Yes, I am trying to use one in Australia, where all the channels are 7 MHz
bandwidth like the German VHF channels - so I have even more reason to
care :)

I've got a pretty good idea of what to do, but I haven't found any time to
try it out yet, and since I'm leaving for two weeks holiday tomorrow, it
doesn't look like I'll get to it this year.

But I'll be sure to post here when I do get it working.
