Script it. You need to go through the effort of setting up the script
once (and updating it every time they mess about with channels), but
it makes rescans a lot quicker.
There are several pages on the Wiki for channel editing scripts - one
of them should give you a base to start from.
As to ignoring the weak transmitters - don't do a full scan, but
either from a clean start scan a specific frequency and tick the box
(whose name escapes me) to find related transports. Once you have all
the transports you want, then do a "Scan existing transports" and it
will only pick up the channels you want from your main transmitter.
