[MRCA] Gilbert VHF

[Al Klase]

I had problems with this in the past.  I couldn't imagine that 151.4 
wasn't close enough to 150, but I hadn't considered the levels.  I'd 
like to have a 51.0 base at Gilbert that can easily monitor for both new 
and old-squelch sets without having to put up with the noise..
