frequency mode will be stored in the EEPROM. If the radio if turned ON, it will start from
the last used frequency mode and the set priority channel ( CH 16 or 9 ).
When frequency modes are changed :
It will change to the same channel number of the channel it is changed from. If the
frequency mode does not have that channel number, the channel number next to it will be
used. But when the frequency mode is changed again, it will change back to the original
channel number.
