[arm-allstar] picking frequency

[Ron Gilson]

Depending upon your location, some areas have reallocated the 420 to 430
part of the band to public safety.  You might consider using a simplex
channel, narrow band and 12.5 khz between the normal channels.  An example
would be 431.0625mhz.  Commercial two way has been doing this for 20+ years.
