I think that this sounds like a great solution. Would it be reasonable to have an alternative "SWL" selection of bands available as a CONFIG option? It could be as simple as BANDS: HAM / SWL When in SWL mode, no transmit would be possible and the various SWL bands could be "band-upped" or "band-downed" to change from one to the other. Maybe show SWL somewhere on the display to indicate that one is in SWL mode. A good listing of the possible bands for SWL mode is here: http://www.dxing.com/tuning.htm Some of them could obviously be combined to reduce the # of bands. When finished SWLing, go back to CONFIG, BAND, and select "HAM" and go back to "normal". Possible?
