But for what is on the markets, and no end in sight, some/many need it exactly, some manage to come through a mixture of exactly and auto, which also breaks such auto capable for more if something is wrong there. Currently I would give the so far last word on it to the maintainer of that mess, but I'm not against Barry and would even consider a "all known universe" scan file including neighboring countries, if this doesn't mean Christoph has it on his back too. The reverse effect will be, we have it already with federal state scan files now, that we likely will see more questions about why the hell I don't get this one and tuning failed ... To share a center frequency over several federal states under such conditions seems to be plain wrong and I wonder if there was a rule.
