[HamWAN PSDR] Switch to 10 MHz channel plan ACTION REQUIRED

[Bart Kus]

Are these commands correct for modems which already have the 5-in-5 set 
of channels programmed?  Will it needlessly duplicate those channels?  
What if they aren't named "Sector[123]" before I start applying this set 
of commands?
