FYI, even though in the United States there are 11 channels, the majority
of these channels overlap with one another.  Each channel consumes 22Mhz,
however they're only staggered in increments of 5Mhz.  There's a decent
diagram available at <http://tinyurl.com/3zy4e>, but the gist is that
there is only one combinations of three non-overlapping channels: 1, 6,
and 11, and four combinations of two non-overlapping channels: 2 and 7,
3 and 8, 4 and 9, and 5 and 10.
