Well, as days stretch into nights [and we doze off and dream that] for us lottery winners with nothing better to do than scan, having to call my servant to change the batteries gets rather annoying still. Anyways, what is a battery saving plan for monitoring just two frequencies? Say cops and ambulance; from the previous discussion, we know that putting the two in one memory bank and then doing a bank scan will enjoy no savings. OK, how about cops in VFO, and ambulance on "priority watch". Wait, the 5 second checking of priority must mean we will never enter long enough restful states to enjoy power save function benefits. OK, never mind. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780 ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Make Money Online Auctions!
