For what it's worth, my stratigy for programming a new radio is I simply
put in all the repeater pairs possible for 2 meters.  I realize not all
areas use the same repeater spacings but so far this has worked for me.
There are a total of 73  repeater pairs if you consider the following.
145.11 - 145.49 every 20 khz = 20 repeaters
146.61 - 147.39 every 15 khz = 53 repeaters

Of course this only works if your radio has enough memory but since we are
talking about the v7 then no problem.  My T90, VX-2R  and the IC-2100 in
the car are all programmed the same, so no matter which radio I'm using I
know, for example, that memory 44 is 146.955 (a popular repeater in this
area).  

I use a simular strategy for UHF, but I only program the local repeaters.
The UHF memories of the V7 are the same in the T90.  So UHF memory #1 on
the V7 is Memory 401 on the T90 and the T90 UHF repeaters are in their own
bank

Tom,

Why do you need two repeater lists?  Aren't you using the same ones no 
matter which direction you're traveling?  Remember, the primary purpose of 
the software is to load the radio, not to maintain a list.
