This is still quite complex. I'd go for something simpler, namely a 
single SWL "band" that contains all of the frequencies outside the ham 
bands. The SWL "band" could be placed between 6 meters and 160 meters in 
the BAND switch's rotation, and would always contain the last 
non-amateur frequency used.

The existing CONFIG:BND MAP menu item could be used to enable/disable 
this feature: SWL IN would enable the new feature, SWL OUT would restore 
the existing modus operandi for those who prefer it.
