Maybe CHIRP should default to "1+2", as well. I would suggest opening
a ticket to request it.

You don't have to enable the "estra" settings. You can right-click the
memory number and choose "Properties" from the list that appears.
After the "Memory Properties" editor opens, choose the "Extra" tab to
find the "Scanlists" setting and change it to suit your needs.

The Memory Properties editor allows you to program commons settings of
multiple memories all at once. Just highlight 2 or more memory rows
before activating the Memory Properties editor. Edit the properties of
the desired settings. Once you click the [ OK ] button all of the
highlighted memories will have been updated accordingly.
