eqNByte() function is a redundant reimplementation of strcmp().
Remove eqNByte() and switch its usages to strcmp().
No functional change.

Now you can move it towards match_string().

static const char * const regulations[] = { "FCC", "MKK", "ETSI", "WW13" };

	regulation = match_string(regulations, ARRAY_SIZE(regulations), Regulation);
	if (regulation < 0)
		...ai-ai-ai...

and so on for the rest.
