Andreas highlighted that the doubel assignment is not needed and
wrong. Change the code to assign chan_list[0] before writing the
base frequency to the header. Update the testcase to make the highest
bit set and update the test result.
I saw the old copy of the "Appendix J" code too late and I have
discovered some quirks and I am more familar with my implementation.
Most noticable 'w' only needs to be as big as the input arfcn but
requires the 'w' to be initialized. The power_of_2 implementation
differs as well (mine matches the output of wirehsark).
The f0 could be chosen in a better way but right now picking
the lower bound is the easiest. It is not clear if to use
modulo if the range is chosen in the middle. This can be improved
in the future. Right now I have no bit fiddling for range128, 256
and 1024 as I was running out of time.
