Can I suggest to make it easy, put the ISS freq in the call freq  memory, so the way is quick or you can have it on scan on the seconday rx ( hold call down for 2 secs)

When the sat is in range on a side press the call button and you have qsy'ed

The alternate path you can put in "other" path in menu 3h0

One button, one menu selection 

Try it out today and let me know how it works
