LDH-1 USS WASP - the correct ILS frequency cannot be entered in the DED.

Build
Falcon BMS 4.37.1 (x64x) Build 451Detailed Description
The issue is the correct ILS frequency for the LHD-1 USS WASP cannot be entered in the DED. This means the AV-8B is not able to communicate with the Carrier LSO.
Sometimes the LSO comms do work if you leave the default settings 109.00 but this is not ideal. If you do try to enter other frequencies you will find that you will no longer be able to contact the LSO on the WASP and this will impact Take Off and Landing procedures.Any chance of someone looking into this because its been a problem for a long time.
Pictures
…Reproducibility Procedure
1.Set the TCN channel to 15X
2.Enter 112.10 for the ILS freq (will not accept)
3.Call the LSO and try to request taxi for departure.Expected Behavior
Should be able to set the ILS frequency for the WASP according to the table listed on page 20 of the NAVAL OPS manual.Thank you Devs for the recent updates for the AV-8B.

@Kavelenko @Micro_440th
Concur with @Kavalenko.4.37 stations+ils.dat lists 112.20 for LHD-1 WASP and 113.10 for LHD-2 WASP. Both are out of the ILS allowed frequency range (108-111.975) per BMS Technical Manual Section 5.3. Therefore, ICP/DED would consider either of those as invalid ILS frequencies and would not allow their input.

@white_fang I’ve tested your ILS frequency of 109.65 and it does work consistently. Well spotted.

@Micro_440th I do believe there is a bug report for this. (If there isn’t, that’s my bad!)
EDIT: IT is already reported. @Micro_440th - Check PM.
