yup, found em,

its a shame you cant set 2 profiles and switch between them easy (inc 
freq). I am thinking now of setting up the d72 for ariss on Saturday 
night and change it back when I get to sydney.

I am also now thinking of a d710 for the car so run ariss, normal vhf 
and hf when away.

Now I wonder how to feed all the stuff into one computer of better yet 
into the Avmap G6.
