If they're the same as the programmable memory channels on the TMG707A, 
you're better off with the memory group, I found the programmable memory 
channels on that to be a complete waste unless you have daytime settings and 
night time settings, that more deals with settings than frequencies, if it's 
the same as the TMG707A.
