dumpcap -k is not accepting channel type values

I'm trying to perform a manual 802.11ac packet capture on a VHT80 channel.

When invoke the -k option, i'm getting not valid channel type errors:

HQSML-16882:~ Eng_Eval$ dumpcap -i en0 -k 5220,80Mhz,5220 dumpcap: "80Mhz" is not a valid 802.11 channel type HQSML-16882:~ Eng_Eval$ dumpcap -i en0 -k 5220,VHT80,5220 dumpcap: "VHT80" is not a valid 802.11 channel type HQSML-1688263:~ Eng_Eval$ dumpcap -i en0 -k 5220,VHT40,5220 dumpcap: "VHT40" is not a valid 802.11 channel type HQSML-16882:~ Eng_Eval$ dumpcap -i en0 -k 5220,40MHz,5220 dumpcap: "40MHz" is not a valid 802.11 channel type HQSML-16882:~ Eng_Eval$ dumpcap -i en0 -k 5220,40Mhz,5220 dumpcap: "40Mhz" is not a valid 802.11 channel type HQSML-16882:~ Eng_Eval$ dumpcap -i en0 -k 5220,80MHz,5220 dumpcap: "80MHz" is not a valid 802.11 channel type

When i checked the source code, I see the function call and enumerated list for the "-k" option, but it appears the string definitions for the channel type are commented out.
