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.
