1)  I realize that.  However, beaconing SEVEN icons at the exact same 
coordinates at the same time causes them to all be piled up on top of 
each other, so that only ONE is visible on a map display.   At least if 
they were beaconed at staggered times (perhaps 5 minutes apart), users 
might have a chance to see all of them. 

If these were beaconed on RF, the same thing applies - the first three 
in the sequence above will blink for just an instant on a D700/D710 
screen before disappearing.   The user will probably never even notice 
them. 

2)  The repeater offset on the UHF repeater is IMPOSSIBLE!   If the D710 
autotune actually processed this, you would be transmitting .66 MHz 
outside the UHF ham band.
