Is there a way in Butel ARC300 to automatically sort the frequency list? I understand sorting frequencies in memory will often speed up scanners. I don't know if that applies to the PRO-163 and PRO-164 or not but I'd like to try it. I don't see any way to do that in Butel ARC300. Is that functionality in the software, and if so, where?

Can you export to CSV, sort in that, then import it back?
I am not sure if ARC300 had this feature built in.

That's a good suggestion! I would prefer if the functionality was in the software but at least this might be a way to still essentially accomplish the same thing. Thank you for the idea!

I do it externally via a CSV, as I have a couple of users where I need to have them sorted differently.

Our local bus company has two repeaters which covers the city I live in and both carry the same traffic:
464.275MHz
464.375MHz

While I can hear both from home, the 464.375MHz one is closer and has a better signal, so I want that to be scanned before the 464.275MHz one.

The same applies to our state wide train network, I can hear 4 repeaters from where I live, 1, 2, 3, 4. In this case, 3 provides the best signal at home, so I have that programmed before 1 and 2.
