1) "too close" to the band edge is groundless concern for the last 20
years since we have digital synthesized rigs.

2) If people are "confused" THen simply don't call it 10.151 LSB, but call
   it 10.147.6  USB.  Its the SAME frequency (assuming someone is using
   an 1600/1800 Hz shift.  But the BEST way to refer to the global APRS
   HF freuqnecy is 10.149.2 MARK and let the user do his own math based
   on what TONES his TNC uses.

They are all the same freq.
