TEMPn-N because then we can leave that support in all
D700 mobiles permanently so that users dont have to
reconfigure every time they want to use it as a digi.

Well, yes, for fun.  But for FD rules you have to use
a temporary digi, and so the easiest way is to be
on a different frequency such as 145.01...
