[aprssig] Kenwood D710 & Yaesu FTM-350AR Compatible Frrequency Objects

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

The frequency specification only provides for nnn.nnnMHz (3 dot 3) for 
the frequency.  Any deviation from this will likely not be recognized by 
the radio firmware.  The FTM-350 (and likely the -400) are even case 
sensitive on the MHz!
