #1735
essentially describe that same problem for the Yaesu VX-8. I ran into the
same issue with a VX-8DR I just got - which made me dig into Chirp

Two bytes were found to be initialized differently when manually programmed,
both were marked "unknown". After a few experiments these bytes could be
(at least partially) identified. (A side product was that I found the bit
responsible for narrowband transmit - that will be used in another patch
fixing issue #1615 to enable this radio for Chirp's "NFM" mode).

Tested with a VX-8DR.
