[chirp_users] Only 99 channels with Kenwood TM-281A

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

It's menu 15, not 17 but, same here. I've now got 100 empty channels.
We seem to be doing exactly as the manual says.
I guess it's broken.

I hope that would be an area where I could increase the number of channels to the specified 200 that is supposed to be available.  It's like the radio is stuck on alphanumeric mode.
