I think that this sounds like a great solution.

Would it be reasonable to have an alternative "SWL" selection of bands
available as a CONFIG option?

It could be as simple as BANDS: HAM / SWL

When in SWL mode, no transmit would be possible and the various SWL bands
could be "band-upped" or "band-downed" to change from one to the other.
Maybe show SWL somewhere on the display to indicate that one is in SWL mode.

A good listing of the possible bands for SWL mode is here:

Some of them could obviously be combined to reduce the # of bands.

When finished SWLing, go back to CONFIG, BAND, and select "HAM" and go back
to "normal".

Possible?
