Parameters
data in, required spectrum	The spectrum data container to use to get the necessary header information.
freqs in, required	The frequencies to convert (MHz), may be an array of values.

Keywords
frame in, optional string	The rest frame that the frequencies are in. Known rest frames are listed in frame_velocity. Defaults to the frame given in the data container.
true_frame out, optional variable	The actual rest frame used in converting the frequencies. The only way this will not equal the frame argument is if that argument was invalid. In that case, this keyword will be the same as the frame in data.frequency_type.
