Pretty much get your point, and yes thanks for the original how to. But I've
just been through the channel scan I got from w_scan a few days ago, and it
seems I really do need all 7 frequencies if I'm going to get all the
channels I can. Granted that includes Wales, but lets not be welshist. And
bits of wales only occupies 2 frequencies :)

How good are you at c62- = freq stuff? Coz it seems, 634167, 658000, 738000,
754166, 794000, 802166 & 842000 are all required here to get all the
available channels. Drop the first two to drop wales, but I really doubt the
remaining 5 come from the same transmitter.

Meh. Got that far and realised it didn't pick up at least one freq when I
did the scan ... Will redo and re-check, but the problem is still the same,
a lot of duplicate channels, and a multiple guess on "suggest channel
number", "update existing" etc when trying to set it up.
