[chirp_users] MDF-A and B

You say, "don't use both a and b to monitor 1 channel". I assume that
means that if I display the name on the top line (a) and the frequency
on the bottom line (b), I can only listen to one channel. How about
this. Lets say lines 1 and 2 on CHIRP are set to monitor repeaters x
and y in Falmouth. It is possible to program CHIRP to scan only certain
of the potential 128 channels. If I set up the CHIRP spreadsheet so
that the scan only looks at lines 1 and 2, it should simply alternate
between the two repeaters. And the two-line display would simply bounce
back and forth between repeater x and repeater y. Would that work?
