[aprssig] FREQ Object Formats

PEOPLE... Let me clarify. "-0.6M" as well as "-gobbledygook" will work as
well as "-junk" as well as "this is crazy" will all "work" since NONE OF
THEM ARE offsets.  Hence, the radio will give up and use the existing
standard offset, which in the USA is -600 if the freq is below 146.999 MHz.

The only thing that "WORKS" properly is what is in the spec, +xxx or -xxx in
10's of KHz.    PERIOD.

Anything else will be interpreted as not an offset and the radio will use
its standard offset but IF AND ONLY IF it has one.

Would you be kind enough to check if an offset of -0.6M works
Or the info I have that was tested by Mike works on this link
http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/doc:qsy
He tested it so I have no reason to believe it does not work

But since we are trying to get something a bit more standard going it helps
to check and at least be as compatible as possible

;LA5BR    *111111z6024.76N/00521.64Er145.750MHz T097 -0505kHz
Gives me an offset of 0.500MHz and also change the step to 5kHz

;LA5BR    *111111z6024.76N/00521.64Er145.750MHz T097 -0515kHz
;LA5BR    *111111z6024.76N/00521.64Er145.750MHz T097 -0525kHz
Gives me an error and does not QSY

;LA5BR    *111111z6024.76N/00521.64Er145.750MHz T097 -0550kHz
Works

;LA5BR    *111111z6024.76N/00521.64Er145.750MHz T097 -055
Works

;LA5BR    *111111z6024.76N/00521.64Er145.750MHz T097 -05
Works but is "rounded" up to be 0.600MHz
