Sounds good, I'll look at these this week.

Yep, everyone is going up to higher frequencies these days.

Nah, it's close enough. In a year or so it might make sense to lower
this to 450Mhz or 400Mhz, then we can make it more consistent.

Or c) they had no idea what you were talking about.
People are so used to crappy looking analog channels that they
don't even try to finetune things unless they are really far off.

Sorry about that. I wrote a DB update once that depended on 4.x,
it was a mess to clean up with a 3.x compatible query. Perhaps this
isn't even needed in light of your experience with the two standard
cable offsets...
