I've already thought about this, but it makes it impossible to link a channel to several lists. Sometimes, it's usefull. I don't know what users would think. About compander, no way, many user use it (not me). |

With the recent change to add another bit to the scan list a wish I had came closer, scan groups.
I have my channels organized in groups, e.g. [simplex, 2m relays, 70cm relay, 10m & 23cm, PMR, Freenet, Sea Radio, open]
Most of my channels are either important/simplex or of a certain group.
Instead of having each channel have the attribute to be part any of the scan lists, I would prefer to flag groups of channels.
Instead of interpreting the 3 bits as individual scan list participation bits, they are interpreted as an exponentially growing (with number of bits) integer.
The 3 bits would allow for 8 groups, a channel could only be part of a single group, rather any combination of the 3 scan lists.
Example of scan groups:
0: dummy for channels that are not relevant (eg. Air Radio)
1: simplex
2: 2m relays
3: 70cm relays
4: 10m & 23cm experimental stuff
5: PMR
6: FreeNet
7: Sea Radio
Currently it is possible to select the scan lists with the keypad. Same could be done with the replacement of scan groups. Making the selection simple.
Additionally if a bit could be stolen from the compander (currently RX and TX are independent, that would be removed). Then a "favorite" bit would be possible.
8 scan groups + one independent scan list participation (favorites).
Would a patch with this feature change be in your favor?
