That makes sense... it be good if you have a means to share that
script with the group.

It sounds like the best / most elementary option is to do the
set_transmitter prior to each and every channel change from within the
script (not a huge deal, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing the
boat).

I like your idea of making it one script with an option flag.  That
makes it efficient if I ever go to troubleshoot.

God Bless,
