The check all or none selection mostly for lazy bulk selection or deselection. As for why I would have a selection , where I live and the place I’ve been traveling to tends to have a large variety of different bands. In the San Francisco bay area, there’s lot to pick through for un/wanted results. Legacy version allowed me to say just grab just 220 bands, or sort by frequencies via memory slots page, and trim out what I need and dont need. Chirp-Next doesnt seem to have either functions. Its more a quality of life thing, I guess? > Anyway, please do open a feature request and I'll do some more thinking. If > other people have thoughts on this, let me know. I’ll do that, and my best to articulate the logic around it.
