You need to call it with -b 1

Mmh, that shouldn't happen, but it's also triggered by not calling it with -b 
1.

The frequencies have a factor modifier (16000), and radio reads the frequency 
back from the hardware after setting it, I guess your radio driver is 
reporting back a value with the factor modifier applied twice.

This kind of comments will get you far. If you don't want to use it, no one is 
forcing you.
